Couture was only for rich people. Givenchy was for rich people. A bag cost 5,000 euro a coat cost 10,000 euro. In the beginning, I couldn't react. I was just working like a machine, because I wanted to make the house happy.
Riccardo Tisci

Couture is emotion. Couture is freedom. Couture is not thinking about pricing and not thinking about craziness. You can do whatever you want to do in couture.
Riccardo Tisci
Image
The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
My work is a fusion of personal experiences and influences - moody atmospheres, victorian-inspired couture, and timeless elements all laced with clandestine symbolism. The figures I paint exist in their own esoteric realm and time, and each painting offers a glimpse into their anomalous world.

Fashion is always connected to manual work, previously at least. That's what couture is all about. Today, this is giving an opportunity to people with those skills, but who don't really have those jobs anymore - it's something I always make sure I do.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.
Nick Frost

Even during the golden age of fashion, you had haute couture houses where the designers didn't have money.
Olivier Theyskens
Image
The problem with couture is not designers it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
Alber Elbaz
Image
With Dior Haute Couture, the dream is already there.
Patrick Demarchelier

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
Alexander McQueen
Image
On my own account I certainly wouldn't have become the director of a couture house. I didn't have sufficient admiration for fashion as such to have done so.
Pierre Berge
Image
I only take risks in couture, but I don't take risks in athleticism.
Andre Leon Talley
Image
I call the language of political figures, pundits and administrators the haute couture of language.
Anna Deavere Smith
Image
I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.
Christian Lacroix
Image
In prêt-à-porter now we understandably need to make the collection satisfy the big market more, so couture is extra special.
Riccardo Tisci
Image
I really love Juicy Couture - it's young and fresh.
Dionne Bromfield
Image
I love fashion. I love couture. I'm going to erect a shelf in my bedroom with an art light to be the spot for the shoes of the month.
Sandra Bullock
Image
I don't really buy designer stuff. I have a few nice things, but I don't really have the occasion to wear couture too often.
Emma Watson
Image
I love the focus and bravery of European designers, but I love the nonchalance and throwaway aspect of America that has made Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein two of the greatest icons. I try to bridge those two worlds in my work. The clothes may be couture on the runway but there's an attitude that's very street and that comes from America.
Vera Wang

I started collecting couture when I was about 10 or 11 years old, and the very first piece I bought was a Balenciaga suit from 1962.

Haute couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation, If, in ready-to-wear, a garment is manufactured according to standard sizes, the haute couture garment adapts to any imperfection in order to eliminate it.
Yves Saint Laurent

One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.
Jason Statham
Image
I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.
Jimmy Choo

The habit of breaking up one's colour to make it brilliant dates from further back than Impressionism - Couture advocates it in a little book called 'Causeries d'Atelier' written about 1860 - it is part of the technique of Impressionism but used for quite a different reason.
