Haute or Not?...

A really good friend of mine posed a really interesting question awhile back… What is considered Couture these days? At first Im like, “Duh Popcorn, Christian Siriano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab, Giorgio Armani Prive. Shall I continue?”.

 



But after some thought I have come to realize that the look of Haute Couture has truly evolved into something new. There are no longer any rules, when it comes to the components used or the manner in which they are worn… Now I think couture is more about exclusivity then it is about; lace, chifon, silk and all their grandeur. Prime example Rick Ross, was honored to have- made for him personally- a pair of Red Snake Skin Reebok Pumps







 (I personally like the Black Out Twilight Snake Skin Reebok pumps better but not the point lol)








Im sure that there are atleast 10 other ppl who want to don those kicks but will never be able to… And for those of us who are not fortunate enough to get the hook up in exclusive apparel , we will either wait on line or sell our soul for a pair of Air Yeezy’s lol



It seems to me that, street wear has now become apart of  the Haute Couture Archives. The great thing about this is that Hip Hop, once the the “black sheep” of the fashion world (circa 1996 ie,Tommy Hilfiger) is now setting a standard of its own. The bad thing is I may never get me a pair of Snake Skin Reebok Pumps L. In either case I love that there are no longer any limits to where we can go with our personal interpretation of our style journey. With that said I dare you to make your own lane in the evolution of what is considered…. Haute Couture…..

Til next time Be Safe, Stay Blessed and Stay Fly
