Women :: Demi-Couture
This month's Town and Country magazine has a photo montage entitled "The Rise of Demi-Couture". At price points start close to $11,000, then climb to $28,000 and finally, "prices upon request" evening gowns are illustrated and described as combining the "craftsmanship of haute couture with the accessibility of ready-to-wear fashion". The workmanship, from hand sewn pheasant feathers to individually placed sequins, is highlighted to emphasize the couture element. At these prices for just the "demi" and not the "full" couture, it's a sign of the times that we're indeed living in the "Gilded Age".
