Valleys. The couture is necessary

Giambattista Valli

To ask whether the Haute Couture Today , when nation states are failing, finance has lost the light of reason, the economy is on its knees, wages have lost the value of purchase, the taxes increase every day and the French, the land of choice Couture, are shocked to have lost their triple-A (an affront to the grandeur!), is a false problem. Because, says Giambattista Valli , "while the couture tailoring the knowledge needed to preserve and keep alive the studios, which are a school not only work but also of life."

is in good shape controversy , Valleys, a sound argument against those who consider immoral make clothes that cost as much as an apartment. Controversy old , in fact, he never found a real bank to which dock. "We need to dispel the false narrative of those who argue that the couture customers are few", says Valli. "It is not true. The customers are a lot more than you think. telescoping is the first time with my collection, but I always couture dresses and, for example, when I opened my shop in restructuring and equipping them I paid only from the proceeds of couture dresses. "

So, in addition to maintaining a culture that moved in so many trades that are disappearing (the seamstresses, the premiere, the patterns, embroidery and so on trades that require know-how and dedication), the couture is also a sector that makes, especially in a globalized world that does not limit its resources in a few areas for those who are accustomed to think like the rich countries. "And, finally, enough of this false morality. I believe that today is a more vulgar rich man who does not spend the rich and that it spends its resources put into circulation. "

There's no denying, Monsieur Valley, as they call it in Paris . The reasoning is quite acceptable. Especially since he says, his collection will be a kind of primer of Haute Couture : "A tribute to an art that must disappear." This reasoning of Valli to parade before the collection, whose story I will tomorrow .
