The house reading
Four days, and nothing to do with ready-to-wear.
Haute couture has its own calendar, always apart. Few days, very few houses, and the right to use the term is protected by French law.
A single piece can take hundreds of hours in the atelier. That is what separates January from any other week.

How this week works
Four days, and nothing to do with ready-to-wear.
Haute couture keeps its own calendar, always apart from the ready-to-wear weeks. Few days, very few houses, and the right to use the term is protected by French law.
A couture piece can take hundreds of hours in the atelier. That is what separates January from any other week on the calendar.
What changes for those attending
Dates confirmed by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
The difference
Why do this with us.
The date is public. What changes is everything around it, and who answers on the other end when something goes off plan.
- 01The invitation is personal
A show is not for sale. It depends on a relationship with the house, and that relationship the magazine built over thirteen years.
- 02Your place in the room
Front row, second row or standing change the whole experience. We agree that beforehand, in writing.
- 03What comes after
Showroom, dinner and the party that night. In Milan and Paris, that is where the week actually happens.
- 04A hotel at the right distance
Being ten minutes from the show matters more than a lower nightly rate.
How it works
Three steps to a proposal.
You tell us the date, how many are travelling and what you would like to see.
We check real availability of access, hotel and table, and send the proposal in writing.
We adjust until it is right. Only then is there a booking and payment.
Frequently asked
Before you write.
Is access secured?
It depends on the date and on what you want. In the proposal we confirm in writing only what is already secured. When something still rests with third parties, we say so plainly rather than promise it.
What does it cost?
There is no price list, because each trip is built once. The figure depends on the access category, the stay and the number of guests. The proposal itemises everything, with no obligation.
Can I bring a group?
Yes. Groups change the logistics and sometimes open doors that do not exist for two people: a whole house, a private table, a boat. Tell us the number when you write.
What if the date changes?
Event calendars change, and that is not ours to control. When they do, we rebuild whatever can be rebuilt and tell you at once what is refundable and what is not, according to each supplier’s rules.
