The Luxe List: The Couture Details

mainimg

Not officially couture, those price tags run into the tens of thousands!! But these pieces are almost one of a kind and will not be recreated on the high street! The level of detail and artistry that has gone into these items makes them a complete luxury. At the highest level of design and craftsmen ship these are certainly investment buys but they are certainly worth it. With these pieces, you need to let the shape, form and fabric do all the work and keep colour to a minimum.
