Zie jij het verschil?
***
What is the relation between haute couture and prêt-a-porter? The first one makes you think of priceless luxury, made to measure and craftmaschip, the second one feels more commonplace. But is this still true? Nowadays techniques and materials that were traditionally specific to haute couture are also used in prêt-à-porter. The distinction is a lot less clear and both genres influence each other. Of course there still is a difference but it's sometimes hard to tell just looking at a garment. The exhibition Haute-à-Porter takes this as a staring point to explore the differences and similatities and shows the most exquisite garments. For fashionistas it's a dream to discover all these beautiful clothes in a splendid scenography. Even if fashion isn't your main interest, you'll be captured by the creations. The exhibition runs till September 11th. If you haven't been yet, you simply must go. Or do like I did and revisit the exhibition to let everything sink in.
Can you spot the difference?
In the rest of this post you can test if you spot the difference between haute couture and prêt-à-porter. Of course this is way harder in pictures but when visiting the exhibition you'll see it's very hard in reality too. At the bottom you will find the description of the items on the pictures based on the numbers in the caption. |

Wat de expo helemaal fantastisch maakt is dat je zoveel details kan zien. De meeste silhouetten staan niet achter glas en je zou ze bij wijze van spreken kunnen aanraken (wat uiteraard niet mag). Je kan zo dicht bij komen dat je de details in de stof en afwerking echt ziet.
What makes this exhibition really incredible is that you can see so many details. Most silhouettes aren't behind glass so you could practically touch them (which isn't allowed of course). You can get so close that you can really see the details in the fabric and cut.

Persoonlijk was ik onder de indruk van alle creaties die ik daarvoor enkel in magazines of online had gezien. Al die prachtige stukken in het echt zien, was een belevenis.
Personally I was very impressed to see all these creations that I only ever saw in magazines and online in real life. It was an amazing experience.

Tot slot mijn persoonlijke favorieten: niet de meest spectaculaire outfits, maar ongelofelijk mooi gemaakt. Ik zou ze meteen in mijn kast willen.
Finally my personal favourites: not the most spectacular outfits, but beautifully made. I would really want these in my wardrobe.
