What We Love About Carven Pre-Spring 2012

Runway Review: The re-birth of a label with a limitless reach, what with it's friendlier price-points and ageless appeal. We've been big fans of designer Guillaume Henry's charmingly off-kilter bourgeois chic propositions at Carven ever since he took the reins of the quietly storied French maison two years ago. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews His first ever Carven Pre-Collection for Spring 2012 is packed with the kind of easily wearable and distinctively designed pieces that should take this label from the minor leagues to cult status without fail.

Best of Haute Couture Spring 2011

Runway Review: Paris Couture Fashion Week Givenchy, Bouchra Jarra, Valentino I don't if it's because of the mass appeal of Juicy Couture or simply the way its meaning evolves as it filters into mainstream vernacular, but "haute couture" although commonly perceived as a custom item of clothing of any sort or price, in actuality is a term protected by law and defined by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris with very specific rights.
