The thing about Haute Couture is that it takes a lot of time. That’s sort of the whole premise: The hours of handiwork to make all these dresses and gowns and frippery justifies the cost (and the glamour).

Francesc Planes zipped to shows by Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier (as well as Saint Laurent’s menswear runway) to capture the people setting the pulse in Paris.
