If you are told "Fashion Week", you think fashion, parades, fashion houses, stylist,                   mannequins, affluence in front of the fashion shows and street style. Ready-to-wear,                 haute couture, accreditations, major parades, minor parades ... it is true that there is                   something to lose his Latin!


What is Fashion Week?
    Fashion Week - or fashion week - is a week dedicated to fashion, during which fashion designers and fashion houses present their new collections of ready-to-wear and haute couture via parades.

    The Fashion Week takes place twice a year: the winter collections are presented in February-March, the summer collections in September-October.
     Four cities host Fashion Week for 4 consecutive weeks, always in the same order: New York opens the ball. Next comes London Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.


     What is the difference between haute couture fashion shows and ready-to-wear fashion shows?
     We can distinguish ready-to-wear fashion shows and haute couture fashion shows. Note that Paris is the only city that presents haute couture shows.
      As the name suggests, ready-to-wear is immediately marketable, with a few details. As a result, the majority of the fashion show ready-to-wear shows from Fashion Week are sold 6 months later in the shop.
      In contrast, Haute Couture is not always marketed. Designed for a much more exclusive clientele (a few hundred around the world), it serves as a showcase and a playground for dressmakers.

      Which creators parade?
      The luxury ready-to-wear brands and the big fashion houses of each country. In Paris, we find for example Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Balmain, Vuitton ...
                  It is not uncommon to see little lesser-known creators take advantage of the aura of Fashion Week to organize their presentations on the margins of the great parades.
