Haute Couture has always been considered the realm of fashion. Maison Chanel on Rue Cambon and Jean Paul Gaultier on Rue Saint Martin constitute some of the cornerstones of French fashion, which remains until today an unprecedented form of art.

Written by Désirée Sadek, Inside Haute Couture features exclusive photographs by Guillaume de Laubier. This book offers an insight on 10 French fashion empires. The splendor of VIP reception rooms and the privacy of couture ateliers are showcased in this work to highlight the daily lives of Haute Couture’s most renowned figures, along with their talented artisans and magnificent creations.

This world, which is often closed to the public, comes to light in a book that depicts the beauty of Haute Couture and its exceptional heritage.
