I totally agree...I never really "got" the concept of couture until I watched an episode of America's Top Model during their first season when Tyra explained to the girls exactly what it was, why it was different, and why it was so expensive.
I think the reason real, true, French Couture doesn't go over well here in the states is because it IS out there..but if I were French and lived in France, and you grew up seeing the super-wealthy dress like that for functions, I might feel different. Otherwise, it looks more like a costume.
I'm a huge Valentino fan....that show he did on Oprah awhile back...every single dress took my breath away...talent doesn't even begin to describe him.
