L'alta moda o haute couture è il settore dell'abbigliamento nel quale operano i creatori di abiti di lusso. In Italia l'alta moda è nata a Firenze, con la sfilata organizzata il 12 febbraio 1951 da Giovanni Battista Giorgini, presso la Villa Torregiani a Palazzo Pitti, alla presenza di numerosi compratori internazionali. Grazie a questo evento scoprirono l'eleganza "Made in Italy", che poteva vantare prezzi molto più competitivi della moda parigina.

Le sfilate dell'Haute Couture sono molto differenti da quelle del Pret A Porter! L'eleganza e le forme sono a volte portate all'eccesso, i tessuti sono preziosissimi, i volumi ultra chic, l'allure estrema. Sono abiti da favola, rivolti ad un'esclusiva clientela. A volte però le sfilate diventano dei veri e propri show, delle occasioni teatrali dove le passerelle si animano di donne lontanissime dal mondo reale. In tanti casi ho l'impressione che siano diventate solo un pretesto per stupire, una gara tra gli stilisti a chi supera in "spettacolo".
The parades of Haute Couture are very different from those of the Pret A Porter! The elegance and the shapes are sometimes taken to excess, the fabrics are precious, ultra chic volumes, allure. Fabulous dresses, are aimed at an exclusive clientele. Sometimes however the parades have become real show, theatrical opportunities where the catwalks come alive distant women from the real world. In many cases I get the impression that they become just an excuse to amaze, a race among the designers who excel in "show".
