Will luxury survive the year 2000? Yes, judging by the incredible prestige enjoyed by haute couture outside France. Haute couture, unrivalled and inaccessible, continues to fascinate. Naturally, one could deplore the fact that, today, it is an art whose style is orientated towards the past when its foremost aim is to act as a creative laboratory. All one can do is measure the changes from one age to the next: "I used my talent as one uses explosives," Chanel once stated.
