This may be a stupid question, but noticing that NYFW is always criticized for lacking in creativity (at least compared to London, Milan, and Paris), what separates the people who churn out outrageous and unique aesthetics, to those who offer basics but of good quality? In other words...
What constitutes someone as a designer from a dressmaker?
Allow me to use Elie Saab as an example. A common criticism to him, especially on his haute couture, is that his collections are always the same: the usual array of red carpet gowns and dresses. While his craftsmanship and skills are unquestionable, what separates him from the usual dressmaker (aside from skill) if his designs are relatively the same?
