In my opinion Riccardo Tisci is the best couturier alive...also the prices are very high, over $1 for some pieces.
For several seasons now Riccardo Tisci has reverted to showing his haute couture pieces in the static presentations that he first explored at the beginning of his tenure at Givenchy. And thank goodness he does, because how else to admire the nuances of construction and embellishment that make his exquisite creations such tour de force examples of couture that breaks boundaries while drawing on the great techniques of the past? Take this angelic creation: hand-cut mille-feuille discs of silk tulle sewn in artful formation over a diaphanous dress to suggest a benign reptile or a stork’s furling wings. Even the zip fastener is finished with a handcrafted baroque toggle.

GIVENCHY Summer 2011 Couture : 2000 hours of cutting + 4000 hours of sewing
166 days + 332 days (1 day = 12 working hours)
Maybe only 200+400 hours? Probably that man is idiot.
