Couture is a summons. In a sartorial landscape largely preoccupied with meeting the moment, the painstaking detail and elaborate design of the craft conjure up an altogether different world—one marked by the flash of high drama, the rustle of sumptuous fabrics, and the pursuit of the extraordinary. In these pages, the best of the season’s couture pieces beckon.
