The Good the “Bad,” and the Lovely- Snippets from SS20 Haute Couture Week

Why should you care about haute couture you ask? Because it’s an expression of talent, given by God to fashion designers. The Bible tells us that God, amongst many of His talents, is a fashion designer too. He designed Adam and Eve’s covering in the garden, and Revelation 4 tells us he has a robe, whose train takes up the throne room of Heaven. Paris’ SS20 Haute Couture week is a an expression of design talent from the thousands of hours of bead work, embroidery, cutting, and stitching that an atelier engages in to produce a collection. The SS20 season was dominated by the Lebanese, who are exceptionally talented in couture, and who created the baddest of the baddest pieces
