Paris International Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show
Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive.
Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a city-wide basis and occurs twice a year. The main seasons of Fashion Week include, spring/summer, fall/winter, resort, swim and bridal.
One of the most spectacular events in the international fashion arena, the Paris Fashion Week is a unique amalgamation of style, creativity and the crème de la crème of the society.
