What A Haute Couture Client Wears to Paris Fashion Week

For nearly the last 10 years, Christine Chiu has been a fixture at the Haute Couture shows in Paris. From Armani to Dior, the Los Angeles resident makes big-ticket purchases for her closet whether that's a custom gown or exquisite high jewelry. However, this season, her approach to her front-row style was a little different than usual. Normally she'd wear a couture look purchased from the previous season's shows, but since she took a year off during her pregnancy and birth of her first child, she had to get creative with off-the-rack options. She never wears the same couture look twice! With each look this season (and yes she changes for every show), Chiu endeavored to elaborate on the collaboration and continuity between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ designers within a house (big changes at Chanel and Schiaparelli) and to propose a dialogue between the luxury house’s ready-to-wear and haute couture collections.
