The upcoming haute couture week in Paris is expected to be very short on shows.

Emanuel Ungaro and Donatella Versace have announced in unison that they are not going to present their collections at the show, which is scheduled for July 6-9. The announcement followed the announcement by Givenchy that the famous French house would not be participating in the same ill-fated week, as no worthy replacement for Julien Macdonald had yet been found. Rumors immediately spread that the master Valentino would most likely ignore Paris.

Pierre Berge, a long-term partner and ally of Yves Saint Laurent, sarcastically noted that this is a continuation of the trend that Saint Laurent started. Recall that following the departure of the great Laurent from the world of couturier, the house of Thierry Mugler, Lanvin and Nina Ricci abandoned the creation of models for the Paris week and switched to cosmetic products and accessories.

Nevertheless, participation in Couture Week is the dream of any talented fashion designer. Yesterday it became known that Imitation of Christ is going to somehow fill in the gaps in Paris. At least the famous American label designer Tara Subkoff sent a letter to all her clients about her plans to move to Paris for a week. True, Tara will succeed only if there is a kind money-bag willing to sponsor her promising project.

And yet we hope that Paris Haute Couture Week will not disappoint the expectations of its many fans and admirers. There will be something to see and show to Kleo readers.
