Still, Josse ensures he has no intention to leave Haute Couture\u2014imagine the irony having just been upgraded by the Chambre Syndicale with an official seal:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a fight on a daily basis. For this reason, ready-to-wear is important for a serene future and for my professional growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stability it is, then.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now the prospect of an <em>haute couture<\/em> designer\u2014<em>un couturier\u2014<\/em>venturing into what is essentially an <em>entirely different world<\/em> is rendered equal parts excitement and skepticism. It&#8217;s like a shoe designer dabbling in dressmaking, a ballerina going into breakdance and street hip-hop\u2014an interesting change, but strange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the time it&#8217;s a bit of a flop: <strong>I&#8217;m a firm believer in sticking to what you (know you) do best<\/strong>. The <em>couturier<\/em> designs\u2014no, <strong>dreams<\/strong> up\u2014clothing for a character. Art comes to life draped across a breathing, lithe little thing, made mainly to be admired. Pr\u00eat-\u00e0-Porter is made to be worn. Literally, <em>ready to wear<\/em>. Ready to be thrown on if need be, to be <em><strong>lived in<\/strong><\/em>. Admiration is preferable, but not necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But press images from the first RTW collection are evidence that Josse is more than capable of bouncing between both worlds. He can conjure French fairytales in the same breath as creating a more practical version of his masterpieces. And while I adore the idea of a femme fatale\/Bond girl wardrobe, Josse&#8217;s spring collection sings to my feminine, girly, Francophile side. Maybe I&#8217;ve been reading too many novels of ex-pats in Paris. But can you imagine? A baguette poking out from a market bag under the arm, steaming the inside of the canvas and perfuming both the streets and the sides of her Josse dress? Every well-dressed French girl needs a fresh dose of carbs before doing whatever fabulous thing she has on her agenda. It comes with the territory, this carb addiction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The point is: the utter Frenchness of Josse, the brand, is indisputable. Ready-to-Wear it may be, but the slightest hint of true haute couture permeates into and exudes from the clothing. It reminds me of Chanel but less androgynous: younger, girlier and very, very feminine. It&#8217;s less urban Parisian and more French country\u2014there&#8217;s a certain charm of innocent insouciance about it all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">. \u00a0 . \u00a0 .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">xx<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>{source &amp; image <a title=\"WWD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wwd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.it\/en\/shows\/oddities\/2011\/06\/christophe-josse-ready-to-wear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via<\/a>}<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In January 2011, French designer Christophe Josse was awarded the official haute couture seal by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Fran\u00e7aise, French fashion&#8217;s governing body.
