Surviving two world wars and global recessions, maisons, their creative directors and their teams around the world are adapting to the inevitable changes in fashion brought on by the pandemic. French Haute Couture maisons, Dior and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julienfournie.com\/en\/house-julien-fournie-haute-couture-paris\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1014\">Julien Fourni\u00e9<\/a> Couture, and British Couture house Ralph &amp; Russo are proof that couture is still relevant and will carry on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paris based Haute couturier Julien Fourni\u00e9, is a member of the\u00a0F\u00e9d\u00e9ration<em>\u00a0<\/em>and he upholds his maison to the highest of standards, as well as to French couture excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cHaute Couture is to fashion what art is to decoration\u201d <\/p><cite>Julien Fourni\u00e9<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Haute Couture it\u2019s not just fashion, it\u2019s art and it\u2019s long lasting<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s so bespoke that if two women order the same dress, he will tweak them both so that no two dresses are the same.
