It turns out, although not as popular as runways shows intended to show off the latest so called “high fashion” pieces, Prêt-à-Porter (literally, “ready-to-wear”) shows are held every single year by most of the top brands in fashion. Said shows, meant to show off what’s going to be “hot” next season, invariably feature regular items of clothing and outfits mostly identical to what we, the customer, will eventually be able to buy in stores, or at least, some version of them. The fashion show pieces usually have a few minor alterations made to accentuate a given model’s figure, rather than being cut more generically for the average consumer.
