Haute couture shows exist as a contrebalance for the ready-to-wear weeks, which are becoming more and more commercial and merchandized.
Designers still need a space where they can experiment, play, send messages to the world and perform without the contraints of the market.
Of course, they still need to sell, but, unlike the main lines, sales are not the only main goal here and the customers are not the same.
