Not being fashionable, Connie, I think that stuff is like concept cars. But I could be wrong.

What is the time frame between showing things on the catwalk to maximum publicity and selling things for actual use?
The lead time is to allow for orders. Designers show their pieces, and then produce what's ordered by different departments stores and retailers. Time has to be built in to do that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I imagine magazine leadtimes figure in too, no?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is "haute couture" custom made to the wearer? And "couture" just really good stuff you can get in fancy stores? As I said, I am fashion clueless.

"Ready to wear" is the "designer" stuff sold in stores.
The fashion looks shown now will also influence mass market stuff - colors, shapes, etc., are being watched by the people who design stuff for Gap, Old Navy, H&M, etc. and are starting their spring collections.

Huh, I didn't know there was such a lead time, though that makes sense.
