From what I've seen, I do believe Haute Couture is a dying art. Fast, cheap fashion is taking over because it enables consumers to keep up with the rapidly changing trends and styles. Plus, high fashion is less expected of women than it has been before. For example, people pay more attention to the first lady than who she's wearing, but what she says. As women become more and more valued in the working world, they have other things to worry about and spend their money on than fashion. Also, with the new wave of young celebrities taking over pop culture, people pay very little to wealthy socialites anymore. These socialites are the ones who usually buy in to haute couture, whereas the new tastemakers prefer streetwear brands for their day to day.
