Hello!
We are a declared association whose name is LE HUITIÈME ART (THE EIGHTH ART).
We are registered in France with SIREN identifier 929 041 184.
We proclaim with reason and joy that
Haute Couture, this Parisian exception and excellence, is the eighth art.
To quote Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux in The Poetic Art of 1674:
what we conceive well is stated clearly, and the words to say it come easily.
The 8 major arts which encompass the most prestigious and valued disciplines in the art world are like the primary colors.
Two primary colors mixed together produce a secondary color while mixing a secondary color and a primary color produces a tertiary color.
It is the same with the major Arts.
They alone allow you to create all possible and imaginable shades and forms of art.
Thus, a so-called “major” art serves as a basis for creating all other arts.
Ultimately, Haute Couture triumphantly closes the 8 major arts.
