Distro - Paris Couture. 2001 

Martin Parr 

The Haute Couture shows in Paris attract big glamour and big money. Although the cost of the clothes is never spoken of (considered to be far too vulgar), the estimated cost is about £30,000 per outfit. As the ladies-who-buy assemble for their twice yearly shopping fest, Martin Parr is invited backstage to the inner sanctum. After the shows, the guests attempt to appear at the 'right' parties - preferably where Puff Daddy makes a special appearance as the DJ.
