In 2002 galliano decided that he was going to take Dior
Couture House in to the 21st century, kicking and screaming, if need
be. The old era of couture needed updating and some of the older, dustier ideas
needed putting to sleep. Galliano believed that Couture needed and indeed had
the potential to evolve in what was then the modern MTV generation of society.

Couture' with Colin McDowell

This new couture has
been happening, which has really started as well with people like Mr Arnault
putting younger designers in these houses, or Jean Paul Gaultier who started a
couture line. Thierry Mugler was even mixing couture and prêt-a-porter
together, so it does have relevance today.
Galliano believed that
the couture house was there to inspire the other houses under the Dior
umbrella, so maybe some of the designers rely on their couture collection to
inspire their ready-to-wear collection and perhaps without the couture journey
the others roads will not be taken and the other collections could not and
would not be as inspirational as they are.
