So, Ive been doing a little research about Haute Couture, and the fashion shows put on by Gucci, Chanel, etc. Can someone please explain in their own words how Haute Couture originated and some of its characteristics. (in your own words please.)

What do you think will be the lasting impact that reality tv has on the humanities and how we see ourselves as humans? based on what you learned about the theater (which was not always considered high art) in this week's readings, what may be some future similarities and differences between reality tv and the theater?
