The difference between couture and regular runway clothing is that
couture is "made to measure," i.e. not mass-produced for stores. If
someone likes a couture dress from a fashion show, she can go
custom-order it. Otherwise, she won't just find it sitting on a rack in
Saks or Neiman Marcus.
But there is one other way of attaining a
couture item: Be Lady Gaga. The singer sat front row at her pal
Donatella Versace's latest couture show in Paris on Sunday... and by
Tuesday, she already owned an entire outfit from the collection. 
Vogue UK reports that Gaga borrowed one of Versace's fur outfits with a mesh hood
to wear to a post-show dinner on Sunday, after which she "asked (quite
politely, we're sure), if she could retain the one-of-a kind item. And
Versace allowed her to."
Keep in mind: Typical Versace Couture outfits can cost
anywhere between $19,000 and $125,000. But Gaga knows how to pull off
the perfect Couture Week shopping trip: Just ask to keep it all for
free. Could anyone else make this happen?
