The haute couture runway shows for Fall 2015- Paris, France
have finished for another season.
As expected, the presentations featured designs on the
ultimate level of fashion spectrum.
…
The term haute couture is French, translating to mean:
haute – high, elegant
couture – dress making, sewing.
Haute couture designs are bespoke pieces, which are:
works of fashion art and of singular beauty
with details of the avant garde
custom-made for individual clients
hand crafted and labour intensive
produced from the finest materials
accompanied by a price tag to match.
…
For a design house to be considered haute couture
it must be registered with the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture in Paris-
an association administered by the French Department of Industry.
During the 19th century, haute couture garments-
as symbols of high status,
were worn by ladies of the French elite.
After WWII, the haute couture industry was at the height of its glory.
Today, it comprises a small sector of the fashion industry
not a money-maker but continued as reverence for the past
and the element of associated prestige bestowed.
