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.
