Women's Haute Couture is relatively expensive & highly fashionable clothes, footwear or accessories produced by leading fashion houses. Can any fashion
designer produce haute couture fashion? Sorry, the
answer would be "no". It is a short and very specific list of
fashion designers that can create true "haute couture".
In France, the term haute couture is protected by law and is defined by
the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris based in Paris. The
chambre syndicale de la haute couture is defined as "the regulating
commission that determines which fashion houses are eligible to be true
haute couture houses". Their rules state that only "those companies
mentioned on the list drawn up each year by a commission domiciled at the
Ministry for Industry are entitled to avail themselves" of the label haute
couture. The words haute couture is French for "high sewing" or "high
dressmaking" or "high fashion". More specifically, "Couture"
translates literally from French as "dressmaking" but may also refer to
fashion, sewing, or needlework. "Haute" translates literally to
"high".
Women's haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted
clothing. Haute couture is high-end fashion that is constructed by
hand from start to finish, made from high-quality, expensive, often
unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by
the most experienced and capable sewers - often using time-consuming,
hand-executed techniques.
