Dressmaking at its finest!
Haute Couture translated, means High Fashion. Originated in Paris, France by an English designer, Charles Fredrick Worth. He was recognized historically to have created the concept of Haute Couture. In 1858, the first couture house was introduced to the world of fashion, House of Worth. It simply means, one of a kind garments are constructed by fashion designers and skilled couturiers (Haute Couture, BoF, Fashion -az).
Designers that exhibit a standard of excellence in the tradition of couture and creativity, are chosen by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris to become members of this esteem organization ( Haute Couture, BoF, Fashion-as). Some members include Amir’s, Alexander McQueen, Ann Demeulemeester, Balenciaga, Celine, Chanel, Dior, Ellie Saab, Giambattista Valli, Giorgio Armani and Givenchy (fhem.paris).
Delicate, exquisite and luxurious fabrics are used to create beautiful one of a kind pieces. It’s time consuming due to the intricate details that can be part of each creation. Ideas are illustrated in a fashion sketch (Haute Couture, Wikipedia).
