HAUTE COUTURE
HAUTE COUTORE IS A PHRASE FROM THE FRENCH MEANING 'HIGH FASHION'. THE TERM HAUTE IN GENERAL MEANS HIGH IN TERMS OF ELEGENCY...OR ROYALTY. COUTORE REFERS TO THE ACTUAL CRAFT OF SEWING, DRESS MAKING, AND DESIGNING. THE HIGH COST OF HAUTE COUTURE GOWNS, AND CLOTHING LEAVES PEOPLE QUESITIONING THE REASONING BEHIND A CHANEL FROCK THAT RETAILS AT $2500 DOLLARS, OR A OSCAR DE LA RENTA GOWN VALUED AT $10,000..
VIRTUALLY EVERY COUTURE PIECE IS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CLIENT PURCHASING IT. THIS UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND FEEL EXPLAINS THE HIGH COST. NOT TO MENTION THE EXPENSIVE MATERIALS THAT MAKE UP THESE PIECES. FROM FURS, TO IMPORTED SILKS, TO THE GAUTIEST FURS...HAUTE COUTURE'S JOB IS TO MAKE THE CLIENT THE TALK OF THE SHOW.....AND DOES SO AS SHOWN IN THE BELOW PIECES:
