Fashion is a form of self-expression and
autonomy at a particular period and place and in a specific context, of
clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body
posture. The term implies a look defined by the fashion industry as that
which is trending.
Haute Couture is the creation of exclusive
custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is high-end-fashion design 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 of sewers—often
using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", sewing, or
needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture
and can often refer to the same thing in spirit. haute translates
literally to "high". An haute couture garment is always made for an
individual client, tailored specifically for the wearer's measurements
and body stance.
