What is High Fashion?
The phrase “high fashion” refers to the most luxurious, elegant and expensive clothing and accessories from
top
fashion
designers. This American term comes from a common French expression, “Haute Couture,” which has the
same meaning.
High-fashion clothing is typically custom-made women’s clothing.
What is Commercial Fashion?
Commercial fashion can simply be classified as the everyday fashion, a representation of a more approachable
and
realistic look.
It encompasses all other types of clothings including official / formal or unofficial / informal, e.g.,
suits,
fitness clothings, lingerie and party wears and so on.
What is Alternative Fashion?
Alternative fashion or Alt fashion is fashion that stands apart from mainstream commercial fashion.
Alternative
fashion includes the fashions of specific subcultures such as emo, scene, goth subculture, hip hop,
cyberpunk,
kawaii,
cottagecore, goblincore, 70's core, and Lolita fashion; however, it is not limited to these. In general,
alternative,
or 'alt', fashion does not conform to widely popular style trends of the times that have widespread
popularity.
It may exhibit itself as a fringe style – extremely attention-grabbing and more artistic than practical –
but it
can
also develop from anti-fashion sentiments that focus on simplistic utilitarian drives (e.g.: grunge fashion,
which
was largely based around comfort and availability).
