"Haute Couture"

Hi, readers today I'm going to discuss "Haute Couture". What is it? glad you asked, the term refers to "High Fashion". The true definition is" 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." There are series of criteria when it come to "Haute Couture" that was made in 1945, and updated in 1992.
Some criteria are: 

• Have a workshop in Paris that employs at least 15 staff members full time.
• Every season, present a collection of at least 50 original designs to the public, day and evening garments, in January and July of each year.

 According to multiple fashion websites it takes anywhere from 100-700 hours to create one "Haute Couture" dress, evidently it's time consuming. Due to the incredible amount of time it takes to make haute couture pieces, it is not cheap. The garments can go anywhere from 10,000-100,000. With prices that high the market isn't big. It was reported that about 2,000 women world wide buy haute couture, and only 200 of them are regular buyers. 
                                                  Well that is all for today, thanks for reading! Bye.
