Haute Couture
Learn the true meaning mystical-sounding Haute Couture! What does it mean?
- Prohibitively expensive fashion items?
- Carrying completely useless but the more spectacular fashion items?
- Overelaborated, unique, high-quality, rigorously hand-made unique pieces?
- French fashion designers’ abstract dress-poetry?
Well, yes. There are people who put it this way. In our reading however haute-couture is nothing more than:
Haute Couture features geometric shapes in honor of Art Deco, Cubism and Art Nouveau; bearing in mind the spirit of Haute Couture and expect the highest quality. Haute Couture cannot be further improved; it is for the sake of luxury. L’art pour l’art. The real brilliance is still present but is only available for the chosen ones.
