Stunning haute couture dresses and other attributes of social life turned into the secret dream of every girl. High fashion is more than just sewing fashionable clothes. This is an art whose works are sometimes more expensive than a yacht or a house on Rublevka.
Why haute couture?
This concept is translated from French as “high sewing”. That is, tailoring of the highest quality. Everything began in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, when the first sewing salons and fashion houses began to appear.
Today, an outfit can rightfully be considered haute couture if it is almost completely hand-made, if fabrics created specifically for it are used, if it is sewn by individual order, by individual standards, in a single copy, if it is produced by a fashion house that has a certificate of the Paris Syndicate haute couture. A similar creation is inherited, it is shown at exhibitions, placed in galleries.
