| Fashion is an art reflecting life. Now and again we hear the names of Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne, Denim Paul Gautier, Giorgio Armani etc. There designers have a great influence on our hair styles, how we dress up, the way we put on makeup and even behave. Every season fashion designers determine our choices of clothing. A fashion calendar includes several very crucial events which are called fashion weeks. Fashion weeks are organized every season for fashion designers to exhibit their latest collections in runway shows and for fashion to view the latest trends. The most important thing is that they display the industry what is in and what is out for the season. The most impressive fashion weeks are organized in the fashion capitals, including Milan, London, New York and Paris where luxury clothes (also known as haute couture) are displayed. Haute Couture is a French phrase for expensive and fashionable clothes designed for ladies. Couture means dressmaking, sewing, or needlework, whereas haute stands for sophisticated. Haute couture garments are made for a particular customer from high-quality, expensive fabrics and sewed by hand normally deploying time-consuming techniques. Therefore, couture items are luxurious and chic. Depending on the haute couture fashion house and the garment, the price of a couture item varies from $10, 000 for a blouse to $40, 000 and usually beyond that sum. The cost is so high because of service, work, an exclusive design and superb materials of the finest quality. In addition, every client will get a garment to fit them perfectly. It takes around 100-150 hours to produce a handmade suit and up to 1000 hours for an embellished evening dress with thousands of beads sewed by hand. A haute couture house like Chanel, for instance, will have around 150 regular clients ordering luxury items, and a couture house like Dior will make about twenty luxury wedding gowns annually Couture houses use only expensive luxurious fabrics, including expensive silks, fine wools, cashmeres, cottons, linens, leather, suede and furs. Alongside clothes, famous couture houses make exclusive luxurious accessories, including hats, buttons, belts, gems, shoes, handbags. Those who can afford luxury items are happy to pay for exclusivity and the privacy guaranteed by the system. |
