Haute Couture- originally referred to French fashion and in France it is a "protected name" that can be used only by firms that meet certain well-defined standards. However, the term is also used to describe all high-fashion custom-fitted clothing, whether it is produced in Paris or in other fashion capitals such as New York, London, Tokyo.
Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
