Haute Couture
Haute couture is the result of jousting between couturiers and haberdasheries in the 19th century.
Until 1848, the reins of fashion were firmly maintained by an aristocratic and royal clientele. The workers at this time represent only simple labor imprisoned in a workshop meeting the demanding needs of this family. The diktats of fashion come from the higher power that inspires the fashion press of the time granting no autonomy to these manufacturers. The mercer came to meet them with a fabric previously chosen by the client – their commander pulled together the latest model in fashion.
Haute couture stands out and succeeds in differentiating itself from the medium and small seams insofar – this legally protected term Haute Couture connotes the idea of creativity and follows strict rules that are difficult to respect.
Haute couture is a laboratory where anything is allowed: the couturiers express their artistic talent and avant-garde. The most iconic Haute Couture designers are Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli, Paul Poiret, Hubert de Givenchy, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferre, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano.

High fashion
High fashion is a high-quality sewing art and the highest segment of the fashion market, representing exclusive models produced by the most famous designers and fashion houses.
All models are sewn to the order of the client according to individual standards. This is done manually with special attention to various details. Production requires the work of professionals of the highest level and takes a lot of time. Only very wealthy people can afford to order a high fashion dress. The cost of such clothes can exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars. High fashion has more attributes than regular fashion and high fashion attributes are set to the standard, unlike general fashion. General fashion attributes are not as good as for advanced as High fashion.
