Haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted high-endfashion design that is constructed by hand from start-to-finish.
Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Paris became the centre of a growing industry that focused on making outfits from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable of sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and can often refer to the same thing in spirit.
Haute translates literally to "high".

An haute couture garment is always made for an individual client, tailored specifically for the wearer's measurements and body stance.
Considering the amount of time, money, and skill allotted to each completed piece, haute couture garments are also described as having no price tag: budget is not relevant.
In modern France, haute couture is a protected name that may not be used except by firms that meet certain well-defined standards.
