there are two kinds of fashion: haute couture and pret-a-porter. may mga symbols sa taas ng letters pero siyempre tinatamad nako lagyan. pampaarte lang yun sakin. mga french talaga ang aarte. parang yung french fries. ayoko nun kasi maarte siya haha.
haute couture means high fashion. most people would think that anything that's sort of wearable na bonggang bongga ang level is haute couture. when you see an avant-garde piece you'd think, "ah that's haute!" but no, not necessarily. from wikipedia (i love wikipedia), it says there that haute couture
"refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. 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."
and the term could only be used by fashion houses that meet standards set by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris. Only those fashion houses who design made to order clothes, have a workshop that employs a certain number of workers and showcase their work every season through runway shows in paris can be called couture houses. haute couture is not too profitable. only about 7% of all fashion revenues are from haute couture. although it seems like a very glamorous career, the rich are still dressed by the poor. not very appealing to me.
pret-a-porter or ready-to-wear clothing are those that are made then hung on racks or placed on shelves. that's what you see at the boutiques you often visit during your weekends at the mall however bonggacious they may be, or not be.
wala lang. gusto ko lang i-share ^_^ haha
