haute couture

"A model must both maintain and surprise,alexander wang sale. As a garment, it observes certain rules; as a dress, it transgresses them with insolence. It allows audacity within tradition."

The term model is used above not to describe a woman wearing the clothes on the runway, but a replica of the garment cut from cotton cloth. Haute couture deals in millimeters-- everything is measured so that the fabric hangs correctly and follows the contours of the body perfectly without hugging it. The goal is effortless perfection, reflected in hundreds of hours of work-- shown in the prices,http://bt.dev.drupal.vc/node/1198111, from about $20,http://silkroadinfo.cn/bbs//read.php?tid=399087,000 USD for a suit to $80,Alexander Wang Kirsten Black Suede Clutch [Alexander Wang Clutches 003] Alexander Wang Boots Alexander Wang Clutches Alexander Wang Hobo Bags Alexander Wang Sandals Alexander Wang Shoulder Bags Classics Alexander Wang Bag Alexander Wang Flats ,000 USD for an evening gown.

This is not about impossible standards, it is not about fashion in the 'fitting people into molds and trends' sense: It's about making something from scratch to emphasize the individual.

Much like many other pinnacles of French culture, "haute couture" is a legal "designation". "Only those companies mentioned on the list drawn up each year by a commission domiciled at the Ministry for Industry are entitled to avail themselves thereof," (Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture),http://42.121.118.204/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=112459&extra=.

In the year 1945 the main criteria were made law. The criteria were updated in the year 1992. Specifically, the most recent criteria are as follows:

(a) "to employ a minimum of fifteen people at the workshops"; (b) "to present to the press in Paris each season (spring/summer and autumn/winter) a collection of at least thirty-five runs consisting of models for daytime wear and evening wear."
