HAUTE COUTURE/ALTA MODA
Haute couture ("high sewing" or "high dressmaking" or "high fashion") is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is high-end fashion that is constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking" but may also refer to fashion, sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit.
Haute translates literally to "high". A 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.
L'alta moda o Haute couture è il settore dell'abbigliamento nel quale operano i creatori di abiti di lusso.
Il settore ruota attorno a varie case di moda, alcune delle quali assai antiche, conosciute grazie a marchi ben pubblicizzati presso il grande pubblico. In ognuna di queste case lavorano grandi stilisti, disegnatori eaddetti al marketing. Essi propongono le loro innovative creazioni per mezzo di sfilate di moda aperte alla stampa e ai compratori (buyers), con l'intento di anticipare le tendenze della moda. Alcune case d'alta moda sono proprietarie di marchi secondari dedicati ai settori del prêt-à-porter e degli accessori.
