FASHION is an art that reflects life. Every now and then we hear the names of Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani etc. There designers influence our hair styles, the way we wear things, the way we put on makeup and even our habits. Every season gurus of fashion determine our choices of clothing. There are several very important events in the fashion calendar known as fashion weeks. Fashion weeks are held each season for fashion designers to demonstrate their latest collections in runway shows and for customers to take a look at the latest trends. Most importantly, they show the industry what is in and what is out for the season. The most significant fashion weeks are arranged in the fashion capitals, including Milan, London, New York and Paris where luxury clothes (also known as haute couture) are demonstrated. Haute Couture is a French word combination for expensive and fashionable clothes designed for women. Couture denotes dressmaking, sewing, or needlework and haute means refined. Haute couture items are made for a particular customer from high-quality, expensive fabrics and sewn by hand commonly deploying time-consuming techniques. This is why, couture garments are luxurious and exclusive. Depending on the haute couturier and the garment, the price of a couture item runs from $10, 000 for a blouse to $40, 000 and often beyond that figure. The price is so high because of service, work, an exclusive design and premium-class fabrics of the finest quality. Besides, every customer will get a garment to fit them ideally. It takes approximately 100-150 hours to make a handmade luxuty suit and up to 1000 hours for an embellished evening dress with thousands of beads sewed by hand. A couture house like Chanel, for instance, will have about 150 regular customers ordering couture items, and a couture house like Dior will make around 20 luxury wedding gowns yearly Couture houses use only expensive luxurious fabrics, including expensive silks, fine wools, cashmeres, cottons, linens, leather, suede and furs. Apart from clothes, well-known fashion houses make chic luxurious accessories, such as hats, buttons, belts, gems, footwear, handbags. Those who can afford luxury clothes, pay for exclusivity and the privacy guaranteed by the system.
