Haute Couture refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing.

The luxury of this trade is that the most experienced and talented seamstresses construct each garment by hand from start to

2.) The fashion house must have an atelier in Paris employing at least fifteen people.
3.) Each season the fashion house must present a collection to the Paris press.
