Definition (true use, beginning of, origins) of Haute Couture?
I know what it means. I'm looking for the origins of use. Who coined the phrase, who first started using it. Any History appreciated.
It is French and has come to indicate the bussiness of designing, making of womens clothes! To be called a haute couture house, a business must belong to the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture in Paris, which is regulated by the French Department of Industry. The syndicate has about 18 members, including such fashion giants as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Pierre Cardin. The houses generate more than $1 billion in annual sales and employ close to 5,000 people, including 2,200 seamstresses. During fashion's "golden age," after World War II, some 15,000 women wore couture. Socialites such as the Duchess of Windsor, Babe Paley, and Gloria Guiness would order whole collections at a time.
