Someone who does couture is a fashion designer or a couturier. The words couture and couturier are originally French, from their word for "sewing" but are also used in English. Couture refers only to fashion design for women. "Haute couture" means "high" couture, custom-made dresses made with extravagant fabrics and unique designs, to be worn only to the fanciest parties.
Many credit the late 1800s as being the beginning of fashion, namely haute couture, which was created by Charles Frederick Worth.
'Une couture' means a seam (of a dress for example), but 'la (haute) couture' means the art of creating fashion (in clothes).
The Coupe Couture fashion boutique is a store on wheels. They are located in Mastic, New York and cater to various home parties, where one would host a fashion sale.
All you have to do is simpily have a desire to sew, and create things. Many haute couture designers love high fashion. I, as a haute couture designer went to get a degree in fashion, and then I chose to start my businessat my house. I also hired other desingers to work with me to help me with my designing. That is just a simple I started my own haute couture line. actually haute cature or high sewing is a specific style of fashion design promienet to one part of Paris called Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris where designers are clothing lines are expected to meet certain standards as set out by the Chambre de commerce et d'industri de Paris to be actually classified as Haute Couture, so the member before me is actually not a proper haute couture designer and never will be unless he/she becomes a member of the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture, where by these member have to meet three standards to call themselves a couture house and use "Haute Couture" in their advertising

"Haute couture" means high-end fashion (often handmade or custom-fitted). A common adjective for such fashions is "designer" wear, but it can apply to a wide range of retail fashion as well.
There is no specific recorded evidence as to what specific year fashion modeling started. Many credit the late 1890s as the birth of haute couture, thanks to fashion designer Charles Frederick Worth.
