The full name for Haute Couture is "Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture."
The concept of Haute Couture in France began to take shape in the seventeenth century and was officially born in 1858.
Since the 1980s, the term Haute Couture has been abused worldwide.
Nowadays, there are many relatively junior designer brands in China that frequently claim to offer Haute Couture and often host so-called Haute Couture fashion shows.
However, true "aristocratic" Haute Couture, as things stand, is something no brand in China has yet achieved.
It takes more than just a bit of hype and selling clothes at a higher price to become Haute Couture.
The conditions for obtaining Haute Couture certification are quite stringent:
1. You must have a studio in Paris with at least 15 full-time employees.
2. You must participate in the Haute Couture fashion week held in Paris every January and July, presenting at least thirty-five original pieces each season, including day and evening wear.
