Haute couture clothes are expensive and luxurious, in such dresses you will feel yourself like a Queen or one in a million girl. But, there is one more category - ready-to-wear clothes or more known to us as pret-a-porter clothing. More about them…

Modern fashion industry clothes can be divided into two main categories - “haute couture” and “ready-to-wear”. No doubts, couture fashion designers are very popular and are aimed only for extremely wealthy clients, moreover, in order to be able to produce “haute couture clothes” they have to get an official permission from the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture, it is based in Paris. Because of this agreement, designers have to show their collections twice a year and not less than 35 outfits in one collection. As a rule, these outfits are exposed in private salons.

As usual, one of my favourite blogs proposes answers on the necessary and urgent questions. Why? Because, a lot was written about this fall fashion, even more tips were given in order any of your to be stylish and glamorous, but, shame on me! I’ve forgotten about one of the most important details and without is you can’t be stylish and cool - tights, my dears. How stupid of me, yeah? Oversized sweaters, ankle-boots, secretary dresses and long, beautiful but shivering and chilly legs. A nice picture. So, now I want to say thank you to Couture In The City Blog and to pay your attention to the post about Wearing of Black Tights, Stockings and Hosiery.

Also, this week my curiosity was provoked with the unusual and glamorous photos. At the 1st sight, they seemed to be a little bit trite and even too appalling, but after some time I liked them and found them even wondrous. Look with your own eyes, am I right? The photos belong to Marilyn Minter and I found them here. Fashion Orgasm blog is a new discovery of this fall!

Dear fashion-lovers, can you tell me truth: do you like fashion weeks and various fashion shows? The same with me. And, no doubts, you’ve heard such a notion as haute couture? But, do you really know what does it mean? Well, I guess not everybody, because most of my friends, have a vague idea, what it means. Now, we all have a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with it a little bit closer.

So, to start with, let’s find out, what haute couture is.

Such a sophisticated phrase can be easily interpreted from French to English as HIGH FASHION. Actually, couture means to sew, to make clothes, to create things and haute is something that is elegant, excellent or high. Haute couture clothes are hand made by leading fashion houses. As a rule, each haute couture thing is made in a strict accordance with person shape and curves.
