Couture Fashions
Couture Fashions are a very exclusive area of the fashion industry and the majority of people cannot afford to own them. However, for those who can afford this luxury it is a very special part of their fashion wardrobe. The word couture is French and is used to describe apparel that is created by top designers for exclusive clientele. Fashion shows are held in the fashion centres around the world to display and sell the designs. Highly paid models are seen wearing the fashions and presenting them at these shows while fashion photographers, buyers from exclusive boutiques and celebrities watch from the audience. The biggest semi-annual event in couture is called Fashion Week where design houses show off their collections.
In the United States and Europe there are a number of top designers whose names are recognised world wide. They include Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Versace to name just a handful. These designers create custom apparel and accessories that are expensive and exclusive. You will see stars like Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie walking the red carpet in gowns by some of these designers and various others. Celebrities have stylists who work with the designers to acquire the fashions for their clients and choose what the look they wish to achieve.
Couture Fashions are not only for celebrities. The wealthy high society crowd may not have their names in the tabloids or be seen in the movies but they can afford couture. For example they may regularly carry the latest Louis Vuitton purse and wear Chanel suits. Or they may enjoy a casual lunch at the country club dressed in a Ralph Lauren ensemble with a Balenciaga bag. Even sunglasses have gone couture with top shades selling for hundreds of dollars or even more.
Maybe you cannot afford to own a full wardrobe of couture fashion articles but would very much like to then don't despare there are ways in which you can own a piece or two without breaking the bank. Believe it or not, Ebay is a good place to find secondhand designer fashions at a reduced price. Use caution and only deal with reputable sellers when shopping for couture on this auction site. There are plenty of authentic pieces, but there are also lots of fakes that look exactly like the real thing. Always read fine print, ask the seller any questions you may have and watch out for prices that are too good to be true before bidding.
