The word "couture" gets thrown around quite a bit, but in reality it's a
term reserved for a rarity of occasions. Haute Couture is a name protected by the Paris Chamber of Commerce
and limited to a select group who qualify for the distinction. Which is

exciting period! Houses including Chanel, Giambattista Valli, and Elie Saab
(as shown from left to right) create spectacles with ornate and
intricate hand-stitched made-to-order work. So what techniques in
particular should you be looking out for on the runways? Find out— and
zoom in on all the embellishments — in the gallery!
