Let's clear the air with this one.

Lately i've been hearing a shit load about Couture. On T.V [Reitmans Commercial] and in Facebook names. Although the commercial humourously used the 'Haute Couture" statement in the correct form. There's no reason for it to be in someones facebook name. LOL. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and is sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time consuming, hand executed techniques. It is not your everyday article of clothing, you don't find these on the shelves of your nearest Macy's or Aritzia. The term is also used loosely to describe all high-fashion custom-fitted clothing, whether it is produced in Paris or in other fashion capitals such as Milan, Londonn, Romee, New Yorkk or Tokyo. Couture is everywhere, and it is not meant for everyday wear. Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominated designed and manufactured on a made-to-measureeor haute couturee basis (French for high-fashion), with the garment being created for a specific client.

That's my Lint. lesson for the week.
