Haute couture is the creation of impeccable, custom-fitted high-end fashion design that today is partially constructed by hand and often utilizes other handmade, one-of-a-kind embellishments, notions and trimmings. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Charles Frederick Worth made a name for himself dressing the then French Empress Eugenie and placed himself at the centre of an industry that grew out of traditional French dressmaking whose focus on making outfits from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric were best solidified in the 17th and 18th Centuries at the courts of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI.. Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and can often refer to the same thing in spirit. Haute translates literally to "high".
