| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. While most of today's fashion is designed with mass market potential, haute couture designers showcase their individual designers for one piece at a time. Based on the French royal court fashion, haute couture has come to represent exclusive fashion designs. This book looks at the fashion culture at the turn of the 20th century, the fashion and social influences on haute couture and designers who are known best for haute couture design.
