Haute couture is a French word for ‘high dressmaking’. The word haute couture refers to fashion that is created to be exclusive and trend setting. At times, people use the term as a label for fine art and music. Haute couture has influenced the world tremendously, with the clothes, accessories, and style. It has contributed culture to or society and to the photography world.
In society today, haute couture garments are made by hand that is fitted for just a specific person. When looking at haute couture clothing line, it is very elegant and extravagant. At times, it may also be over the top; something that you would not see someone wear during their everyday life. The people that do wear it are people from the upper class. The upper class can afford these expensive garments. Also, you can see haute couture on the runways. Majority of the runways are in Paris , New York Milan London Tokyo Madrid
In the photography, haute couture is very important. Fashion Photographers are surrounded by haute couture. During fashion shows, hundreds of photographers surround the runways to capture a glimpse of the next trend setting style. Once captured it is sent to magazines to display to the whole world what is hot this season. In my opinion, haute couture garments is a great opportunity to shoot creatively. Haute couture garments are made with the finest materials, and have that fine art quality to them. I want the opportunity to shoot haute couture garments on models, and shoot them dramatically. I want to capture the uniqueness of the garment while I artistically shoot in different angle and odd poses.
Overall, haute couture is a huge impact not only to the fashion world, but also to the photography world.
