There are three main categories of fashion design, although these may be split up into

additional, more specific categories:

Haute couture

The type of fashion design which predominated until the 1950s was "made-to-measure" or

haute couture, (French for high-fashion). The term made-to-measure may be used for any

garment that is created for a specific client. Haute couture, however, is a protected term which

can only be officially used by companies that meet certain well-defined standards set by the

Chambre Syndicale de la Couture. Nonetheless, many ready-to-wear, and even mass market

labels, claim to produce haute couture, when in fact, according to established standards, they do

not. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is usually made from

high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-

consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and

the time it takes to make.

Ready-to-wear

Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not

made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes

are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive. Ready-to-

wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season during a period known as

Fashion Week. This takes place on a city-wide basis and occurs twice per year.


11/14

Mass market

Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The

mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear

clothes in large quantities and standard sizes. Cheap materials, creatively used,

produce affordable fashion. Mass market designers generally adapt the trends

set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make

sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the

original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and

simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end

product can therefore be sold much more cheaply.
