HAUTE COUTURE TODAY
- 'Haute couture' goes back several centuries, specifically the year 1868, when the needle artists came together to form the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, a body to regulate this business and today is encompassed within the Fédération Française de la Couture, du Prêt - à -Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, founded in 1973 and located at number 100 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré.The French Ministry of Industry and Fédération Française own the Couture are responsible to dictate what homes are termed 'haute couture'.The requirements are first: should create custom designs and offer several test sessions to ensure that clothes stay perfect. Moreover, firms have to have a workshop in Paris who works full time and has more than twenty employees. And finally, present two new collections a year, one in January and one in July, composed of both pieces for day and night.A collective known as 'les petite mains' is in charge of creating each piece by hand. A process in which they can get to invest hundreds of hours using the highest quality fabrics. It is not surprising, therefore, that the cheaper parts reach a price of several thousand euros. A value that increases in the number of craftsmen, time, design and materials used.Very expensive and unique pieces that just are handmade and custom and take months to be delivered.
The couture houses say the double-digit increase in sales is due to the arrival of a new consumer, largely from the technology industry.The tension between past and present is inevitable in a discipline that continues to identify the fifties as its golden age as care to remember an exhibition that will open on July 12 at the Galliera Museum in Paris. A decade which served as inspiration for Donatella Versace theoretical in their parade on Sunday. Although Versace also took the time reference with much freedom and ended up bringing the issue to his usual spot at the hands of corsets, leather and metal closures and gowns that bare legs to the limit.If you take the word 'couture' to the letter, its definition would be making exclusive pieces created customized. However, the label 'haute couture' involves much more than creating garments for a unique public alike; has become an art. Also fashion and technology have become good friends.

ANIMAL PRINT ALREADY INSTALLED
Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a Leopard, Cheetah, Zebra, Tiger, Spotted Hyena, Striped Hyena, African Wild Dog, Giraffe or monkey. Animal print is also used for handbags and footwear and even some jewelry. A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints today very often use fake fur instead of animal coat.
Animal prints have long been a popular style for many reasons. For one, they are generally expensive and considered rather exotic; hence they are a symbol of wealth and status. Throughout history, kings and other high people have used animal print rugs and such as a sign of status just as mounted animals are kept as trophies. Animal print became popular for women in the United States in the late 1960s.FASHION ARTICLES
Since the late twentieth century to today, flowing fashion has accelerated significantly, and in this fluxus designers find a field of work and experimentation, which can reach uncharted land for traditional fashion. Since 1970, the work of Japanese fashion designers have had a considerable impact on international clothing, bypassing the numerous inclusions "japonismos" who came to fashion in the second half of the nineteenth century and are perpetuated to this day. These Japanese worked in a wave of renewal that was initiated by Issey Miyake. They gave a new definition of what was then creativity, status and sexuality.
Miyake consider the most revered designer in Japan today. He knew how to apply the newborn in the plastic to the textile arts, and launched a deconstruction of the parameters with which they worked in the West postmodernism.
For Miyake the matter, quite simply, is what matters.
In the matter rest "authentic" forms of tissue, away from classical forms reproduced by sewing, seeking to enhance the typified human body. In opposition to this kind of fashion, Miyake seeks powers of tissues that are docked to the human figure.
Miyake wants to return to this first experiment where the fashion design moves away from the sculptural constructions that mimic the body.

THE INFLUENCE OF CINEMA IN FASHION
The film and fashion have always gone hand in hand and influenced each other from the beginning.
You could say that cinema was the gateway of fashion since World War II. Around 1914 Hollywood had its great boom and the film industry grew enormously. People needed distraction and started going more and more often to the movies, so Hollywood decided to create the so-called Star System, the "Star System".
The Stars were a mixture of actor and character admired and praised by the public and the female stars were converted in the canon to be followed by all women in the world. You could say that in the absence of walkways and models, actors and especially actresses, became a specie of Top models from the First World War until the 50s or even later.
The ladies had many feminine styles to follow completely different styles such was the thinness of the character of Audrey Hepburn who triumphed still very thin, too curvy Sophia Loren. Or the sensuality of Marilyn Monroe, in contrast to the disorder of Katherine Hepburn or Grace Kelly elegance. Those were the models for women, and the most important and relevant designers of this époque had the ability to dress those “cinema stars” by that time. Being the screen of the cinema such a runway can be today.
