stay Garment industry In general, most people are easily dressed by some common names. Senior ready-made garments In fact, there is a unified concept behind these names.

　 　 Ready-made clothes (Garments), A product that is produced in batches in accordance with certain specifications and standard sizes. clothes It is a concept relative to tailoring and self-made clothes. Ready-made garments, as industrial products, conform to the economic principles of mass production, mechanization of production, serialization of product size, quality standardization, packaging unification, and identification of brand, fabric composition, size and washing and maintenance instructions.

　　 Haute Couture It is a genuine French quintessence. Since its birth in 1858, the French custom tailored garment has a history of more than 150 years.

In 1858, Charles Frederick Worth first introduced the concept of design to the fashion industry, and opened a personal clothing store named "Top dress" in Paris. This is the first advanced custom clothing store in history. For the first time, Worth appeared as a designer rather than a traditional tailor. When his design was favored by the queen of France, he became famous. Royal aristocrats from all over the world are eager to pay for the high price of clothing, and are proud of the clothes designed by Worth.

In 1868, the French Advanced Custom Service Federation was formally established.

The authoritative organization of the first senior uniform designer in Paris, that is, the current senior custom costume Federation, has strictly stipulated the scale, technical conditions and details of the conference. After a hundred years, Paris's advanced custom clothing stores still abide by these traditions.

　　 Haute Couture must satisfy four conditions at the same time. :

First, a studio in Paris can participate in the two women's clothing exhibition held in January and July each year by the senior uniform uniforms Association.

Second, at least 75 or more designs should be completed by the chief designer.

Third, employing more than 3 full-time models throughout the year.

Fourth, the number of clothes for each style is very few and basically finished by hand.

After the above conditions are met, the French Ministry of industry will be approved by the Ministry of industry before it can be named "Haute Couture".

Since 1945, the French government has set a series of standards for the industry. Finally, only 20 companies such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and so on have obtained the advanced customization service qualification.

　　 Customized process:

Designers create according to their unique needs.

Customize the model according to the size of the customer, and stereotactic the model with the embryo cloth.

The printer makes cardboard patterns from cardboard.

The chief sewing machine uses the embryo cloth to make the sample clothing, the customer tries on and carries on the revision.

The tailor is tailored and tailored with selected fabrics.

The details should be modified and adjusted when fitting. A suit should be tried at least 3 times to complete.

Because of the large number of manual embroidery beads used in the production of Haute Couture, it is not surprising that the price is over $250 thousand, and it is simply not embroidered with a style of $1-2.

There are only 2000 people around the world with Haute Couture fixed customers, and today there are only 20 brands of advanced custom clothes.

　 Advanced garment (Ready-to-wear) Translated from French Pret-a-porter

To some extent, it means retaining or inheriting some of the technologies of Haute Couture (Advanced Custom clothes), with the middle class as the target. It is a garment industry between Haute couture and mass produced cheap garments (French called Confection).

It was originally used as a sideline in Haute Couture after World War II. By 1960s, because of the change of people's lifestyle, the advanced garment industry flourished and replaced Haute couture.

The four fashion week of Paris, New York, Milan and London is the release and trading of advanced garments.

The difference between advanced garments and general garments is not only in the size and quality of their products, but also in their individuality and taste. Therefore, most of the international advanced garments are designer brands.
