Wk 1 EOC: Haute Couture



In France, Haute Couture is what is used to describe clothing. Not just any clothing, Haute Couture means clothes that are high quality. The clothes are custom made from different designers. Each piece of is made from leading fashion houses with top of the line fashionable materials. I think as a photographer, haute couture is probably one of the best routes to take for your career. Even though it might not be the best paying occupation for a photographer, but the work is consistent. It is a type of business that you need to be on top of your game, and nothing less. “Your current business model must be reviewed. Whether you’re a freelance news photographer, an advertising photographer, a wedding photographer, or a high school portrait photographer, all good business people sit down and examine what they are doing and how they could do it better.” As our society grows, the fashion world grows simultaneously. I think that haute couture is a long way from dying out, which means a lot of money and work for creative professionals such as photographers. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and high fashion has been something I’ve been exposed to for quite some time. If anything I would say that haute couture is at its peak or on the way there. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
