Please do not refer to something as couture unless it is custom made with painstaking attention to detail. I just think that it's really insulting to all of the artistry and effort that goes into creating couture pieces.
This, while beautiful, is not couture.

This, my dears, is couture.

I just read an interview on an otherwise fantastic fashion website wherein the interviewer misused the word couture several times, as in, "What's it like attending all of the most couture fashion shows, like Margiela?"
Please friends, let's correct this.

thanks for the clarification. this bugs me, too. "haute couture" actually means "fine sewing." fashion for the sake of art.
