The list of requirements per the French Chamber of CommerceFashion Division is very extensive! The couture houses that are on thelist are to be commended for such strenuous dedication to their art anddiscipline!

Especially to be commended and worthy of recognition arethe couture fashion houses that qualified to be on the list without theHUGE financial backing of the largest luxury goods conglomerate, theLVMH ie. they have under their umbrella: Hennessey, as well as a mergingwith Luis Vuitton, they acquired Givenchey in the early 90's, Dior isthe largest, and Moët & Chandon (As in the bubbly) among otherhigh-end divisions. Yes they own all of them, very interesting right!The LVMH last year reached over DIEZIOCHO DOSCIENTOS Milles de Millionesin European Currency of course! That is ONE followed by Eight followedby TWO, then 8 ZEROS, not dollars, but Thousands of Millions of EUROS!That spells big business! Is it any wonder that of the haute couturedesigners Givenchey and Dior are two of the major trendsetters in thefashion world?

In itself Haute Couture is not all that profitable ofan affair or venture at all unless piggybacked by the prêt-à-porter(ready-to-wear) or other business models.

Amazingly noteworthyare the fashion houses that each year put out amazing inspirationalcollections on a limited budget.
