The founders of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture established an exclusive trade union in 1868 made up of fashion houses that produced one of a kind garments of the highest quality for their clients – haute couture. These days, the phrase haute couture is nothing more than a buzzword and is often used incorrectly, creating myths from its use by the general public. This symposium addresses these myths and will call attention to some of the modern-day culprits.
