The list of requirements per the French Chamber of Commerce Fashion Division is very extensive! The couture houses that are on the list are to be commended for such strenuous dedication to their art and discipline!

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

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

Amazingly noteworthy are the fashion houses that each year put out amazing inspirational collections on a limited budget. Like our collections of j-na couture, and we appreciate greatly your support of this website in pro of the great costs associated with the ART of Haute Couture! Thank YOU with all our heart! We love you!

In fact we are VERY proud to Announce the LAUNCH of the first complete haute couture collection of j-na couture evening wear with the latest in j-na couture accessories. 20 years in the making entitled: Completeness!

Support your up-and-coming couturiers!
