“Naturellement,” this fashionable word comes from French. “Couture” means “sewing” or “dressmaking” in French, but it has come to refer to a specific subset of high-fashion garments made to a person’s specific measurements. “Couturier” is the word for the person who makes such specialized clothes. In the fashion industry, not just any fashion designer can call themselves a couturier. If a designer qualifies in France, they must be invited to be a member of the “Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.” Well-known members include the couturiers Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Schiaparelli, and Giambattista Valli.
