    2. How has Paris Become the Fashion Capital?<\/h2>\n

    Paris began to be considered as “the city of fashion” in the seventeenth<\/strong> century<\/strong>, when King Louis XIV<\/strong>, famous for his lavish and opulent taste, summoned the most famous designers of that time to design his royal clothes. His royal court become the icon of style, which started to be appreciated and copied internationally. Since then, it has never stopped: throughout the centuries Paris has been the point of reference for new fashion styles, designes, breaktroughs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Haute couture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Haute couture<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>means the high fashion<\/strong>, which is not directed to the general public, but is custom-fitted<\/strong> for a specific person. Surprisingly though, it’s an English, not French invention! It was first introduced in the nineteenth century by the British Charles Frederick Worth, who, however, opened his fashion house in Paris. Why there? Because Paris was already seen as the avant-garde<\/strong> city of fashion and design. Haute couture introduced the customisation of fabrics, colours and details of design according to the customer’s requests.<\/p>\n
