Glass Fashion
Or Haute Glass Couture(/ˌoʊt kuːˈtʊər/; French pronunciation: ; French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking" or "high fashion") refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing made from sculpted glass. Haute Glass Couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made entirely of glass with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable glass artists, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. "Couture" means dressmaking, sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit. "Haute" means elegant or high. An haute couture garment is made specifically for the wearer’s measurements and body stance.
