Haute Couture Definition:  The term "haute couture" is French. Haute means "high" or "elegant." Couture literally means "sewing," but has come to indicate the business of designing, creating, and selling custom-made, high fashion women's clothes.

Costume and Fashion history would not be the same without Haute couture.

So the two combined imply excellent artistry with the fashioning of garments.  The purchase of a Haute Couture garment is at the top level of hand customised fashion design and clothing construction made by a couture design house.  A Haute Couture garment is made specifically for the wearer's measurements and body stance.  The made to measure exclusive clothes are virtually made by hand, carefully interlined, stay taped and fitted to perfection for each client.

This is exactly what we do at Souraya.

Chanel, Valentino, Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, Christian Dior, and Ellie Saab are just some of the most prestigious Haute Couture Designer labels throughout the world with unprecendeted luxurious style of which Souraya brings to the forefront of the Australian fashion scene. 

“Haute Couture implies precision in lines. Haute Couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation. If, in ready to wear, a garment is manufactured according to standard sizes, the haute couture garment adapts to any imperfection in order to eliminate it.”
