The answer is Couture !

To the few who voted for high fashion I am sorry to inform you but the correct answer to our poll question was couture. As part of the House of Dior, Christian Dior launched the haute couture empire in 1946 which can be described as high fashion and ready to wear garments. Common competitors to the House of Dior include: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Versace and Prada.

Fashion lovers all over the world must know the difference between a couture line and high fashion. It is a common mistake most people are not aware of. However, most of Christian Diors collections can be seen on red carpets and award shows. Please keep in mind Christian Dior was the first designer to embrace and recreate woman's clothing back in 1947 when he debut his spring/summer collection and titled it, "The New Look".

Head over to our poll section and vote for your answer to, "What item made Gucci famous worldwide?"
