From the reign of King Louis XIV, who fostered a love for luxury goods, to the innovative designs of Coco Chanel and Christian Dior, France has undeniably shaped the world of fashion. 

The concept of haute couture (‘high sewing’ or ‘high dressmaking’ or ‘high fashion’) was invented in Paris. Though it originally refereed to Englishman-in-Paris Charles Frederick Worth’s work, the term has become a ‘protected name’ in France, meaning that it can only be used by companies that meet certain well-regulated standards. 

Even with challenges from other countries, French designers like Yves Saint Laurent continued to redefine fashion, blurring gender lines and introducing ready-to-wear collections. Today, Paris remains a major fashion capital, it is home to the headquarters of Rochas, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Céline, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Chloe, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hermès and Lanvin.

This rich fashion history is just one facet of French culture. By understanding the language, you can delve deeper into art, cinema, literature, and the country's vibrant traditions.
