What is Haute Couture?

What is Haute Couture? Here’s what I found from Wikipedia:

Haute couture (French for “high sewing” or “high dressmaking” or “high fashion,” pronounced[ot ku’tyʁ], English pronunciation:/ˌoʊt kuːˈtʊər/) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothingHaute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
