After researching if i should do haute couture or pret a porter, i watched youtube fashion show videos and googled imagers and could not tell the difference between the two. Only then, i realised i did not have to choose between either one. I further went to research the difference and found out that Haute Couture is "The clothes may be specifically designed for the client, such as a one-of-a-kind wedding dress or a one-of-a-kind red carpet ensemble, or they may be part of a designer's couture collection, which are the pieces the designer shows that are available for custom fit." While Pret-a-Porter is "the pieces that you'll find in their boutiques or in department stores come the new fashion season"


Well at least from my mistake, i really understand the difference between  Haute-Couture or Pret-a-Porter.
