It sits between haute couture, which is made to measure and legally protected, and mass fashion, produced in very large quantities without a signature. What defines it is less a price point than a signature and manufacturing you can trace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ready-to-wear covers every garment sold finished, in standard sizes and produced in series. You buy it in a store and wear it the same day, with no fittings or alterations in a workroom.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What is a concept store?

You will not find a brand&amp;rsquo;s entire range or a whole department, but pieces that a person or a small team has chosen one by one. The format was born in Milan in 1990 and became a Paris institution with Colette from 1997.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
