With two hundred regular customers, Chanel could reign supreme in the kingdom of Haute Couture.
This number sounds a bit scant.
Every year, there are more female stars walking the red carpets around the world than that number.
Aren't these glitz-and-glam female stars all regular customers of Haute Couture?
The answer is actually no.
A large portion of the dresses worn by female stars belong to Ready-to-Wear, the ones that are released during the Four Fashion Weeks.
Even Mrs. Jiao Baby, who is not short of money, wore a Dior dress to the Cannes Film Festival that belonged to Ready-to-Wear, not Haute Couture.
Of course, Baby has worn Haute Couture; the Dior wedding dress she wore took five months and nearly a thousand hours of hand sewing. It was definitely standard Haute Couture.
Even someone of Mrs. Jiao's level and status rarely wears Haute Couture.
