Chambre Syndicale de la Confection et de la Couture pour Dames et Fillettes
- Chambre Syndicale de la Confection et de la Couture pour Dames et Fillettes
A group organized by couture designer
Charles Frederick Worth in 1868 for the purpose of dealing with issues relating to the manufacture of
haute couture. Much in the tradition of the medieval
guild concept, this organization tried to preserve the integrity of the haute couture and created a lobby that could protect the rights and interests of
made-to-measure clothing and its workers and could differentiate them from those of
ready-to-wear. In 1910, the name was changed to
Chambre Syndicale de la haute couture parisienne.
