For the first time in Asia, leading real estate developer Masterise Homes® is proud to announce a collaboration with high-end fashion designer ELIE SAAB in launching a collection of beautiful Haute Couture riverside villas in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City
The pure essence of Haute Couture
Although Haute Couture’s origins can be traced back to the lavish Rococo period at Versailles, its modern birth is often credited with Charles Frederick Worth, who founded the first couture house in Paris in 1858. By 1945, Haute Couture (meaning “couture tailoring” in French) had become a legally registered title with strict standards: each design must be a unique product, tailor-made to the customer’s measurements “by recognized artisans”.
Each Haute Couture outfit requires hundreds of hours of meticulous labor, making them extremely expensive – from $30,000 for daytime outfits to hundreds of thousands of dollars for intricately embroidered dresses. Haute Couture is the door to the designer’s soul, the purest expression of creative inspiration. It provides absolute freedom for artists to unleash their imagination and explore the boldest limits of fashion.

Exclusively for International class elite customers
Haute Couture is the absolute pinnacle of fashion, a symbol of luxury and exclusivity, accessible only to a privileged few. Holding a prestigious position in the fashion world, Haute Couture is not only the crystallization of art, creativity and master craftsmanship, but also a testament to class and sophisticated aesthetic taste. Haute Couture’s elite clients – from royalty, heiresses to the upper class – attend prestigious shows in Paris each year. This is also the desire of stars on the red carpet of major events such as the Oscars, Grammys or Met Gala, and is an item sought after by the upper class as a fashion masterpiece with eternal value.
Worldwide, the number of Haute Couture customers does not exceed 4,000 people, including prominent names such as Marjorie Harvey, Daphne Guinness, Lynn Wyatt, Ulyana Sergeenko, Queen Rania of Jordan, Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned, Danielle Steel and Wendy Yu. This is a luxurious and exclusive “club”, where prestigious customers truly appreciate the unique value of each design. Wearing a Haute Couture outfit not only shows a passion for fashion, but is also a symbol of wealth and prestige, reserved for those with the most sophisticated taste.
