Couture Ready-to-Wear

Beyond haute couture, Liu Wen and her counterparts have been breaking ethnic barriers for ready-to-wear labels and cosmetics.

除了高级女式时装，刘雯和她的同行们一直在打破现成的标签和化妆品的种族障碍。

The designer was expelled from the Chambre Syndicale — the monitoring body of Haute Couture in Paris — for launching a ready-to-wear collection in 1959, but was soon reinstated.

1959年，这位设计师由于开办一个成衣时装发布会而被巴黎的高级时装监管机构法国高级时装协会开除，不过后来他很快就恢复原职。

One was that haute couture, hitherto available only to the very rich or vicariously through magazines and newspapers, should be sold worldwide in ready-to-wear shops at a fraction of the posh price.

一是将迄今为止只有非常富有的人才能买到或者通过杂志和报纸的方式来代理购买的奢侈高级女士时装（haute couture）以相对低廉的价格在世界范围内的成衣店内出售。
