“Haute Culture” is a term that is sometimes used in general media as a definition for cultural activities or items that achieve the highest standards. Although initially used as an offshoot of the highly popular (and now legally protected) Haute Couture, it really seeks to define anything that is unique and exclusive in the cultural world (as opposed to the fashion one).

“Haute Culture” really defines a number of interesting façades of our society and has been used in a number of different ways, from high-end art collections to tailor-made holidays.

A popular Vancouver, BC based blog ([1]) written by Colleen Coplick uses this term to discuss various lifestyle topics from music to local culture to health topics.
