Influencer calling her garbage bag dress 'haute couture' irks netizens ​​
Fashion influencer Komal Pandey has proved her mettle on social media with her stylish videos and she leaves her followers in awe of her cool styling hacks. She recently uploaded a video where she used garbage bags to make a cool dress. But she took it a step further and labelled it as 'haute couture'. While her other influencer coteries lauded her unique sense of style, a lot of other social media users took offense to the fact that she called this outfit haute couture.


One user wrote, "Please don't call it haute couture. It's an insult to hardworking artisans." Another user added to this and wrote, "She should be held accountable for misinforming and misleading. And as far as the loose calling is considered she is the one that needs to be called out! She has such a huge following and when it comes to responsibility, she doesn’t even do her research and calls this couture. I mean how difficult is it to understand that she only cares about following and likes. The joke is on everyone here who is supporting this."
One of her followers even went on to describe the meaning of haute couture to her in the comment section. He wrote, "I usually don't comment. But I can't stop myself. Please don't use terms so loosely. Your influence is massive in pop culture and your voice matters."
For the less versed, haute couture is something that is constructed by hand from the very basic and is made of high-quality and unusual fabric sewn with extreme attention to details. This is then finished by the most assiduous sewers with the help of hand-executed techniques.
The fact that Komal termed this outfit haute couture irked some of these fashion peeps because a lot of hard work and time goes into making haute couture pieces.
