First, the lead section in this article has an introductory sentence that basically describes the main idea of Haute couture.It contains a brief description of the main idea, but the information on historical examples and the origin of the topic are overly detailed, which includes some information that is not so useful. Second, the content of this article contains five parts, and they are relevant to the topic. The content is up-to-date, it mentions the example of the Met Gala, an annual largest Haute couture fashion night. However, the content about the history of France needs additional verification, the sources need extra citations to support it. The content relates less to the historical equity gap in Wikipedia, which needs to be improved. The tone of this article is kind of neutral, some of the viewpoints mentioned in the article have bias, which is a little overrepresented. Evaluating the sources to support the article, there are not enough reliable secondary sources to back up the content, especially the part about the Haute couture's history in France. Other contents in the article do have reliable sources support, some of the sources are current, but some sources need to be updated. The links provided in the article work, but they lack a diverse spectrum of authors. The organization of article is clear and well-organized, and the content is going through a timeline, from origin to the modern world, which is easy to read. The article includes images to elaborate on the terms, but the images can be more current to relate to the topics. Also, it can lay out more pictures in the article.
