Ready-to-Wear Fashion | Vibepedia

Ready-to-wear (RTW), or prêt-à-porter, refers to clothing manufactured in standardized sizes and sold in finished condition, a stark contrast to bespoke or made-to-measure garments. RTW collections are typically presented by designers during fashion weeks, mirroring the structure of haute couture but intended for broader commercial sale. While it democratized style, it also introduced debates around authenticity, quality, and the designer's original intent.
