In your opinion, is Haute Couture a dying art? Why or why not?

Is high fashion a dying art? Also know as haute couture. Personally I absolutely believe that it is a dying art. For that fact that it takes 100 to 700 hrs to make an evening dress according to fashion articles it takes, passionate, skills, and patience to create a handmade garment. Men and women that are well known and that are in the fashion industry now a days want something fast they can wear by the next day, because of how busy their agenda is. Also other people, on a daily basis they go into stores to quickly by of the rack clothing. This is a cause of how this generation is full procrastination and everyone wants something inexpensive and fast. For example if you're a young women in the music industry and you have an event like the VMA's to attend the next day you can quickly go into a boutique, find the dress in stock, get fitted and will probably have your dress, suit, etc in a couple hours. Unlike buying off haute couture, were it can take months to have a unique dress handmade to your likings with the short amount of time you have.
