Why Haute Couture Needs Subtitling

In the Haute Couture sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Subtitling delivers measurable results that transform how haute couture professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Haute Couture

Haute couture video documents the pinnacle of fashion craftsmanship — garments requiring 300-700 hours of handwork that are produced for an audience of fewer than 2,000 clients worldwide. The video must honor both the final runway moment and the months of atelier work that precede it: embroiderers at Lesage, feather workers at Lemarié, and fabric manipulators whose techniques have been passed down through generations. Fashion week runway capture requires 4-6 cameras, a dedicated audio feed from the soundboard, and a live-edit director who can deliver highlight reels within hours of the show ending. Behind-the-scenes atelier documentaries (10-15 minutes for YouTube) serve both PR and archival purposes. The aesthetic is deliberately slow and reverent — lingering close-ups on hand-stitching and fabric draping. Production budgets for major houses run 100,000 to 300,000 euros per season, not including the runway show production itself.

Video Challenges in Haute Couture

Conveying Craftsmanship Through Motion

Luxury fashion demands video that matches the quality and attention to detail of the products themselves. 73% of luxury consumers say video influences their purchase decisions, but the content must elevate the brand rather than cheapen it. The challenge is producing video that feels exclusive and aspirational.

From runway shows to lookbooks, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship stories to influencer collaborations, fashion video must capture fabric movement, color accuracy, and the intangible quality that defines luxury. Each season requires fresh content across multiple platforms, each with different format requirements.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Haute Couture Collection Launch

A luxury maison produced a 90-second brand film for their collection launch, combining runway footage with artisan workshop sequences. The film generated 8.3M views across platforms and drove a 42% increase in online store traffic during launch week.

Key Benefits for Haute Couture

Brand Elevation & Commercial Impact

Fashion video delivers premium ROI: lookbook videos increase online conversion by 134%, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship content builds brand heritage perception by 67%, and campaign films on social media generate 4x more engagement than static imagery. Luxury brands with strong video presence report 28% higher brand value perception.

Our Subtitling Process

Audio & Subtitling Process

1. Transcription: AI-assisted transcription followed by human verification for 99%+ accuracy. Timecoded script creation.

2. Translation/Adaptation: Professional translation with cultural adaptation, lip-sync timing for dubbing, and accessibility compliance (WCAG).

3. Recording/Integration: Professional voiceover recording in treated studio, sound design, Foley, and mix in 5.1/stereo.

4. QC & Delivery: Sync verification, audio quality check, format-specific export, and subtitle file delivery (SRT, VTT, SCC).

What Makes Subtitling Unique

Subtitling adds timed text to your video — either in the original language (for accessibility and sound-off viewing) or translated into additional languages. We transcribe manually (no auto-generated captions), time each subtitle to speech rhythm with a maximum of two lines and 42 characters per line (Netflix standard), and deliver in SRT, VTT, and burned-in formats. Our subtitlers follow reading-speed guidelines (15-20 characters per second) to ensure viewer comfort. A 10-minute video takes 2-3 business days per language. We support all Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, and CJK character sets. This service is essential for accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA) and for the 85% of social media videos watched without sound.

What You Receive

You receive: subtitle files (SRT, VTT, SCC), burned-in subtitle version, audio mix (stereo + 5.1), voiceover stems, and accessibility compliance report.
