These two websites cater to much of the same market that my business will be targeting. I am wondering what they are using... and whether or not I'm looking at an expensive job (how expensive if possible) to have something designed that is on par, or close to it. I'm talking about design/hosting/shopping cart etc... not the obvious added cost of models and a professional photographer.
They both look like HTML sites with shopping carts as you have seen. It depends on who does the work for you and how many pages you will need. You could try to put together a site yourself. I think there might be forums here that help. If not, just shop around until you find someone to do it for you.
Considering you already have your domain name, hosting shouldn't cost more than $8-$10/month depending on which host you use.
They're both made using ASP script/shopping cart, most likely pulling data from a database in the background. I've never used that specific shopping cart, but I'm assuming that there's some sort of template that they're using. Then of course, you can modify the template a little bit more to fit your taste.

Both of those sites are custom coded. They are not off the shelf shopping carts. I think that you can get a custom coded cart for a couple thousand dollars. Hosting is nothing in comparison.

https://www.christianaudigier.com is made using AspDotNetStoreFront (TM) ML version 6.1.3.1, probably with source code option, $599.
Von Dutch Official Store looks very familiar, especially the extra image popup and some of the ASP file names. I just can't find the cart information anywhere, but it looks pretty off-the-shelf w/ some template mods.

Hey thanks a lot for the reply. I am guessing it is fairly necessary to shell out the money for these carts to buy the attention of those willing to pay a premium for clothing? Meaning... I'm just not going to pull it off with Zencart for example?
They are both pretty advanced and they are both designed in Dreamweaver.
You can tell what program they are designed in by the tell tale "MM" in certain lines of the code.
Dreamweaver has add-ins that allow you to download shopping carts and will automatically integrate the shopping cart into your site.
How are these sites made?
