haute couture
augstā mode


Explanation:
Tiešā tulkojumā no franču valodas - augstā mode. Es gan personīgi atstātu netulkotu.

French (of course) that literally means "high fashion". Haute couture garments are always one-off, one-of-a-kind. They're extravagant, often irrational, always unique and totally unaffordable. Famous eco haute couture designers include Linda Loudermilk, Katharine Hamnet, and Deborah Lindquist.

agree  xxm: Juridiski tikai "haute couture", ja runa ir par "Parīzes daiļdrēbniecības" 11 modes namiem. Pārējais - "ot lukavogo" gan Pampāļos, gan Milānā (tur ir Alta Moda), bet īpaši aptrakušajā Maskavā un Ņujorkā.
