Fashion Words

Fashion borrows heavily from French — "couture," "ensemble," "chiffon" — which gives it a particular sound in English. But the vocabulary also includes practical fabric terms (denim, linen, tweed) and construction terms (pleat, hemline, stitch) that matter whether you're shopping, sewing, or reading a fashion article.
