Haute Couture is a division of the fashion industry organized by the trade association named the Fédération de la Haute Couture (formerly the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture). In Haute Couture, High fashion Houses produce two collections a year and then make customized versions of the designs in the collection for individual clients according to their specific measurements. Haute Couture collections are the most prestigious and luxurious that exist in the fashion industry. The materials are precious, everything is studied in detail. And it takes about 200-500 hours or even more to create one of these custom-made garments.

to snudge is to stride around as if you are terribly busy, when in fact you are doing nothing. Sounds about right.

"Yeats' muse, Maud Gonne"
A muse might be a lover, a friendly infatuation, or maybe even a stranger the artist never even speaks to. It's usually assumed that the muse is a lover, but really, it's not as clear-cut as that, and in fact some of the best muses never end up as a lover or romantic relationship at all.

This word means the feeling of excitement or elation that comes over you when you anticipate success.

For example, you’re playing a friendly game of Chess and suddenly realize the moves you need to make to checkmate your opponent. Or suppose you’re watching your favorite football team play a close game against their big rivals and at the end of the game you see they’re about to kick the winning field goal. That’s nikhedonia.

It is done by trend forecasters who are usually based at trend forecasting agencies, like WGSN. The trends they research can be cultural, economic, or celebrity trends. In sum, not just fashion trends, as those are influenced by what’s happening in the world, as well as cultural aspects and societal behavior.

To gongoozle is to gaze at activity taking place on a canal or waterway. It’s also used to describe those who harbour an interest in canals and canal living, but do not actively participate.
Gongoozling is kind of like ogling, but somewhat oddly specific to canals. Now that you know the word, you’ll probably notice gongoozlers everywhere—walking along the riverbank, on the beach, strolling around your neighborhood pond on a sunny afternoon. You, yourself, have probably been gongoozling for years without even realizing it.
