Haute couture 

Fench for high sewing, refering to the quality of clothes. The term is ambigous. In some circles, it refers strictly to clothes manufactured in Paris, where use of the term is governed, but late in the last century it has been extended to include the produce of houses in other large cities around the world.
Haute couture is always to be pronounced in a french accent, to appease the needs of glitterati.
