Last, final, or most recent; particularly used in fashion to mean the newest or latest style.
From French 'dernier' meaning 'last' or 'final,' derived from Old French 'deranier,' which comes from Latin 'detrarius' (last). The word evolved in the context of fashion where 'dernier cri' means the latest fashion.
Fashion borrowed this French word so heavily that it became an English term for 'cutting edge style'—'dernier cri' literally means 'the last cry' or 'the final word' in elegance. It's a perfect example of how English steals prestige words from other languages to sound sophisticated about clothes.
