Couturier N Fashion Designer Makes Clothes Tailored Specific

Word couturier
Definition n. A fashion designer who makes clothes tailored for a specific client.
Sentence Rosenberg recognized that the “alienation of the artist,” academics’ contempt for colleagues who write for “the general reader,” the loathing of couturiers for retailers who copy and mass-market their designs, are all of a piece.
