Kate Middleton Tops Gaga for Top Fashion Buzzword

The Language Monitor has been tracking the frequency of usage of phrases in the fashion press, and compiles an annual report, which you can find on this page. We see a bunch of eponyms, some blendings, compounds, and a menagerie of other word types. I particularly liked* 'meggings'.

*By 'liked', I mean loathed. And if you ever see me wearing any, please punch me until I stop.
