Properly spelled
Prêt-à-Porter (I guess e2 doesn't support those characters in node titles), is
ready to wear in
French. These are the clothes that are sold in stores, versus being fitted. Eventually everything you see on the
runway winds up being toned down to be ready to wear.
This is also the original title of the movie
Ready to Wear, directed by
Robert Altman. Like most of his films, there are star
cameos, and
supporting cast everywhere. From
Sophia Loren, to
Kim Basinger. They use the fashion shows of
France as a backdrop for a murder movie. Although it is about
murder, it is still very much a
comedy.
