design (clothing, shoes, etc.)

When someone thinks of a new idea for something and plans out how to make it, they are "designing" something. For example, a clothing designer thinks of new styles of dresses, shirts, jackets, and so on.

Lots of different things can be "designed". Here are a few:

• clothing
• jewelry
• a website

high-end (products)

"High-end" things are expensive and high quality. People mostly use this phrase when talking about a business and the kind of products that the business sells.

They also own a high-end watch retailer.

Some things that can be called "high-end" include:

• clothing brands

luxury apparel

"Luxury apparel" is a category of the clothing industry. It means clothes that are very expensive.

The word "apparel" means "clothes" but it's a very technical-sounding word. People who work in clothing stores, department stores, and clothing manufacturers use this word when they talk about their products.
