Summary/Abstract: This article deals with a current linguistic topic in the field of the French fashion-related vocabulary, that is the abundance of words borrowed from the British and American English covering all grammatical categories. The number of such words borrowed from English is becoming increasingly higher due to the technological and scientific progress. Their massive presence in languages and fields around the world is caused by one’s necessity to name various newly- appeared realities. Anglicisms are thus « fashionable » and have established themselves as a « trend » in the field of fashion-related vocabulary too.
