I don't see how 'dernier cri' fits the clue tho?

You need to brush up on your french :-) Dernier Cri means latest in French and is a commonly used fashion term

relied on Chambers dictionary "dernier cri, last word (literally cry). the latest fashion." Can't say fashion is my strong subject. Thanks for the convoluted explanation of Norrie
