"Prêt-à-Porter" (English: "Ready to Wear") is a 1994 satirical black comedy written, directed and produced by Robert Altman and shot during the Paris, France, Fashion Week with a host of international stars, models and designers.

Title

Miramax considered that American audiences would not understand a French title, so they released the movie in the US as "Ready to Wear (Prêt-à-Porter)". In other countries, the original title was used. The US DVD and VHS title was "Robert Altman's Ready to Wear".
