  What it means

  Literally “the cry of fashion.” This refers to the very latest, most popular, or most extreme trend in the fashion world. It describes something that “shouts” for attention because it is currently the height of style. It can be used for clothing, hairstyles, or even interior design.

  Vocabulary

  • krzyk — cry / scream / shout
  • moda — fashion
  • modny — fashionable

  Grammar note

  'Mody' is the genitive form of 'moda.' This is a classic "genitive of domain," where the first noun (cry) is defined by the second noun (fashion).

  Cultural context

  This expression sounds a bit more dramatic than just saying something is "modne" (fashionable). It suggests the trend is so new or bold that everyone is talking about it.
