Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): cc in nyc

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

couldn't be more contemporary/the latest/as fresh as possible

3 possibilities. The "pile dans" means this coat is as up to date/trendy as possible. i wouldn't use the word "trendy" because ity tends to have negative connotations.
Peer comment(s):

agree mannix : yes for "the latest". Also agree with connatations of trendy.

right up with the times

First thing that popped into my head. Probably better alternatives though.

another idea: right in line with the latest trends
Peer comment(s):

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Or "in the spirit of the times". The "pile" is emphatic and if the chosen expression is lively enough, it need not be translated.

very "now"

or: very "in"

Both very common in fashion.

in line with the very latest fashions

"in line with the latest fashions" over 5m hits with google

"very" to match the emphasis of the French expression
