First name in couture (4)
I believe the answer is:
yves
'first name in couture' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for yves that I've seen before include "Frenchman maybe" , "__ Saint Laurent, couturier, d. 2008" , "-- Montand (French actor)" , "-- Saint-Laurent, French fashion designer" , "-- Saint-Laurent, couturier" .)
