The term you are trying to pronounce is actually spelled 'haute coture' ... hoat coat-yur is the proper pronunciation. It's a 'French' term that means 'high fashion.'

Haute = oat
Couture = coo-tour, with emphasis on "tour"

Say it with a French sounding accent and you'll be a pro

It is "couture", and the pronunciation is "oat kootoor".
