Designer clothes

What exactly are designer clothes? Would clothes by Nike, Adidas be considered designer clothes?
When we talk out high street shops, what does this mean? Yes, I know; shops on the high street but is it mainly the chain stores?

Nike and Adidas are brands. They do have designers working for them, but the designer's names aren't put on the products - the brand is the thing.

Some chain stores (Debenhams for example) sell clothes tagged with the designer's name (Jasper Conran, John Rocha for example) and those are designer clothes. They are usually fashionable with some additions to make them stand out a bit from the herd, may be of higher quality than major brands or non-designer labels, but are usually more expensive than their equivalent non-designer counterparts.

What exactly are designer clothes? Overpriced...noone can see the labels.

Designer clothes mean clothes according to the latest fashion. I always buy designer clothes for me from "ExcelClothing" online shop.
