PARIS

It has to be Paris.Fashion week in Paris is one of the most anticipated and attended compared to fashion weeks held in other cities. It hosts over 100 designers and designer brands every year, and not all of them are even based in Paris. Paris has been considered the style and fashion capital of the world since the 16th century, and it has been influential in the fashion world ever since. The fashion industry is one of the most grossing industries in France and therefore, an integral part of its economy.

NEW YORK

Paris is not the only trendsetting city in the world. Designers based in New York challenged Parisian couture by introducing sportswear in the high fashion world back in the 1940s and 1950s. Fashion is an integral part of life for people living in New York. This is also the city that was first to host the fashion week, and as such, made history. The event was supposed to shed some light on American designers, but no one could have predicted what would happen next. They made history by kick-starting the largest and the most important event in the industry that occurs each year. New York became synonymous with a luxurious lifestyle, hustle culture, and big brands.

 

MILAN

Milan is also recognized as one of the big four in the fashion world. It might not have such a long history as cities like Paris, but the contribution of designers in the 20th century is what made this city a fashion capital. 

 

 

LONDON

LONDON 👈

 

London is another important city in the fashion world. The language barrier (or lack of it) plays a significant role in establishing cities such as New York and London as the global capitals in fashion.

Moreover, London is populated with people from all walks of life, and this multicultural aspect is what made designers who are based in London stand out. This characteristic and the recognizable products, along with the sense of style, allows London to compete with the rest of the big fashion capitals. It is what put this city in the 21st century on the map of the fashion capitals.
