1. Paris Regardless of how times change, mentioning the city of fashion have to mention Paris. Long history, developed economy, diverse culture, coupled with the romantic and sophisticated character of the French, so that the literary capital of Paris has always been full of fashion, it can be said that fashion is the city of Paris is born with the temperament. For most of its history, Paris has been a veritable capital of culture and art, attracting and bringing together the best literary and artistic talents in Europe, including, naturally, the top talented designers in the field of fashion. Regardless of the changes in the fashion industry worldwide, Paris has always been the birthplace of the modern fashion industry and is considered the cultural mecca of the fashion industry. The most famous fashion brands in Paris include Chanel, Dior and LV, all of which have a high global profile. Paris Fashion Week, which takes place twice a year, has a lasting and powerful influence on the world with its luxurious and diverse style.
2. Milan If Paris is the birthplace of the modern fashion industry, Milan, in northern Italy, is where the industry first sprouted. So if we talk about the history of European and global fashion industry, Milan is the real starting point. Today, Milan's position in the world's fashion industry is fully capable of competing with and even surpassing Paris. The reason for Milan's initial fashion industry is directly related to Italy's role as the center of the Renaissance. Italy had a large number of skilled craftsmen in that era, and this, together with the fact that Italy had a higher level of textile industry than the whole Europe at that time, gave birth to the initial fashion genes of Milan and even Italy. But later, with the economic prosperity of the Atlantic coast of Britain and France, Milan once fell, Paris, London and other cities have risen to become the world's fashion industry center. However, after the war, the reconstruction of the economy of northern Italy brought Milan back to the center of the world's fashion scene. Here were born fashion brands including ARMANI, Gucci, PRADA and other highly recognized fashion brands. Although Milan Fashion Week was the latest to emerge among the four major fashion weeks, it is now a leader in terms of influence.
3. London London has always seemed to have less of an aura in the fashion world than Paris or Milan, but that hasn't stopped it from also remaining at the top of the global fashion industry. Thanks to the glory of the former Sunset Empire, London has been a global hub in the fields of technology, finance, and commerce, but it is often easy to overlook the lasting influence of its fashion industry. As the first country to industrialize, Britain was home to one of the world's first middle classes. The rise of the fashion industry in modern times is inextricably linked to the growing middle class, and it was the middle class's respect for the fashion industry that officially gave rise to the new industry, replacing the fashion that was exclusive to royalty and aristocracy in medieval Europe. Compared to the more elegant Paris and Milan, the London fashion industry has a significant industrial revolutionary trend and a unique British gentleman style, London Fashion Week is also more bold and new. It is also worth mentioning that London's well-developed fashion design education has led to a steady stream of top designers coming from here to take center stage in the global fashion industry. The fashion brands from London are represented by Burberry, Topshop, All SAINTS, etc.
4.New York Compared to the three fashion capitals of old Europe, New York, located in the New World, has played a crucial role in the globalization of the fashion industry. This is obviously directly related to the strong influence of American economy and culture after World War II. Because of the influx of European elite immigrants after the war, New York's fashion ethos is certainly a continuation of the old European fashion culture, but it clearly incorporates the more diverse and spirited cultural elements of the New World, such as black, Indian, Latin and Asian cultures. Coupled with the fact that the United States is a new economic power that surpasses the industrialization of old Europe, thus making its fashion industry more popular and fast-paced, New York has truly become the masterpiece of the fashion field and has the strongest commercial atmosphere among the major fashion capitals. The main fashion brands from New York are Public School, Thom Browne and so on. In comparison, the influence of New York Fashion Week once surpassed Paris after the war, becoming the center of the new generation of the post-war global fashion industry.
