You hit it on the nail, about Antwerp! Well, we've discussed it in other threads. I've been there twice, and I dream of moving there. I don't dream of visiting again, because I know I will!!!Originally posted by Scott@Feb 12th, 2004 - 12:05 pm
Faust,lets be more specific. Antwerp is the thinking person's fashion capital
Followed by:
Paris
Berlin
London
Tokyo
I leave out NY because frankly,I don't think its worth mentioning because the way they treat their creatives. The other cities I find appreciate and respect all forms not just one side. Shopping and street-style,of course,that's another story all together.
Leyla*,it happens anywhere where innovation is happening. Loads of people are copying not just London but also Antwerp. Trying to anyway

Well,when I think of best city for fashion,I think of fashion in all its nuances. And I don't mean silly,overhyped labels from an actress or a famous bandmember either. Paris,London,Antwerp etc. etc. has so many different talents and levels of design that are appreciated more so, by many, than in NY.Originally posted by Scott+Feb 12th, 2004 - 2:29 pm--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Scott @ Feb 12th, 2004 - 2:29 pm)</div><div class='quotemain'>Originally posted by faust@Feb 12th, 2004 - 12:57 pm

Berlin, that seems like a good choice. It's one of my next destinations (it's so much harder to travel when you have a 6 weeks old child )
Can you elaborate more about your opinion on NYC?
true-true-thanks for the reminder...Originally posted by Jentlemen@Feb 12th, 2004 - 4:02 pm
i've been under the impression, that these fashion capitals are known for the following but not limited to though ofcourse..
Paris - Haute couture
London - men's wear
Milan - leather goods
NY,SF,LA - sports/casual wear
I've never been to Paris or Milan or Berlin.Originally posted by Jentlemen@Feb 12th, 2004 - 3:39 pm
i remember reading something about Montreal being a growing fashion capital as well. Second largest french speaking city
The city has a unique blend of French, English, and American fashion influences.
