One of the most iconic names in the fashion and style industry, Yves Saint Laurent, was the one who said “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” As much as style remains forever, it is a sad fact that fashion lovers won’t be here on earth forever.
It is therefore the reason it is on the bucket list of every fashion enthusiast to visit the renowned fashion capitals of the world. Whenever fashion and travel intersect, it’s always trendy. These top fashion capitals of the world are not only famous for their one-of-a-kind fashion weeks but also their amazing tourist attractions.
1. Paris
Famously known as the fashion capital of the world, Paris has long been a byword for style, beauty and sophistication. The city of love is the ultimate destination for fashion enthusiasts and aspiring models. It is also the city where the prestigious Paris Fashion Week holds twice every year, the biggest and most grand fashion event featuring iconic brands like Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Louboutin.
2. New York
New York City has over 5,000 fashion showrooms, more than any other city in the world, and hosts over 75 major fashion trade shows and market weeks (including the iconic New York Fashion Week) each year. New York Fashion Week in the Big Apple is every shopaholic’s dream time of the year.
3. London
The United Kingdom’s fashion industry supports an estimated 800,000 jobs, which includes plenty of high-fashion and catwalk gigs for both female and male models. Like New York, however, the city also supports a variety of other career options for models, including commercials and television work, as well as editorial and print modelling. In 2018, London Fashion Week did its first showcase without any fur.
4. Milan
Milan hosts one of the largest fashion weeks in the world – Milan Fashion Week. It has the most elite members of fashion in attendance. Designers such as Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani, and Gianni Versace, have emerged from here, thereby putting it on the fashion map. Milan is home to over 12,000 fashion companies, 800 showrooms, and 6,000 stores.

Tokyo Fashion Week is one of the most anticipated fashion events in the region and is quickly rising as one of the top fashion spots in the world.
