Fashion capital
A fashion capital (or fashion city) is a city which is a major centre for the fashion industry. In
such a city activities including the production and retail of fashion goods, fashion events (such
as fashion weeks and awards) and trade fairs will generate significant economic activity.
Besides having economic power, a fashion city is integrated with an active entertainment and
cultural scene, and thereby attracts tourists and consumers not only because of fashion per se.
A fashion city should be an object of inspiration for the professionals based there, with an
active, vivid, strong, unique subculture, that can inspire not only fashion professionals, but also
the people in the city, turning the Street style and the street culture into essential
characteristics. This mix of fashion, business, entertainment, culture, and leisure makes a city
attractive and internationally recognised as fashion centres for their unique and strong
identity, differentiating themselves due to specific characteristics.
Traditionally, there are four main fashion capitals known as the "big four": London, Milan, New
York City, and Paris. Nonetheless, the "big four" is often extended to include other cities, such
as Rome or Tokyo.[citation needed] In ranking terms, however, the "big four" are not always at
the top of the list, as in 2009, when Rome came fourth and London fifth, or in 2010, when
Hong Kong came second and Milan placed itself sixth. Los Angeles has been ranked as fifth
multiple times. As of 2011, London has been ranked as the top fashion capital of the world
