NEW YORK. LONDON. MILAN. PARIS.
Designers
show at certain cities because each city is know for something different, and
people look at the collections in their own thoughtful way, meaning some designers are
more successful in each of the capitals. The designers have to be accredited to
show in the Fashion weeks, so for new designers it’s very difficult to get into
that high demanding world. And unfortunately, a lot of it is down to money and
how successful a designer is.
Fashion
weeks vary, and are recognized for different things. Take the Spring/Summer
2015 collections from each of the capitals, they are all widely different. In New
York and Paris, practical/ ready to wear clothing is prominent, whereas in
London and Milan, the more artistic, unconventional, eye catching approach using
playful colours is taken in the hope to sell their collections.
New
York is known for its commerciality, and while there are still hints of
this within London, the collections are more
couture and artistic, meaning their aim isn't to sell their collections but make a
statement or tell a story. Paris has a definite split from the
other three cities. It concentrates on organic shapes and versatility, including
some beautiful sculptural pieces. The collections are often rather expensive
looking, couture based, but still wearable.
Maybe
New
York and Paris are aiming higher than London and Milan, purely based on the fact
they are creating wearable collections and are hoping to sell the garments.
