It's anecdote time. So the other day, my friends who are going to Italy over spring break were talking about how "Milan is the fashion capital of the world." I overhear this, and I cannot help but interject and share some Cartier pearls of wisdom.
Me: "Uh, sorry, but Milan just isn't the fashion capital of the world."
Friend #1: "What? Isn't it, like really famous for fashion?"
Me: "Yeah, but I wouldn't exactly refer to it as the fashion capital of the world."
Friend #2: "Then what is?"
Me: "Paris. Even though Italian craftsmanship is fantastic, the variety and calibur of design seen in Paris is just, in general, amazingly better than what's seen in Milan."
...pause...
Friend #1: "Oh yeah, I remember on My Super Sweet 16, this girl went to Paris to buy her dress because she said it was the fashion capital of the world."
I then use all the willpower I can muster up to keep myself from smashing myself over the head with my French textbook until my golden locks are soaked with blood.
This are just some of the reasons, taken from the last day of PFW, why Paris is it...
Olivier
Alber
Marc actually making pretty clothes.
Sophia
The fact that Miu Miu is shown there, at least for the time being.

oooh i hate when people do not understand fashion and compare it to, as you said super sweet sixteen, or what everyone is wearing on laguna beach. Vair, vair annoying.
Totally agree! I would rather that my non-fashion friends not talk about fashion in front of me. It always makes my skin crawl a little bit in my mouth.
hahahaha!
