            New York City is one of the world's great fashion capitals. Luxurious boutiques, designer flagships and fast-fashion emporiums offer stylish goods in every corner of the five boroughs. Runway shows lend the start of every season a theatrical grandeur, but talks, exhibitions, store openings, exclusive collaborations and sample sales round out the offerings. Glamour is more accessible here than it is anywhere else on earth. -nycgo.com
          New York is the number one fashion capital of the world. If you look at Elles articles from  2015 New York fashion week you will find articles like; Trendspotting, New York fashion week: black flat boots and Maddie Zieglers fashion week photo diary.  What makes New york special? Although I have  been there only a few times I will guess that what makes new york special is that it is a nitty-gritty city with 6 million people and yet there is magic. You can be in a street with graffitti all over then take the subway and end up on fifth avenue. It is a mix of the biggest urban space, shops and tourism, and big glass buildings that surround the city. http://www.elle.com/fashion-week/

If I were to choose a fashion capital to move to I would choose Londen. The site, londonfashionweek is an amazing site. I have included the link to a video on it of highlights of londons 2015 fashion week. What seems to be most apparant in all of the designs is the pop of odd in each garment. It truly is a world in it's self. British designers include Viviane Westwood  Alexander Mcqueen and, my favorite, Alexa Chung. http://londonfashionweek.co.uk/highlights.aspx
