Are you passionate about haute couture and want to learn more and discover the latest trends from significant luxury houses? You've come to the right place. Indeed, you are not unaware that the French capital is THE destination in terms of fashion and haute couture. Artistic cradle of great names such as Christian Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Yves-Saint Laurent and many others, Paris opens the doors of its most famous houses. Guided tours are organized on the premises of Coco Chanel, located at Rue Cambon, and Louis Vuitton in Asnières-sur-Seine. Like the Champs Elysées, the streets of Saint-Honoré and Faubourg-Saint-Honoré are famous for mobilizing the biggest brands. Most history buffs will visit the museums of Yves-Saint-Laurent, the Palais Galliera and the fashion and textile museums of the Arts Décoratifs.
The city of London, world-renowned for houses like Burberry and Vivienne Westwood, is also one of the places to focus on in the world of haute couture. In the chic Mayfair district, visitors to the Ralph & Russo boutique can discover the house's latest collections. In addition, the Alexander McQueen boutique, located at 27 Old Bond Street, gives you the immense privilege of learning, on a dedicated floor, the process of creating its collections.
Workshops are also organized for the younger generation to pass on the house's know-how under the supervision of the on-site team. If you want to go shopping in the streets of London, here are two must-see addresses: Bond Street, which runs through Mayfair and Knightsbridge, which is located on the outskirts of Hyde Park. Also, note that the city has some haute couture exhibition venues such as the Victoria and Albert and the Fashion and Textile Museum.
Milan, like the Italian class, is also very famous for luxury. Fashion icons such as Guccio Gucci, Giorgio Armani or Gianni Versace make it a destination of choice. The Quadrilatero della Moda is a sumptuous district with many luxury houses. Then, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a shopping center with magnificent facades and very elaborate architecture, is also a place to be noticed during your stay. In addition, Milan also has museums retracing the history of Italian fashion, including the Museum of Fashion and Costume, the Armani/Silos Museum and that of Salvatore Ferragamo.
New York is also part of the small circle of fashion capitals. 5th Avenue, known as one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world, is the place to be for all fashionistas. Located in Manhattan near Central Park and the Empire State Building, it is undoubtedly an essential stop during your visit to New York. Madison Avenue, a great reference in terms of luxury, is also an important address. New York is also famous for hosting a large-scale event for all fashion enthusiasts called the Met Gala.
