For clothing designers, PR pros, bloggers, influencers, and everyone who's anyone in the fashion industry, the month of September is like Christmas in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. From managing a hectic schedule packed with shows and parties to running around town with camera in hand –regardless of the city– the goal is the same: to get a "first look†at the latest fashion trends before they hit the stores next season. As far as the style goes, each city has its own unique flair. New York is known for casual and edgy sportswear. Paris for its understated elegance and haute couture, London for its edgy and avant-garde design, and Milan for its over-the-top, yet tailored to perfection style. Check out a snapshot of the top 4 fashion week events happening around the world.
