There is a long history of fashion in Paris and France (starting certainly in the 17th and 18th centuries with the kings' courts being very "fashion" and having a big influence on fashion all around Europe). The French fashion reached a top in the 19th century and beginning af 20th, but still is very important in the world -maybe number 1? don't know. Many types of clothes were invented there.\nToday, it is still a world capital of fashion (with Milano, London, New York, Tokyo), difficult to say if bigger than the others, competititon is hard! Italian people say the capital of fashion is Milano, Uk people say it's London, and French people say it's Paris...(but I think there are more exhibitions and/or events, and for sure there are more companies and business, see below).\nBig Paris names for fashion are Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel, Lancôme, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Hermes, Kenzo, Guerlain... And these are only the big names.\nThe big thing today is that many fashion companies are French ownned, even if giving the image of being from somewhere else (Gucci, Loewe, Acqua di Parma, Alexander McQueen, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Maybelline NY all belong to French companies, all of them based in Paris). \nThese are big global groups generally with a brand that looks local in each important country for fashion.\nAnd if you look at your Calvin Klein perfume, it is made in France (or at least all the ones I had), as many others (I don't really know why, maybe there's a special know how in France...)

Moi je pense sincerement (et pas juste parce que je suis supportrice du PSG) que Paris sera devant Marseille. C'est sur Marseille a fait un bon début, mais comme on le voit, cela ne dure pas. Paris mérite sa place dans la première partie du classement et surtout d'etre devant Marseille. Paris va gagner , Paris va remonter, Paris va y ariver ! Et j'en proifite pour dire : ALLEZ PARIS, PARIS EST MAGIQUE !!!!!

Indépendamment du foot, il y a une explication démographique. \n\nLes agglomérations de villes étrangères dont tu parles 2  à 3 fois plus peuplées que les françaises . En effet Paris est énorme (agglomération=9 millions) alors que l'agglomération de Bordeaux ou Lille font  à peine 1 million, Lyon 1,5 ; les autres pays ont un plus grand équilibre  : Milan,  Turin (2,5) presque aussi grands que Rome (2,8),  3 à Madrid, 2 à Barcelone, etc, Seville avec 700 000 habitants est une excepton, mais le Betis va mal et va sans doute descendre). A cela s'ajoute une particularité administrative : Londres, c'est la même ville pour toute l'agglomération;  Milan,  Madrid, Barcelone occupent administrativement presque toute l'agglomération. Mais Bordeaux et Lyon font le tiers, et Lille, par exemple faità peine  200 000  habitants face au million de l'agglomération. Dès qu'on s'éloigne du centre, on change de ville, donc de nom de club.  Lille et Lens, dont les stades sont à 20 mn l'un de l'autre, seraient connus comme deux clubs de la même "ville" s'ils étaient à Londres ou Milan ou à Buenos Aires (12 millions d'habitants). Ce que tu dis avait lieu en France (avec 4 pelés et 3 tondus par stade), il y a1/2 siècle : il y  en avait à 2 à "Paris"  (Racing =paris + Red Star=St Ouen), ou encore 2 à"Lille" (Lille+Roubaix), plus voisins ques  les deux Barcelonais ou que les Londoniens, mais avec des noms de villes différents). Une seule exception : Marseille, immense, qui couvre presque toute son agglomération avec la même municipalité, mais n'a qu'un club d'élite.\n\nEnsuite, pour des questions internes au foot, il faut compter avec la plus faible propension des français à aller au stade : difficile de drainer, dans ce cas, des spectateurs dans deux stades de 50 000 places le même jour dans une "petite" sphère de1,5 millions de personnes (même le calendrier italien est négocié pour que les matchs à domicile des deux Milans soient alternés, vu qu'ils partagent  le même stade).\n\nEt ce sera tout pour aujourd'hui.

Berut Lebanon\nits ancient, yet modernized.. It is highly fashionable. It is considered the Paris of the Middle East due to all the high modern fashion there, TV studios, night life, tourism intermerging with the old.. \nDubai is fast catching up though.

I think fashion is clothes, shoes, make-up, and so on.\nHobbies and opinions are about personality, which is a person's unique self style, which includes their clothes, make-up, etc, but also many, many other things. I suppose in some ways hobbies and opinions are related to fashion, but they aren't fashion themselves.\nOpinions are more closely related to politics, too.\nClothes to me: 1) If it's cute, and looks cute on me, 2)For the weather. 3) For my mood.

Yes...and that silly little Paris look-a-like too.\n\n...The one that's managing to get into fashion shows and upgraded airline tickets and such just because she LOOKS like Paris.  Enough is enough.

Apparently about the time of the Paris fashion change from full dresses with multiple petticoats to “directoire” or the sheath dresses.  This was in the late 1890’s or early 1900’s.  By 1908, they were in Chicago.  NYC probably saw them earlier.\nSee the reference below:

I think you are talking about the high fashion world.  It just so happens that we live in a culture where we are bombarded with images of fame and wealth.  People tend to see fashion as a means of connecting to "higher classes", or showing off the class they are in.  This is the reason designers can cater to the wealthy and have so much success making cheaper products for the rest of the consumers.  Jane Celebrity can wear a $10,000 dress from Dior.  Jane Normal can buy some Dior sunglasses for $150 and somehow feel like she's part of that world.  \n\nBut fashion in general is influenced by many things in each culture.  Not all fashion is high fashion.  It can be related to culture/religion, class, societal expectations (ie, here we're expected to cover up), climate, availability of resources, occupation (jeans were first made for sailors, then workers), even politics.  Fashion can be very important.  It has a purpose and conveys a message upon first glance.

Paris has a milder climate because of the North Atlantic Drift.
