Why France Will Remain a Force in Fashion

C’est pour toi. Yes. This is dedicated to all the fashion lovers. Enthusiasts of Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent should understand their brand’s origins. Heck, it’s expensive for me to wear, but I can’t deny the impact France has had on the fashion world.

Paris Fashion Week reminded me of its importance. Just seeing everybody from actors, singers, rappers, cultural critics and others in attendance. They are a leader and emphasized the concept of quality over quantity. This dates back to the reign of 15th 15th-century Sun King, Louis XIV. His 72 tenure as monarch boasted an era where the luxury goods industry came under royal control. Establishing the French wealthy as the face of style and taste.

It’s to the point where nowadays people describe themselves as partners of the aforementioned brands based on their clothing. It’s insane but that’s how stylistic the French are. 

Despite competition from cultural centers in New York and London in modern times, many designers still travel to France to learn the ropes of the game. Proving that the country is the de facto fashion capital of the world.

So, whether it’s baba-cool or ready to wear, France is a force to be reckoned with. The sector is expanding, but the world is still paying attention to the chic of France.
