The grand finale of the \u201cbig four\u201d fashion capitals, it caps a month-long circuit from New York to London to Milan and, finally, Paris.<\/p>\n<p>For fashion enthusiasts, the hierarchy is clear. \u201cLondon is more like personal and niche brands, and Paris is more international, bigger brands,\u201d blogger Elizabeth, who only gave us her first name, told POLITICO on the sidelines of the runway. \u201cBoth have their benefits.

Some London designers have chosen other cities to present their collections, just because there\u2019s more exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texting in from New York, stylist Alissar Wynn, who has worked for brands like Louis Vuitton and Stella McCartney, said: \u201cPost-Brexit, very few designers show there. If I wasn\u2019t in the industry, I wouldn&#8217;t even be able to tell you when London Fashion Week was because I can\u2019t say that it has a massive impact on the city or tourism. In Paris, you can&#8217;t even enter Hotel Costes, there are so many people there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As major staples like Victoria Beckham and Vivienne Westwood opt to show in Paris, and the U.K. grapples with the fallout of scrapping tax-free shopping, critics point to Brexit\u2019s lasting toll on the nation\u2019s fashion industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yet beneath all the gloss, critics in the crowds pointed to the city\u2019s waning fashion influence, and were&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[802,748,2437,8514,34,2000,299,5187,1699,1214,36,4884,730,9890,806,8175,43,2927,809,46,9891,363,6506,1199,1200,1201,6862,16,15,9892,9893],"class_list":{"0":"post-14308","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-brexit","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-companies","11":"tag-customs","12":"tag-emmanuel-macron","13":"tag-eu","14":"tag-europe","15":"tag-european","16":"tag-european-union","17":"tag-exports","18":"tag-france","19":"tag-great-britain","20":"tag-india","21":"tag-industrial-strategy","22":"tag-industry","23":"tag-labor","24":"tag-macron","25":"tag-milan","26":"tag-negotiations","27":"tag-policy","28":"tag-referendum","29":"tag-retail","30":"tag-saudi-arabia","31":"tag-services","32":"tag-tax","33":"tag-trade","34":"tag-trade-agreements","35":"tag-uk","36":"tag-united-kingdom","37":"tag-vat","38":"tag-vivienne-westwood"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114326172022582966","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
