Global Fashion Week

20070326193056.jpgHave you ever wondered why Pringle of Scotland shows its collection in Milan? Or why Temperley (formerly Temperley London) shows in New York? As fashion weeks grow increasingly globalized, we wonder if the trend for designers to leave their home countries will reverse, especially now that London fashion week has heated up so much. "When you think of Paris you think of Karl Lagerfeld who is not French," Tom Ford told the Independent (U.K.), "And you think of Marc Jacobs who's not French and Stefano Pilati who's Italian." Will Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen return to their homeland next year? Probably not. Being from someplace else will always be more exotic than just being at home.
