Can’t get enough of Fashion Week or just style in general? Come visit the cities where fashion magic happens every day. Whether you take a two week summer euro-trip to the fashion capitals of Europe or spend a few days in New York, it’s definitely important to travel in style. So, Let’s hire a car this summer and travel in style to these popular fashion capitals of the world:
Milan
Milan is known as the Quadrilatero d’Oro (the golden rectangle) of fashion for a good reason. Some of world’s most famous fashion and jewelry boutiques are located right in the heart of the city. To see some of the best creations and Italian designers, visit Via Monte Napoleone, Via Alessandro Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, streets that you can’t miss on a fashion-filled euro-trip. The most opulent avenue, Via Monte Napoleone makes fashionista dreams come true. It is considered one of the most expensive and prestigious streets in the world, where you’ll find luxurious brands like Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Dolce and Gabana and Prada.

Paris
Get ready to hit Champ Elysées and shop til’ you drop. It’s no secret that Paris is the fashion capital of haute couture and prestigious brands. Labels like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hugo Boss, Chanel, Kenzo, Ralph Lauren and Versace grace Paris’ golden triangle. After a little bit of retail therapy, don’t forget to visit Coco Chanel’s fabulous apartment or the Musée de la Mode et du Textile, a must-see museum that includes the works of Azzedine Alaïa, Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Jeanne Lanvin, Paco Rabanne, and Yves Saint Laurent.

London
Prepare to be spoiled with luxury department stores in London. This city literally has it all. First, head to the Knightsbridge retail district, to explore the world-famous Harrods and Harvey Nichols a short walk away from the iconic Hyde Park. Then, if you’re into high street brands, visit Oxford Street and Regent Street to do a massive shopping spree. Find popular stores here like Uniqlo, Zara, H&M and Urban Outfitters. Prefer quirky, personal boutiques to the hustle and bustle of the high street? Visit Celestine Eleven in Shoreditch, Machine-A in Soho or Dover Street Market in Mayfair to find some of the best emerging and niche designers in London.

Barcelona
Barcelona is every die-hard fashionista’s dream come true. Barcelona’s fashion flare begins on the famous Passeig de Gràcia, a street dedicated to the city’s high society with designer brands from Yves Saint Laurent to Alexander Wang. If you’re tired of shopping (which you’ll probably never be), check out another sweet spot; the Design Museum of Barcelona. A visit here will open your eyes to the process of design. Learn about space design, product design, information design and, last but not least, fashion design. Next, visit Barcelona’s Textile and Clothing Museum. Here, you’ll find an extensive collection of fashion from ancient times and older eras. Admire corsets, dresses and tunics from neoclassic baroque and Modernist eras.

New York City
New York City rivals Paris as the premier fashion capital of the world and it’s easy to see why. A good place to start is on New York’s famous Fifth Avenue. Your trip here may be a bit indulgent, but it’s your vacation. So, treat yourself! On Fifth Ave., you’ll find high-end stores like Tiffany and Co., Louis Vuitton, Versace and Prada, plus popular stores with cheaper prices like Abercrombie and Fitch or Gap. When your finished shopping, head to the Metropolitan Museum, the largest museum in the United States with a wondrous collection of iconic fashion. You’ll see more than 80,000 costumes and accessories from five continents, making it the largest collection of its kind in the world. Fashionistas can get an up close look at a 1620s French doublet and a 1927 House of Chanel coat.

Berlin
Berlin definitely doesn’t have Parisian haute couture or Milan’s luxury artisan brands. But nonetheless, it still has its unique fashion flare. Venture through some of Berlin’s hippest neighborhoods and find young, trendy locals take hipster, grunge and nineties sub-culture fashion to the next level. A flea market at Arkonaplatz on Sundays is the perfect place to see this. You’ll find eclectic styles, great vintage clothing and amazing jewelry too. Check out Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Neukölln neighborhoods for even more artsy, alternative vibes.

From the Grammy’s to the Oscar’s, celebrities strut down Hollywood’s red carpet every year sporting elegant long Givenchy gowns, Yves Saint Laurent belts and short chic Versace dresses. Fashionistas can shop the afternoon away in the Los Angeles Fashion District, which spans more than 100 blocks in the heart of the city. You can literally spend days exploring every corner. As the hub of L.A.’s fashion industry, this district features more than 2,000 independently-owned retail and wholesale businesses, plus the vibrant Santee Alley.
