Paris might still be the center of fashion, but in the designer top ten, no Frenchman can be found. Top designers are the Japanese Yohji Yamamoto, Turkish Hussein Chalayan, British Vivienne Westwood, African Xuly Bët and German Bernhard Wilhelm.

Bombay is currently India’s major fashion trend setting centre, whose fashion has influenced many youth all over the country. Bombay being the epitomb of Indian fashion, is where you will find the latest brands and fashion in most major malls, fashion outlets and retail clothng chains.
