London

What I admire most about London, England as a whole, and consequently its fashion is the sense of history.  One thing I notice when I have been to London is the juxtaposition and layers of old and new prevalent everywhere one looks.  While this exists in New York, it does not quite have the same span as London.  For example, Alexander McQueen's most recent collection could not have been designed by and American as we do not have that history to draw upon.

The other thing London has a history of, is being on the forefront of fashion, as in the 60s.  I think even today, while press and other fashion viewers overlook London and have a hard time characterizing it, there is a freedom about the environment that in fact, might produce some designers that are ahead of the curve.
