American vs. European Fashion

When discussing the topic of American versus European fashion there is really no comparison. Many people wonder why European fashion week is so different and more extreme than American fashion week. European fashion week is not only a chance for the designers to display their collections for the up coming season but to also show their art and creative side when it comes to wearable art. They like to design not only for the realistic consumer needs but also for visual stun. The couture shows fall into this visually stunning category because it is a show of unlimited artistic and creative ability. The Europeans and some American’s love to see these works of art strut down the runway and flaunt their creativity. American fashion is safer because it is catering to a more practical audience. The collections tend to be more structured in design and tailored in fit.
