New York Fashion: How it is Still the Fashion Capital

New York has been synonymously associated with glamour and fashion. Since time immemorial, New York has become a hub of fashion designers, models and stars who strut their formal wear in the different movie premiers and award ceremonies. Today, the fashion industry is alive and well. With the different people's style, New York is truly in par with Paris, Milan and Tokyo.

Fashion has evolved in different decades. There are developments in fashion in whatever time you look at. During the 70s, it is undeniable that it is a break in every person's shell. It was the age when being hip is cool. It was the day when disco was at its peak and punk is at its height of popularity. These musical influences paved way and went hand in hand in creating a norm when it comes to the fashion of their time.

By the time the 80s made its way and supplanted the 70s, people started looking retro.

With the glam rock that hit the stage; though it was dubbed as the worst era in music, a lot of people dressed like rock stars. With spray net and the colorful and flashy attire; most of the youth during this decade became what we recognize now as the lady gaga fashion sense.

When the 90s ended the reign of the glam rockers; grunge became the alternative music to the long 80s decade. Grunge, similar to punk's rebel yell attitude; made their torn down jeans and their black shirts the epitome of what Kurt Cobain was. With the height of this music genre, it also ended right after Cobain died and so did the fashion sense that it carried.

New Millennia's first decade is very unproductive in terms of fashion. What it did was to revive the trends of the past. From how people brought their shorts up during the 80s; people today are doing the same. With the gypsy look of the 70s; the present day kids are also ripping it all off. And who knows what they could think of next.

The point is, in every generation people will dress differently. But there are things in fashion that can never change. For example, if you are wearing a custom made suit; that suit can still be worn three to four years from now! There are some things that should be treated with elegance and timelessness. This is the reason why some gowns worn by female artists are tailored made similar to the 1920s cocktail dress.

Tailors in NJ and NY are the best when it comes to the creation of dresses and men's suits. NJ is now following the lead of NY maybe because of its proximity to NY. And it could be possible that it already adapted the system of designs by the custom tailors in NY. New York wouldn't be called as the world's fashion capital if not for the complex and well made dress shirts of NY designers and tailors. With the different elegant attire, tailored suits in NY and their cocktail dresses; the title for the city may be there to last.
