I have been up and down the United States, and I've never seen anywhere the level of fashion that I see on a day to day basis in New York City.
I've even seen women in New York City wearing haute couture ($300k+ dresses) I've regularly see men walking around in suits so expensive you wouldn't believe it. I regularly see high fashion, etc. that I've only seen in London, Paris, or Milan. And yes, you can buy
some of it online but something tells me greater New York City commands the greatest chunk of luxury sales on online shops.
And yes, New York City still reigns when it comes to non-luxury fashion. New York has high street brand like TopShop/TopMan, and smaller independent boutiques scattered throughout the city.
I've been to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Dallas Chicago, etc and saw nothing even remotely approaching what I've seen in New York City. And I'm positive you wouldn't find it in Detroit either, LOL.
I'm sorry guys, but you're just not New York.
