One of the best parts of traveling is being able to see how different cultures express themselves through the clothes they wear. Even though you can experience local fashion by just sitting on a park bench and doing a bit of people watching, there are also many elite fashion events across the globe year-round. Fashion events are definitely pricier than the free people watching option, but they are not-to-miss events if you ever have the chance to go.
