Shopping is always fun, but every girl should learn the difference between shopping in a mall in America and walking down the Champs Elysee's in Paris.  This winter I got the opportunity to experience shopping in the streets of London and Paris while remarking the difference in style between each country.

London is home to one of my favorite store in the world, Harrods. The experience of shopping in a department store like Harrod's is definitely grander than shopping in an American equivalent. The store is huge and you can find anything from Madame Tusssaud's wax sculptures to Steinway pianos.  Everything is beautifully arranged including the golden escalators inspired by Ancient Egypt.  When I think of London, I think of the classic woman in a Burberry trench coat and umbrella (mainly it rains so often). London is also home to the Victoria and Albert Museum, which has a great collection of historical clothes from each fashion capital, and avant-garde creations by current London fashion students.  

Paris is another fashion capital known for its haute couture fashion houses and glorious shopping streets. I find that women in Paris always look chic and put-together.  Parisians also take more chances with their shocking designs. The only John Galliano store in the world is located in Paris and carries such outrageous (and expensive) clothes that I was asked a worker about who actually shops there. She said that there are a few extravagant women in Paris who are loyal customers. All the designer stores had amazing window displays, especially my favorite design house, Chanel. I think the major difference is that while Americans like to look comfortable and cute, French women always try to look classy.

As a fashion student, it is important to see the design influences from around the world.   Can't hop a plane to Europe?  Try picking up a foreign fashion magazine!
