LONDON
Home of both the monarchy and punk rock, London is a city of contradictions. These competing strains of traditionalism and innovation mean that visitors get the best of both worlds, from contemporary classics (it perfumer Jo Malone home town) to cutting-edge everything (music, food, fashion)
PARIS
The world fashion capitol shows no sign of relinquishing its crown, consistently putting a stylish stamp on everything from organic restaurants to fine jewelry. Always evolving within its rich historical setting, Paris more than lives up to
le hype
Milan
Try telling a resident of Milano that a certain Gallic metropolis is the world fashion capitol. The results will be not so bella, for the simple reason that the city takes its "chic" very, very seriously. The benefits of this obsession will be obvious to anyone who loves to shop. From classics like Armani and Acqua di Parma, to quirky designer boutiques, Milan is a retail paradise, and we e got the keys to the kingdom
NEW ORLEANS
Most visitors to New Orleans make a beeline for the enchanting, yet tourist-clogged, French Quarter. Nawlins residents know better, and cross Canal Street to sample the vibe in the CBD, or Central Business District
LOS ANGELES
On any given day, your typical Angeleno is busy dealing with the pool boy, the lawn boy, and the valet-parking attendant. But in downtown L.A., in an area comprising Little Tokyo, Chinatown, the Fashion District, and the Old Bank District, young creative types drawn by the urban aesthetic are flocking to live, gallery-hop, and party
SAN FRANCISCO
You may leave your heart in this beautiful city of steep hills and streetcars, but you e sure to come away with bursting shopping bags and lasting memories
SHANGHAI
Shanghai is China largest city, and its most cosmopolitan. Already renown as a fashion mecca (with more department stores and shopping centers than even the most intrepid ista could cover), Shanghai also lays claim to a happening nightlife, with new and innovative restaurants and bars cropping up daily
BERCELONA
Barrrrrcelona! Even the name sounds like a party, conjuring up images of sunny skies, outdoor cafes, and crowded tapas bars. And, with new shops and hot spots opening as fast as you can say Antonio Gaudi (the architect whose exuberant style has become synonymous with the city unbridled enthusiasm) the festivities show no sign of winding down. Here are some highlights from the (other) city that never sleeps.
PHILADELPHIA
Forget the Liberty Bell, the hottest attraction in Philadelphia is Center City, its newly revitalized downtown area. Centered around architect Rafael Vinoly block-long, glass and brick, $265 million Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the area has become a cultural mecca where once desolate blocks of offices and banks house gorgeous hotels, welcoming bistros, and, of course,
great shops
