LA makes pop culture but London is by far and away the aspiration city for those on the make. NYC doesn't enter into it. All over the world everybody aspires to be an English gentleman. Rich New Yorkers essentially try to emulate a rich Englishman but never manage. A Savile Row suit is still the gold standard and London sets all the high end fashion trends.
- mturmon 12y ago"London sets all the high end fashion trends" Come on, now. Paris? Milan?
- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoBy "high end" I mean what real, successful people actually wear, not runway nonsense. Italian tailoring on a man is a bit ridiculous in most places.
- nostrademons 12y agoWhen I look at what real, successful people actually wear, it usually consists of ripped jeans and faded T-shirts. Occasionally pajamas or assless chaps. My perspective may be warped by the Bay Area though. (Which is kind of my point - who defines who "real, successful people" are? The folks I see rollerblading here have billions of dollars more than even high society folks in London or Paris.)
- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoVery rich people in the bay area are not successful by popular standards. At the end of the day they are still fat nerds with lame interests and nobody cares, no matter how much money they make. This is what the world aspires to: http://cdn.ltstatic.com/2012/June/GJ406062_942long.jpg http://cdn.ltstatic.com/2012/June/GJ406062_942long.jpg
- mturmon 12y ago...who defines what... Exactly. That's the whole problem with the sweeping statements here. It's good we have different cities with different styles and sensibilities. And it's usually silly to say one is "best."
