Rome, the new Paris?

For a very long time Rome has always been on the back burner to Milan. Milan is known for their ready-to-wear fashion while Rome is known for their haute couture. Milan's ready-to-wear fashion consists of popular names like Versace, Armani,and Prada. Rome's haute couture consists of couturiers like Sorelle Fontana, Gattioni, Renato Balestra. With Rome consisting of names like this it may soon become a rival city to Paris as the couture capital of Europe. As a result of Rome becoming such a large contributor to the world of fashion there are many fashion shows in the summer to not only highlight fashion, but cinema, and TV to enhance the worldwide image of Rome as a whole. One of the largest fashion events in Rome is the "Donno Sotto le Stelle" show which is an open-air feast for the eyes of any fashionista held on the Spanish Steps. This show is a must see for anyone interested in high fashion.
