Geography is very important when it comes to fashion - some cities have become incredibly famous for just being associated with the industry. Take Paris for example; Paris has become one of the top fashion locations in the world. Many world-famous designers have set up showrooms, fashion houses or their headquarters in the city. These include Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin and Chloe.

The Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris has become one of the most famous 'upscale' shopping streets in the world. People fly from every location in the world just to shop on this famous street. Due to the high level of shoppers on this street, many stores chose to locate shops there. These include Europe's largest GAP, Sephora, Cartier and in 2011, Abercrombie & Fitch is planning on opening a flag-ship store there.

Due to the large number of shops located in Paris, they employ a huge number of people to work in them. The population of Paris proper is 12 million and is one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
