Why is Paris the fashion world’s center? There are several causes, many of which go back to the 18th century, even if it may be claimed that Paris’ dominance in the fashion world began far earlier. While it suffered a setback during World War II, it quickly recovered and has since become a mainstay among fashionistas.

Fashion was significantly impacted by the wartime economy, the shift in population demographics, the growing domestic economy (with more people working), and the increase in female employment.
