  A fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week that allows fashion designers or “houses” to display their latest collections. Runway shows are typically the highlight of fashion week. The most prominent fashion weeks are held in the fashion capitals of Paris, London, New York and Milan. Recently, fashion weeks sprang up around the globe to draw attention to designers, buyers for major stores, the media, celebrities, and members of the entertainment industry. In years past, fashion weeks were predominantly for “the trade only”; however, today they’re entertainment and media events.

  Cutting edge? Maybe. Essential? Not until this year. But London Fashion Week is back in style. Not necessarily because of the clothes and the catwalk, but because it swapped dates with New York, which was scheduled to hold shows this week.

  And it could be a good thing for London too. Since it’s acting as a curtain raiser to new styles, it means an unprecedented list of A-list buyers and powerful fashion critics. American Vogue’s ultra-fashionable editor-and-chief, Anna Wintour, is attending the shows after a three-year gap. Before that, she skipped it for a decade. And she said: “We have a very large budget that we dedicate to London fashion. I think there’s a very strong scene here, and I think London designers tend to a bit more daring and certainly very individual in their designs which I think is great for a New York customer. Despite the buzz being created by the American press, many say London’s fashion world is a long way off from matching that in Paris or Milan. While London could be known for its creative talent, what is still lacks is commercial clout.

  More generally, coffeehouses became meeting places where business could be carried on, news exchanged and the gazettes read. By 1739 there were 551 coffeehouses in London, including meeting places for Tories and Whigs, people of fashion or the “cits” of the old city center. Coffeehouses were known as gathering places for stockjobbers, merchants and lawyers, booksellers and authors. According to one French visitor, the Abbé Prévost, coffeehouses, “where you have the right to read all the papers for and against the government,” were the “seats of English liberty.”

  At that time ladies were not permitted in coffeehouses. In a well-known engraving of a Parisian coffeehouse of ca. 1700, the gentlemen hang their hats on pegs and sit at long communal tables strewn with papers and writing implements. Coffeepots are ranged at an open fire, with a hanging cauldron of boiling water. The only woman present, is directly separated in a canopied booth, whence she doles out coffee in cups.

  In London, coffeehouses preceded the club of the mid-18^th century, which skimmed away some of the more aristocratic clientele. Lloyd’s of London started in a coffeehouse. Auctions in salesrooms attached to coffeehouses provided the start for the great auction houses of Sotheby’s and Christie’s.

  In New York the Tontine Coffeehouse at the foot of Wall Street near the docks became a central meeting place. In small cities a coffeehouse functioned as a place where messages might be left and picked up. American coffee shops are also often connected with indie, jazzman, and will often have them playing either live or recorded in their shops.

  The word “coffee” entered English in 1598 via Italian caffé, via Turkish kahve, from Arabic qahwah. Its ultimate origin is uncertain, there being several legendary accounts of the origin of the drink. One possible explanation is the Kaffa region in Ethiopia, where the plant originated.

  Coffee shop, or café shares some of the characteristics of a bar, and some of the characteristics of a restaurant. As the name suggests, coffeehouses focus on providing coffee and tea as well as light snacks. In some countries, café may more closely resemble restaurants, offering a range of hot meals, and possibly being licensed to serve alcohol. Since the 16^th century, in Persia, the coffeehouse has reserved as a social gathering place where men assemble to drink coffee or tea, listen to music, play chess, perhaps hear a recitation from the Shahnameh.

  The traditional tale of the origins of Viennese coffeehouse begins from the mysterious sacks of green beans left behind when the Turks were defeated in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. A knowing Turkish-speaking Pole supposedly began the first coffeehouse in Vienna with the hoard.

  Coffeehouses first became popular in Europe upon the introduction of coffee in the 17^th century. The first London coffeehouse opened in Cornhill in 1652; Boston had its first in 1670, and Paris in 1672. Though Charles Ⅱ later tried to suppress them as “places where the disaffected met, and spread scandalous reports concerning the conduct of His Majesty and his Ministers” (a criticism that was accurate—both the French and American revolutions were largely plotted in coffeehouses), the public flocked to them. They were great social levelers, open to all, and as a result associated with equality and republicanism.
