“…Thus, a city emerges where tensions turn into harmony and contrasts turn into wealth. Eventually, urban tourism has been studied in terms of tourism and tourist types (Andersson, 2017;Lazzeretti, Capone & Casadei, 2017), events (Liberato et al, 2020), smart cities (Cohen & Hopkins, 2019;Kwag, Hur & Ko, 2021;Mo & Ren, 2021), branding and image (Ferrucci, et al, 2017;Bobo, Mudombi & Gopo, 2021) and covid-19 (Aldao, et al, 2021;Li, et al, 2021).…”

Being a traveler’s city is about understanding travelers’ behavior and experiences. This makes it easier to know who is going to visit a city and why. In this context, this study explores the attractions that transform travelers’ experiences into memorable travel experiences in urban tourism destinations. However, the research’s contributions are mainly for cities aiming to become urban tourism destinations. The study was conducted with urban tourism, urban travelers, and memorable travel experience concepts. Interviews were conducted with 79 travelers in two European cities (Prague and Berlin), two Asian cities, (Kyoto and Busan), and a bridge city between Asia and Europe (Istanbul). Hence, the main attractions were determined. As a result, architecture, cultural heritage, art, pedestrian orientation, trust in locals, flavor varieties, transportation, nightlife, events, ethnic districts, low-cost opportunities, shopping markets, lively/vibrant atmosphere, and freer districts emerged as attractions that transform travelers’ experiences into memorable travel experiences. These attractions also may transform urban experiences into memorable travel experiences for all visitor groups.

“…Although of the four global fashion capitals Milan perhaps remains the most embedded in a regional manufacturing complex, the city's shift towards symbolic production has provided space for Florence to develop its own reputation as a distinctive kind of fashion manufacturing city (Segre Reinach 2006; Capone and Lazzeretti, 2016; Lazzeretti et al . 2017; Lazzeretti and Capone, 2019).…”

In recent years, local governments and academic researchers have drawn increasing attention to the idea of the fashion city as a strategic factor for urban economic growth. In addition to renowned fashion capitals, second‐tier cities of fashion have proliferated, giving rise to a large heterogeneity of centres of production, design, consumption and culture. Despite its rising popularity, however, the concept of the fashion city is still weakly codified, and only simplistic tool‐kit strategies have been adopted to transform cities into contemporary fashion hubs. Drawing upon Weber's ideal‐type approach, this intervention develops an analytical framework for thinking about the diverse nature of fashion's relation with cities. The search for the elusive singular fashion city is replaced by three ideal types—the ‘manufacturing fashion city’, the ‘design fashion city’ and the ‘symbolic fashion city’—which can be used as a heuristic device to trigger debate about the distinctive characteristics of fashion centres and speculate about future developmental pathways. The essay stimulates critical reflection on the different kinds of positioning that fashion takes in urban economies and the developmental pathways of different forms of fashion city formations.

“…Brisbane's historic reputation for poor dress culture points to the demand-side perspective of the 'symbolic fashion city' discussed by Lazzeretti et al (2017). Brisbane's retail backdrop for local designers has been ruptured by the exit of many independent boutiques (Tuite, 2019).…”

“…The Global Language Monitor (GLM, 2017: 1) has ranked global fashion capitals since 2007, identifying 63 ‘established and emerging centres of fashion’ across the globe by tracking citations in worldwide media, academic research and reports. Breward and Gilbert (2006) also add consumption and consumers to the definitions that typify a fashion city, while Lazzeretti et al (2017: 207) identify two forms of fashion cities with: ‘a supply-side perspective, which defines a fashion city as a “manufacturing fashion city” based on its physical image and presence of a garment industry and a demand-side perspective, which deploys the term “symbolic fashion city” in line with its virtual image and new information and communication technologies’. While many authors have defined fashion cities (Benjamin, 2002; Breward and Gilbert, 2006; O’Neill, 2007; Steele, 2017), Casadei and Gilbert (2018) argue that there is not a single model of the fashion city.…”

Independent fashion designers in the elusive fashion city

This article examines the cultural geography of fashion cities, focusing on independent fashion designers’ relationships with their city. Through discussing the Australian city of Brisbane and its place within the hierarchy of fashion cities, we examine the position of modern yet peripheral locations that have what we term an ‘elusive’ fashion identity. The discussion highlights the complexities that make a city a fashion city, specifically the interplay between industry, culture, retail and design, commonly identified as fundamental elements in the construction or transformation of fashion cities. The paper unravels the dynamics and discourses that have contributed to the contemporary conceptualisation of the fashion city; it evaluates the way in which local independent fashion designers (IFDs) can contribute to a reorientation of thinking about cities and their fashion; and it gauges how IFDs sustain a local fashion identity within cities that do not present the commonly recognised characteristics of a fashion city such as infrastructures. We argue that IFDs in peripheral cities have a very different relationship with their city than do IFDs in so-called fashion cities. By examining this relationship, and Brisbane’s modestly placed position on fashion cities’ hierarchy, we propose that, except for the traditional fashion centres, other cities are in a constant state of flux, arguing that the concept of the fashion city itself is elusive. We propose that as cities experience fashion narratives that ebb and flow, they may present multiple characteristics that make them unique at a particular moment, thus they are ‘elusive’ fashion cities.
