Paris Mis-Match



PARIS -- This weekend in the Marais, I came across an Iranian expat and three of his friends, all of whom work in the fashion industry. During a quick chat, we tried to characterize the fashion sense of the inhabitants of a few of our favorite fashion capitals. Here's what we got. Parisians: homogeneous. Londoners: individualistic (within a certain realm). New Yorkers: a tendency to wear their money. On Tehranis, we defer to you. Help us nail it in a word or two. Creative?
