And in that neighbourhood, what is the most fashionable street? And which is the most fashionable end of that street? And what is the most fashionable shop/residence on that most fashionable end of the most fashionable street of the most fashionable neighbourhood of the most fashionable city in the world?

WOW!

This must be since its (largely, but not completely) unfair entry on Chavtowns.uk.

I like this question! If there can be several "most fashionables", I'd nominate:

Tokyo
Ura-Harajuku
Cat Street
The Omote Sando end
Crayon House

New York
Williamsburg
Bedford Avenue
The where the N streets turn into S streets
Supercore

Berlin
Prenzlauer Berg
Oderberger Strasse
The section between Kastanien Alle and Mauerpark
Kauf Dich Glucklich

They were so last summer, Momus. The real most fashionable place in the world is far too cool to post onto this thread, because loads of you losers would probably move there and blow the whole thing.

Paris - Le Marais

if you're going to say Williamsburg, you have to push it away from Bedford, because everyone knows bedford is way over. I'd say north of mccaren park over by Enids.

but the coolest neighborhood in nyc is sunnyside.

Bushwick is the new East Village

Jack: Well, I own a house in Belgrave Square, but it is let by the year to Lady Bloxham. Of course, I can get it back whenever I like, at six months’ notice.
Lady Bracknell: Lady Bloxham? I don’t know her.
Jack: Oh, she goes about very little. She is a lady considerably advanced in years.
Lady Bracknell: Ah, nowadays that is no guarantee of respectability of character. What number in Belgrave Square?
Jack: 149.
Lady Bracknell: (shaking her head) The unfashionable side. I thought there was something. However, that could easily be altered.
Jack: Do you mean the fashion, or the side?

Lady Bracknell: (sternly) Both, if necessary, I presume. What are your politics?

Paris
Canal St Martin

when i lived there my housemate's boyfriend (artist/musician) was rather pleased with their ability to stay ahead of the game because since the mid 90s they'd moved from bastille to oberkampf to the 10e near canal saint martin and the rue st maur. I miss that place..

Surely the answer is Milan???? Beyond that, though, or inside that, I have no idea.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 10 June 2006 04:29 (nineteen years ago)

I think the fashionable neighborhood of Milan is called the fashion district? Though the Williamsburg/Canal St martin of Milan is Navigli?

what is the most fashionable neighborhood in montreal?

― duff (duff), Saturday, 10 June 2006 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

The above shop reminds me of Fish & Chips in Antwerp. Kammenstraat is s'posedly the trendiest street there? Well, for young teenagers anyway.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Saturday, 10 June 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

I live in a small town, so any city neighborhood that I think of as "fashionable" is automatically unfashionable. I can be like Leech on Xmen, sucking the fashionable powers out of city neighborhoods simply by showing up there.
