Cultural and Fashion Events Around The World: August Edition

August is a month with not much happening in the Cultural or Fashion scene.  This is the month when many people in Europe take their vacation.  Mayor cities like Paris become empty when their denizens take off to the plages or country side Perhaps something not too bad for a tourist that prefers to stroll the streets of Paris solo, like we did two summers ago.  In America, however there is no such thing as taking a month-long vacation… yet still we prefer to say outdoors and enjoy the warm weather as long as we can.

For those who still prefer to head inside during those very hot afternoons, here are a few interesting fashion and cultural events around the world available this month, from fashion to Arts, and to take a look at those events that are trailing from past months you can go here.
