美国的咖啡馆

美国第一家咖啡馆是1691年在波士顿开业的伦敦咖啡馆(London

CoffeeHouse)。后来世界上最大的咖啡专卖店也诞生在波士顿，它成立

于1808年，不幸的是10年之后毁于一场大火。

如今的美国咖啡馆有其独特的形式和氛围，像美国流行的快餐文化一样，

美国的咖啡馆大多也体现了一种美国社会的快节奏的生活方式。

纽约时装周

纽约时装周与巴黎、米兰、伦敦时装周并称全球四大时装周，每年举办

两次，2月份举办当年秋冬时装周，9月份举办次年的春夏时装周。近几年，

纽约时装周一直得到梅赛德斯一奔驰汽车公司的冠名赞助，因此又被称为

“梅赛德斯一奔驰纽约时装周”。

举办初期，纽约时装周以展示美国设计师的设计为主，因为他们的设计

一直被专业时装报道所忽视。有趣的是，时装买家最初不被允许观看时装

秀，他们只能到设计师的展示间去参观。
