Fashion Capital
By A Special Correspondent
Vienna, Sept. 10, regain her former reputation as the fashion Although Vienna is making a great effort to
capital of Central Europe, foreign tourists who come here comment repeatedly on how poorly dressed the population is compared with the inhabitants of other big cities in Western Europe.
Viennesse fashion designers, endeavouring to compete with their counterparts in Paris, London, and Rome, may claim an increasing number of customers on the international market.
But at home, in Vienna, a survey made by the & ORIENTAL | Austrian Trade Union Federation supports the tourista'
