TORONTO--(Marketwire - March 2, 2011) - With awards season still buzzing and fashion weeks making their rounds, it is very much the season to be style conscious. The last few years have seen new designers from more obscure destinations go head to head with fashion's old favourites in Milan, Paris, New York and London, putting not only their clothing, but also their places of origin in the spotlight. Cheapflights.ca, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, explores the Top 10 Emerging Fashion Destinations that are hotspots in both the travel world and the fashion world.
Below are five destinations to make the list that are also celebrating their respective Fashion Weeks in the upcoming months:
- Cleveland, Ohio -- Who would have thought it? When Fashion Week in the USA comes up it's always New York that springs to mind, but Cleveland has its very own Fashion Week Cleveland (FWC) taking place in the first week of May, timed in between New York and Los Angeles' industry events. Established in 2002 by the Cleveland Fashion Institute, the event showcases some of the hottest new designers from across the country, and comes complete with plenty of glam in the form of parties, lectures, runway shows, and special events.

- Sydney, Australia -- Australia's oldest and most instantly recognizable city is very much 'a la mode' not only for sightseeing and social culture, but also for style. Having produced designers like Collette Dinnigan, whose garments (and prices) certainly rank at the couture level, the city also plays host to the continent's fashion week, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW), which takes places from May 2-6 2011. Famous Aussie X Factor judge Danni Minogue is also a huge advocate of fashion and Australian fashion in particular, showing off her countrymen's talents at red carpet events.

- Tokyo, Japan -- Japan's love for fashion needs no introduction with Tokyo posing as one of the East's fashion hubs, hosting Japan's Fashion Week, which this year takes place from March 18 - 25, 2011. With couturiers like Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto ranking among the style heavyweights, the country continues to produce more widely popular designers such as Junya Watanabe and Rei Kawakubo. Much like the country itself, Japanese style tends to be modern, cutting edge, quirky, sleek, and elegant. Search and compare cheap flights to Tokyo.
- Dubai -- More known for glitzy hotels, wild nights out, and miles of beaches, Dubai has also been making a name for itself as a shopping destination in the last few years. The destination hosts its own Dubai Fashion Week, taking place April 19 - 23, 2011, as well as housing some of the best shopping to be found anywhere. Apart from beautiful local markets that are particularly famous for gold and silver jewellery, it's also home to giant shopping malls that contain some of the world's most famous department stores including Galleries Lafayette from Paris, Saks Fifth Avenue from the US, Harvey Nichols from the UK, and an absolute ton of quirky, independent designers from all over the world. Search and compare cheap flights to Dubai.
- Toronto, Ontario -- Canada's largest city is trendy, cosmopolitan and has been attracting both tourists and immigrants from all over the world for centuries. Featuring its very own international hubs in the form of Chinatown and Little Greece, it's also hugely famous within the film world for its plethora of screen legends and the increasingly popular Toronto International Film Festival. So, it's not surprising that it should follow suit in the fashion stakes hosting LG Fashion Week, the second largest Fashion Week in North America, which takes place from March 28 through April 2, 2011. This year's lineup promises talent in the form of Pink Tartan, Rudsak and Joe Fresh Style. Search and compare cheap flights to Toronto.
