Paris , France – It’s that time of the year again when publications around the world release their year-end lists of “the best this” and “the worst that”. The editors at TheFashionInsider.com have gotten together to compose their own list of the most memorable moments which have or will change our industry in some way or another.

We have put together a list of fourteen such moments and events.
