From Avianca’s street-style feature AmsterdamIn some cities, urban life, architecture and even the colour of the façades shape the way people dress. In Amsterdam, close-fitting silhouettes and the browns and ochres of the houses mix with practical clothes made for cycling.

From Avianca’s street-style feature TokyoTokyo is crowded, yet its fashion celebrates the individual. Among countless options, a few strong trends stand out: kawaii, tunics and floral-print kimonos that revive traditional aesthetics such as wabi-sabi and ikebana.

From Avianca’s street-style feature Buenos AiresIn recent years the Argentine capital has become a reference point for Latin American feminism, a movement that has reached women’s fashion. Green, purple and orange are now the colours of the designers of the moment.

From Avianca’s street-style feature DubaiIn the most visited city of the United Arab Emirates, less is not more. The quality and trends of Europe’s best-known designers meet traditional garments such as the chapan, the abaya and the kaftan.
