Follow-up: Inches Overseas

Europeans measure the strangest things with inches:
... wearing six-inch heels confirm ... with four inches becoming the norm ... wore a five-inch-high pair ...
Does America really export that much fashion?

Earlier I posted pictures showing how monitor sizes are still quoted in inches.

What were you doing reading up on the latest trends in high-heels? Didn't know things were getting that bad... :)

I was wondering the same thing...you never did answer Gireeja.

As far as the inches thing goes...it's not at all that America export much fashion (hell, even 'good' American fashion designers are basically unheard of). The truth is that America is a huge importer of fashion. Oh, and most self-proclaimed "critics" are American.
