Since a few years there is an Annual world Fashion Week held in Amsterdam, and they are actively (and apparently successfully) promoting Dutch fashion to the world. I blame our cultural diversity and integration for that. ^.~

Music industry - Who else would be American, traveling from Amsterdam to London, willing to pay $200 for a newspaper and a dinner, and be dressed in a suit?
