56 Beloved American Restaurants That Have Closed Their Doors

Fashion Café was a restaurant chain that was based in NYC. It had locations around the world, including in the U.K., Mexico, South Africa, and Spain, in addition to American locations. There were five in total. Fashion Café was backed by some of the biggest supermodels of the time, including Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, and Elle Macpherson.

Like All-Star Café, the brand would go out of business. It was founded in 1995 and went defunct four years later. The founders, Tommaso and Francesco Buti, were later found to have committed several crimes. They were charged with wire fraud and stolen property transportation, and the case is still ongoing.
