neutral Lancashireman : 'Upscale' certainly does have a ring to it - exclusively North American, I would say. But more importantly, who is 'tony'?

agree Michele Johnson : In this case, I would prefer "upscale fashion" - works better as a header IMO - "Fashion for discriminating tastes" a bit long for a heading in a tourist guide.

exalted tastes

Here is another option!
But I like "discerning tastes" too.
Example sentence:

Mr. Kors has sometimes jazzed up his own collection in New York with gold leather and high slits, but for Celine he kept an exalted taste level, in keeping with Celine's reputation.

Originally reserved for the exalted tastes of royalty, moguls and people with money to burn, certain delicacies such as Beluga caviar, white truffles and Kobe beef have now been paired with dishes of the Everyman.
