Even if you think that Paris still the fashion capital of the world, give your hand-brain a second thought because New York kicked Paris title as the fashion City.
New York was on Wednesday named as the world’s top fashion city for the fourth consecutive year, according to a survey by a U.S.-based language use group.
The Global Language Monitor, a non-profit group that tracks words and phrases in the media, on the Internet and throughout the blogosphere, compiles an annual list of the top fashion cities.
New York ousted Paris as the leader in the list four years ago, leaving the French capital jostling with London, Rome, and Milan for the other top positions in the list.
This year, Rome beat out the others for second place with Paris coming in third position, followed by Milan and London. Hong Kong was rated the top fashion city in South Asia, coming in 8th position overall.
Other notable rankings included Shanghai at number 14, Sydney and Melbourne at numbers 12 and 15 respectively, and the fashion quartet of South America — Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Palo, and Buenos Aires.
Krakow, one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland, made it to No. 25, apparently because of its emerging status as a centre of neo-Bohemian influence.
