The World's Leading Cities for Fashion
The places with a disproportionate impact on what gets made, admired, and sold.
Fashion week kicked off in New York City this week. And shoppers in cities across the world celebrated Fashion’s Night Out yesterday. So it’s a good time to look at the world's leading cities for fashion and fashion design, places with a disproportionate impact on what gets made, admired, and sold.
The Global Language Monitor (GLM), a media-analytics company based in Austin, Texas, released this year’s rankings for the top fashion capitals of the world yesterday (see the table below). GLM’s rankings track language usage from the Internet, blogs, and news media, as well as social media platforms such as Twitter.
