New York renamed world’s top fashion capital

New York has reclaimed the title of the world's top fashion capital from Milan but the annual poll suggested the top five fashion cities are seeing competition from Asia and Australia.

New York had reigned as top fashion city for 5 years until Milan took the lead last year in the list compiled by the Global Language Monitor, a U.S. based non-profit group that tracks the frequency of words and phrases in the media, on the Internet and throughout the blogosphere.

But with the U.S. economy recovering, New York once again took the top spot followed by Hong Kong, London, Paris and Los Angeles.

Rounding out the top 10 were Milan, Sydney, Miami, Barcelona and Madrid. Reuters
