The World's Most Fashionable Cities - How Did Yours Rank?
Did your city make the most stylish list? Photo: Image Source
That is, according to the just released Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands Index report that ran on Forbes.com.
The report is the result of surveying 10,000 people from 20 countries and asking them to rank 50 different cities based on their stylishness (factors include multiculturalism, nightlife and general buzziness).
Of the esteemed Top Ten, the "fashion capitals" rounded out the coveted 1-4 spots: Milan, New York, and London -- in that order -- following Paris. Not a huge surprise. But the rest of the list was what we were really interested in.
Rome ranked #5, Los Angeles #6, Tokyo #7, Madrid #8, San Francisco #9, and Barcelona held up the rear.
With West Coast designers pumping fresh new blood into the American fashion scene (not to mention Silicon Valley's contribution of the iPhone to the world!), we're happy to see that La La Land and SanFran make the cut.
But what do you think? Did the respondents get it right? What's your take on the Top Ten Stylish Cities? (Austin, speak up!)

1. our blondes are legendary
2. Northpark (we have a Warhol, don't tell me this isn't the nicest mall you've ever experienced!) and the Galleria.
3. SMU students are stylish beyond their years
4. the city is teeming with illustrious boutiques
5. birthplace and headquarters of God's gift to fashionistas, NEIMAN MARCUS
6.diversity
while i appreciate your shout out to the lone star state, i must object to your suggestion of Austin as "most fashionable". The capital city should be considered a great place to live, a great place to go to school , enviromentally friendly, a place to eat fabulous food, and the live music capital of the world, but it is far too granola and indie rock (rather than boho chic) to be considered "most fashionable".
