时尚之都评选新排名 纽约位居榜首

爱思英语编者按：最新一项有关时尚之都的年度调查表明，今年纽约击败米兰，再次成为世界第一时尚之都，但世界传统五大时尚之都的地位正受到亚洲和澳大利亚城市的挑战。纽约再次登顶该榜，香港屈居亚军、伦敦、巴黎和洛杉矶位居其后。排在前十位的其它几个城市还包括米兰、悉尼、迈阿密、巴塞罗那和马德里。

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 five years until Milan took the lead last year in the list compiled by the Global Language Monitor, a US 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 US 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.

"As the global fashion industry adjusted to the new economic reality, New York rebounded to the No. 1 spot it has now held for six of the last seven years," said Bekka Payack, the Manhattan-based fashion correspondent for the Global Language Monitor.

"This year's list of the top fashion capitals, shows the global fashion industry remaining in flux, with the relative decline of some of the previously leading players and formerly regional players emerging as significant new influences."更多信息请访问：http://www.engbus.cn/

She said that in perhaps a harbinger of things to come, this was the first analysis where the traditional big five fashion cities -- New York, Paris, London, Milan, and Rome -- did not dominate the global fashion scene.

The biggest movers in the list were Hong Kong, Madrid and Melbourne.

The group said that the top newcomers to the expanded list included Amsterdam at number 17, Cape Town and Johannesburg at 23 and 25 respectively and Vienna at No. 27.
