New York top global fashion capital, Delhi ranked 22nd

New York has been named the top global fashion capital, edging out Paris and London in an annual ranking that has Delhi in the 22th spot and Mumbai 45th.
Los Angeles, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, Sydney, Antwerp, and Shanghai complete the top 10 in Global Language Monitor's (GLM) 10th Annual Survey.
Delhi was placed 48th last year and Mumbai 38th.
Berlin consolidated its position, while Antwerp completed it steady climb, Sydney had a triumphal return, and Shanghai returns to what many consider its rightful place in the Top Ten, the GLM said.
Asia was well represented with Tokyo (11), Singapore (19), and Hong Kong (20) in the Top 20.

"New York City has, indeed, earned its Top Global Fashion Capital ranking through its disciplined, methodical yet creative approach to its fashion industry," said Bekka Payack, GLM's fashion director.
The ranking is based upon GLM's Narrative Tracking technology which analyses the Internet, blogosphere, the top 250,000 print and electronic news media, as well as new social media sources such as Twitter as they emerge.
The words, phrases and concepts are tracked in relation to their frequency, contextual usage and appearance in global media outlets.
