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!)
While other women may dress as a slutty nurse, a slutty witch, or a slutty George Washington for Halloween, a true fashionista knows there are other (better) options out there. Stylelist has a few couture costume ideas so you can have a truly fierce Halloween this year!
Fashion may have "gone ugly," according to the headlines over at Fashion Indie. But, we have to admit we kind of like it. Gone are the days when women dressed solely to impress men. We're now dressing to impress each other and man, that's a tough audience.
He's back, people! After causing a scene at the Agatha Ruiz de La Prada show in Milan a couple of weeks ago, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego -- gay Austrian fashion journalist Bruno -- popped up at the Stella McCartney show in Paris to create a bit of mayhem for the cameras.
Fringe -- designers love it and so do we. This Fall the runways in Milan were filled with fringed accessories and clothes. We were crazy about it all!
Shoes, shoes and more glorious shoes! The best part about fashion week for us isn't the glamorous clothes or the celebritiy sightings -- it's the footwear.
Those who have a ton of discreationary dollars to blow on expensive duds this month, listen up:
Daughter of a Russian "orange juice mogul," (yes, that's straight from the mouth of Wikipedia), Kira Plastinina didn't take long to build her own empire -- in the fashion world. Her showing at Milan Fashion Week this year just further cements the fact that she really does belong with the big dogs.
Sky high wooden platforms, wedges that are more artwork than they are shoes, bold colored purses in the shape of lunchboxes, big bauble necklaces in bright blue and pink -- the Just Cavalli show in Milan Fashion Week truly had some amazing clothes, but the little details stole the limelight.
Contrary to belief and that damn cult film known as The Devil Wears Prada, not everyone in the fashion industry is cold, ruthless, and only out for themselves. OK. There may be a few personality types that are like this, but the majority actually like each other.
