New York was on Wednesday named as the world's top fashion city for the fourth consecutive year, according to a survey by a U.S.-based language use group.
The Global Language Monitor, a non-profit group that tracks words and phrases in the media, on the Internet and throughout the blogosphere, compiles an annual list of the top fashion cities.
New York ousted Paris as the leader in the list four years ago, leaving the French capital jostling with London, Rome, and Milan for the other top positions in the list.
This year, Rome beat out the others for second place with Paris coming in third position, followed by Milan and London. Hong Kong was rated the top fashion city in South Asia, coming in 8th position overall.
Other notable rankings included Shanghai at number 14, Sydney and Melbourne at numbers 12 and 15 respectively, and the fashion quartet of South America -- Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires.
Krakow, one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland, made it to No. 25, apparently because of its emerging status as a centre of neo-Bohemian influence.
"The ranking is surprising in a number of ways, most of which relate to the changing nature of the global fashion industry," Millie Payack, a director of the Global Language Monitor, said in a statement.
"Cities that recently would have been considered fashion backwaters are now emerging as significant regional hubs."
Following is the list of the top 25 fashion cities:
1. New York

blogosphere:博客圈
據一個總部位於美國的語言使用組織上週三公佈的一項調查，紐約連續第四年被評爲全球第一大時尚城市。
負責在媒體、互聯網和博客圈“追蹤”新詞的非贏利組織全球語言監控機構編撰了此項全球時尚城市年度排行。
四年前，紐約取代巴黎成爲全球第一大時尚城市，令法國首都不得不與倫敦、羅馬和米蘭一決高下。
今年，羅馬擊敗其它幾個城市躍居第二，巴黎名列第三，米蘭和倫敦位居其後。香港成爲南亞地區第一大時尚城市，總排名第八位。
其餘幾大入選城市包括：上海，第14位；悉尼和墨爾本，分別位居第12和第15位；以及南美“四強”--聖地亞哥、里約熱內盧、聖保羅和布宜諾斯艾利斯。
波蘭最大、最古老的城市之一克蘭科夫名列第25位，其上榜原因很明顯，主要是因爲它日益確立起“新波希米亞時尚中心”的地位。
全球語言監控機構的總裁米里·培雅克在一份聲明中說：“這一排行在很多方面讓人意外，大部分因素與全球時尚業不斷變化的本質有關。”
“過去被認爲與時尚毫不沾邊的一些城市如今都脫穎而出，成爲重要的時尚中心。”
