Delhi ranked 22nd in global fashion capital list

New York has topped the list of global fashion capitals leaving Paris and London

behind. In an annual ranking survey by Global Language Monitor (GLM), Delhi stands at the 22th spot and Mumbai at 45th. Cities of Los Angeles, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, Sydney, Antwerp, and Shanghai featured among the top 10.

Delhi was placed 48th last year and Mumbai 38th. Berlin consolidated its position, while Antwerp completed it steady climb, Sydney had a triumphant 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.

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. The words, phrases and concepts are tracked in relation to their frequency, contextual usage and appearance in global media outlets.
