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." 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. Following are the 10 top fashion capitals of 2010 and the change from the 2009 rankings 1. New York (up 1) 2. Hong Kong (up 5) 3. London (up 2) 4. Paris ( down 1) 5. Los Angeles (up 1) 6. Milan (down 5) 7. Sydney (up 2) 8. Miami (up 5) 9. Barcelona (up 5) 10. Madrid (up 11) (Read by Nelly Min. Nelly Min is a journalist at the China Daily Web site.) (Agencies) |
一項有關(guān)時尚之都的年度調(diào)查顯示，今年紐約擊敗米蘭，再次成為世界第一時尚之都，但世界傳統(tǒng)五大時尚之都的地位正受到亞洲和澳大利亞城市的挑戰(zhàn)。 該年度排行榜由總部位于紐約的非贏利機構(gòu)全球語言監(jiān)測組織編撰，該組織主要對媒體、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和博客中單詞和詞組的使用頻率進行追蹤。在去年的這一排行中，米蘭打破紐約連續(xù)五年的壟斷，成為世界第一時尚之都。 但隨著美國經(jīng)濟的復(fù)蘇，紐約再次登頂該榜，香港、倫敦、巴黎和洛杉磯位居其后。 排在前十位的其它幾個城市還包括米蘭、悉尼、邁阿密、巴塞羅那和馬德里。 全球語言監(jiān)測組織駐曼哈頓的時尚通訊員貝卡?佩雅克說：“受目前經(jīng)濟狀況的影響，全球時尚業(yè)也發(fā)生了變化，紐約今年再次登頂，成就了在過去七年中六次奪冠的紀錄。” “今年的時尚之都榜表明全球時尚業(yè)正在不斷發(fā)生變化，從前的主要時尚城市排名相對下降，而之前僅在區(qū)域范圍內(nèi)有一定影響力的城市現(xiàn)在正逐漸成為新的時尚之都?！?/p> 她說，在今年的排行中，傳統(tǒng)五大時尚之都——紐約、巴黎、倫敦、米蘭和羅馬“一統(tǒng)天下”的局面首次被打破，這可能將成為一個新的趨勢。 今年的排行榜中名次上升最多的城市是香港、馬德里和墨爾本。 全球語言監(jiān)測組織說，今年新上榜的成員包括阿姆斯特丹（17）、開普敦（23）、約翰內(nèi)斯堡（25）和維也納（27）。 以下是2010年度世界十大時尚之都以及它們相比于2009年的排名變化： 1、 紐約（上升1位） 2、 香港（上升5位） 3、 倫敦（上升2位） 4、 巴黎（下降1位） 5、 洛杉磯（上升1位） 6、 米蘭（下降5位） 7、 悉尼（上升2位） 8、 邁阿密（上升5位） 9、 巴塞羅那（上升5位） 10、 馬德里（上升11位） 相關(guān)閱讀： （中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 蔡姍姍 編輯：馮明惠） |
