Hong Kong has been ranked as the world's eighth most fashionable city in a latest survey by Global Language Monitor.
China News Service Thursday quoted HK's Wen Wei Po newspaper as saying, also listed as one of the world's most fashionable cities is Shanghai, eastern China's financial hub, taking the fourteenth place on the top 25 list. The California-based Global Language Monitor says the rise of Shanghai in the list indicates that a Chinese mainland city has for the first time broken into the big names. New York was elected as the top fashion city for the fourth consecutive year. Rome came second and Paris took the third place. Asian cities on the list also include Tokyo, in the 6th place, Singapore in the 10th and Bangkok in the 17th.
Global Language Monitor, a non-profit organization, is in charge of documenting, analysing and tracking trends in language, especially in English. The American company also conducts fashion surveys.
