Vienna, Austria -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/21/2021 -- The IFDAQ, a leading provider of AI-driven alternative data and deep analytics in the fashion & luxury industry, today published its official ranking of the most important and powerful fashion capitals.

The industry-wide acknowledged ranking for Q1/2021 sees the so-called "Big Four" at the top of the index who have remained the center for fashion, with New York still ahead of Paris, followed by Milan and London.

Among the key findings and some major position shifts, which are certainly favored by market turbulences due to the ongoing COVID-crisis, the index also reconfirms that a slew of new fashion capitals keeps challenging the top positions. Among these, Los Angeles and Sydney managed to reduce the gap to the "Big Four".

"Fashion capitals are the creative heart and aesthetic fuel of fashion, and the core of its power structure. Finding who is leading and their dynamics is key to any stakeholder in the industry and beyond. New York and Paris lead the pack as expected, but others rise and fall - in ways that are genuinely surprising," Professor Dr. Frédéric Godart, Co-CEO of the IFDAQ and Associate Professor at INSEAD, commented on the last index release.

The Top 10 of the IFDAQ Global Fashion & Luxury Cities Q1/2021:

1. New York 129.42 (-1.73%)
2. Paris 127.87 (-0.35%)
3. Milan 100.91 (+1.37%)
