Reason behind elegance
A survey of 20 countries was conducted by Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands directory in April this year. All 10 cities were judged on their lifestyle, multiculturalism, cultural life, climate, and prettiness. The expert Simon Anholt made research to create a new and improved report that included more respondents from non-European countries and a mix of respondents from both developed and developing countries. All the top 10 cities were known for distinguished contributions in design, but fashion specially, as the fashion plays a leading role in a city's cultural evolution and identity.
