Each year, GLM ranks all Global Fashion Capitals that qualify by surpassing significant thresh-holds in five categories: Fashion, Moda, Haute Couture, Pert-a-Porter, and Ready-to-Wear. This is the 12th annual ranking, after two years of tests and development in LaJolla, CA. (#TopGlobalFashionCapital)
