I think that NYC should be number 1 because of the diversity of the fashion that appears in the city. Unlike London.

Errrr...what? Excuse me? LOL that's bollocks. London is just as diverse as New York-in every way. Overall, I think we're more trend-setting out here. Props to the Rotten Apple though.
