London has been crowned the fashion capital of the world.
New York was booted from the top spot due to the royal wedding and fascination with late British designer Alexander McQueen and the fashions of Kate Middleton, per the Texas-based trend analysts Global Language Monitor.
"We are seeing what the impact of two genuine media stars, Princess Kate and Alexander McQueen can have upon a global ranking," said Bekka Payack, the Manhattan-based fashion correspondent of the Global Language Monitor. "In the various categories, London took top honors in three, while New York, Paris, and Sao Paulo each topped the field in one."
The ranking is based upon data culled from the Internet, blogosphere, the 75,000 print and electronic media, as well as new social media sources, including Twitter.
In 2010, New York had been ranked the number one style capital of the world, with Hong Kong in second place.
London came in third last year.
