The ranking is led by London, followed by Milan, New York, Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo, Zurich, Sydney, Seoul, and Vienna. São Paulo’s inclusion highlights its diverse market, which ranges from luxury brands and high-end shopping centers to specialized streets and wholesale hubs like Brás, Pari, and 25 de Março.
