Yeah my bad on that, I was still operating with their old list from 2015 in mind when Miami was ahead of Dallas. I didn't notice it was updated to 2017 until after posting in this thread (and before making that thread).

Either way, when you look at the boutique brand stores that have opened up physical locations as well as sales, it is Miami first, Dallas second, and the other three have largely around the same range now thanks to Oliver McMillan related projects to lure more brands (three indicating the inclusion of Washington D.C. to go with Houston and Atlanta). I would have to update that thread at some point, as it has been some years since then but these cities likely still rank in that exact same order. Here is a more recent compilation of brands, that I've put together, ranging from middle tier to high tier, though still 8 months old now.

The link to each store/brand is there so that way people can access it and check for themselves. To mention again, this list was compiled 8 months ago, so there may be some slight changes, but probably not that many to where this list is outdated (it's only 8 months old).

New Orleans is much further back than these places, the only way it is in contention here is if you're solely looking at casual wear or something. Which is just one segment of it all.

[Treasurevalley92]

I'm pretty positive it is Dallas.

[NorthAtlanta]

Miami followed by Atlanta

[Spade]

1. Miami
2. Dallas
3a. Houston
3b. Atlanta
5. New Orleans

[Chilly Gentilly]

I'm not sure what the outside perspective is of New Orleans, but I'm pretty surprised to see it mentioned in this thread.

I voted Miami

[bostonkid123]

None of the above.
