I agree with Miami and LA but why are Dallas and Houston on this list??? What about New York, San Francisco or Chicago??? Even Orlando before Dallas or Houston

Orlando has nothing on Houston and Dallas. You could probably rank Dallas ahead of SF.

There is simply no market for that in this town.
Chicago has working-class blue-collar roots. The fashion is practical, every-day wear--work (casual office clothes since the 90's), leisure, etc. That's why you don't see the high-end shopping along Michigan Avenue (except for luxury department stores such as Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's) instead of the little frontage of Rush and Oak. Did you notice Banana Republic has a large following there?

Out of the cities listed I picked Houston. It was a very ignorant vote for me because I just picked at random. I am from Charlotte so I am more familiar with the South. I think Atlanta, however, should have been on the list. It also has incredible mix of great expensive shopping and bargains. But I hear if you can't get it from NYC, then you can't get it anywhere.

As a Floridian, I understand what you're sayin. But Orlando??? NO WAY Oralndo would EVER go before Houston and Dallas. Orlando is really booming, but it's not on Houston or Dallas level.
