How Do Fashion's Giants Rank Among the World's Leading Global Brands?

Interbrand published its annual index of the world’s leading global brands just last month, and now we examine how fashion’s biggest brands rank among other industry leaders in the 2014 edition. The top 100 brands range from mainstay automobile companies to technology and consumer brands, but it was no surprise that Apple was sitting at the number one spot on the list. Technology giants Google, IBM and Microsoft rounded out the top 5 alongside Coca-Cola, while the highest ranked fashion brand was Louis Vuitton, good enough for 19th place on this year’s list. Retail giant H&M and sportswear manufacturer Nike followed closely at 21 and 22 respectively. Iconic luxury brands like Gucci, Hermés and Cartier continue to make the list year after year with little fluctuation, but newcomer Hugo Boss surprised many with its first appearance ever.
