Though "hot" is generally a subjective term, the e-commerce company Lyst consults a deep pool of data to inform its quarterly list of the hottest fashion brands in the world.
On Wednesday, Lyst — which currently sells more than 12,000 brands to fashion enthusiasts around the world — released its ranking of the 20 buzziest fashion brands for the second quarter of 2019. This quarter, Gucci, Off-White, and Balenciaga took the top spots, marking Gucci’s fifth number one placement in two years. The report cites Gucci’s involvement in influential cultural moments like the Met Gala, as well as a recent fashion show that made waves.
"Gucci’s impactful brand moments of the quarter included a politically charged Cruise collection featuring embellished uteruses and new campaigns with Harry Styles, which contributed to the global success of the label," the report states.
To determine the results, the company analyzes the shopping behaviors of its more than five million consumers, tracking searching, browsing, and purchasing patterns on its own platform. Lyst then integrates Google search data, conversion rates, and social media mentions of the specific brands to determine their ranking.
We took a closer look at the Lyst Index’s analysis of the top 20 brands to see how they’re carving a niche in the fashion world:
