Some of the big events of the quarter included the death of Virgil Abloh whose label has taken the number one position in the hottest brands list five times. It wasn’t included in the ranking this quarter while the company came to terms with the loss of its founder. But the only brand to achieve more number one positions is Gucci, and the only other brands ever to have made the top spot are Balenciaga and Nike – all larger and longer-established labels.

The House of Gucci movie release helped to make Gucci’s 1953 Horsebit loafers the hottest men’s product during the quarter, while TV shows Succession, And Just Like That, Emily in Paris and even Squid Game all drove “significant demand for items and styles worn by the protagonists”.

Lyst also said that the relationship between sport and fashion continued to grow, with major luxury brands appointing athletes as ambassadors, and releasing new outdoors, active and ski collections.

And the ‘gorpcore’ trend remained popular throughout the year, with an uptick in Q4 as consumers sought technical outerwear and footwear to withstand the elements.

While such styles have diversified of late to include party knitwear and pyjamas, Nensi Dojaka’s sheer tulle bustier top, Gucci and Balenciaga’s The Hacker crystal jacket (worn by Beyoncé) and Saint Laurent’s 68 crystal-embellished boots (seen on Hailey Bieber) were among the most-wanted specific items.

The hottest products list (arrived at by looking over 8 million items and analysing searches, sales, mentions and more) saw the Balenciaga Classic small bag coming top. It was ahead of the Prada Re-Nylon bucket hat and the Frankie Shop Teddy quilted jacket. The Gucci + Balenciaga The Hacker Project crystal jacket was fourth, ahead of Prada’s padded nylon slip-on shoes, then that Nensi Dojaka tulle bustier top, the V signature reversible belt, Saint Laurent 68 boots, Miu Miu crochet hood and face covering and UGG Tazz slippers.

Meanwhile for men, as mentioned, the Gucci 1953 Horsebit loafers topped the list, ahead of ’s Seamaster Diver 300 Watch, Prada’s Re-Nylon puffer jacket, Moncler’s Cuvellier short down jacket, and the Fear of God Essentials hoodie. Off-White Out of sneakers were next, followed by the Arc’teryx Alpha SV jacket, NSTL boots, The North Face NSE III Tent mules, and Stone Island’s ribbed wool balaclava.
