The Q2 2023 Lyst Index ranking is out, and both Valentino and Moncler have dropped out of the Top 5. Dior moved up into the Top 10 from 11th place in Q1 2023 – Dolce & Gabbana has been pushed out of the Top 10 entirely.
The Lyst index ranks fashion brands by behaviour on its shopping platform, using data such as product searches, views and sales. It also tracks global social media mentions, activity and engagement, providing a top 20 brands every three months.
Here are the brands in positions six to ten.
Valentino
