Lyst Index hottest products
Mentioning the hottest product, the Lyst Index says, “Saint Laurent’s Icare bag is the hottest product of the quarter, with a 46% spike in searches. Worn by Bella Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sydney Sweeney, the jumbo quilted bag has quickly reached ‘It’ status and is causing a halo effect trend for the bag category.”
This is followed by a Prada signature in the second position — the Prada slingback pumps. Dr. Martens Leonore Chelsea Boots, the 16 Arlington Solaria dress and the Bottega Veneta Sardine bag take up the third, fourth and fifth positions respectively.
How did Prada become the hottest fashion brand for Q4 2022?
Lyst is a fashion tech company as well as a high-end shopping site which receives nearly a 200 million annual footfall. With the help of a carefully devised ranking system that takes into account the search volume and social media traction, Prada emerged at the top for the quarter.
Prada saw a surge in product search by 37 per cent between October and December, with the slingback pumps ranking as the hottest product.
In 2022, the fashion label forayed into the jewellery sector by launching the first fine jewellery collection made of recycled gold. The brand also roped in Charli D’Amelio as the face of the Prada Linea Rossa FW22 and named Andrea Guerra as its CEO.
