Global fashion search platform Lyst analysed the online shopping behavior of more than five million shoppers a month searching, browsing and buying fashion across 12,000 designers and stores online. The result is the “Lyst Index” – a quarterly ranking of fashion’s hottest brands and products. The Lyst Index also revealed world’s hottest fashion products.
To find the world’s hottest products, Lyst’s formula filters six million items by volume of social media mentions, searches, page views, interactions and sales across thousands of online stores.
