Quiet, shocking, virtual, viral; how would you describe this year in fashion? Over the last twelve months, the trend cycle blazed through moods and moments, with fashion driving some of the year’s biggest cultural talking points. While some shoppers boldly embraced fashion’s fearless, fantasy spirit, others sought more low-key looks, increasingly leaning towards quality and timelessness as the new vectors for value. Here are the stand-out stories that shaped what we wanted to wear in 2023, according to Lyst search data from 200 million online fashion shoppers this year.

The fashion e-commerce platform Lyst has released a list of the world's hottest brands for the third quarter of 2023. The results showed that Miu Miu jumped to the top of the list for the first time. On the occasion of Miu Miu's 30th anniversary, due to strong global demand for its flagship items such as ballet flats and Arcadie bags, this "playful young" line brand, created by Miuccia Prada, the third generation successor of the Prada family, has surpassed the popularity of the main brand Prada. Miu Miu's overall search volume increased by 16% this quarter, with the brand's autumn and winter series having over 223 million views on TikTok. At the same time, the brand's cashmere cardigan also became the second most popular product this quarter, with a 44% increase in search volume. Lyst wrote on the list, 'It's Miu Miu's Moment'.

Exquisite crafts and handicrafts bring not only warmth and comfort, but also a refined wearing experience. Cashmere is warm, smooth and soft. This report makes a key analysis of the three Italian brands, Brunello Cucinelli, Zegna and Malo. They advocate exquisite yarns and minimalist subtle designs, thus creating fine natural products. Styles are simple yet luxury.
