{% endif %}

✨ Fashion Insights & Trends:

After nearly three years, Prada has reclaimed its top position as fashion’s hottest brand on the Lyst Index for Q3 2026. This past quarter, spanning July through September, Prada skyrocketed by five places to regain the gold after last holding the title in Q4 2023. Experiencing a 55% rise since Q2 (amid a well-received Spring 2027 show), the Italian house’s upward momentum was also reflected in Lyst’s hottest products ranking: Prada’s $1,320 Wish Pouch came in first place thanks to an almost 500% uptick in demand.

Chanel and Miu Miu joined Prada at the top of the podium, respectively taking the silver and bronze. Gucci came in fourth place, followed by Saint Laurent in fifth. Celine entered the top 10 for the first time on the heels of its Reebok collaboration, which claimed the third spot on the hottest products list.

As for the newcomers, Dries Van Noten and Khaite made their Lyst Index debuts at numbers 16 and 20, respectively. With a 27% quarter-on-quarter demand spike, the former also boasts the fifth-hottest product of Q3: the $845 Long Wrap Scarf-Skirt. Diesel stood out as this quarter’s only re-entry at 18, as Glenn Martens’ electric final bow pushed the label onto the list for the first time since Q1 2024.

Accessories dominated Lyst’s Q3 top fashion finds: Slouchy top-handle handbags à la COS’ Trullo Flap Bag ($370) and Balenciaga’s Rodeo Bag ($4,590) became summer’s favorite style, while Cartier’s Tank Watch ($3,750) was the first timepiece to enter the list since 2021 as demand for the classic silhouette rose 83% quarter-on-quarter.

Following the resurgence of 2010s-era trends like mullet hems and mint-green colorways, Vans’ nostalgic Premium Authentic Sneakers ($80) are also resurfacing, with demand up 29% year-over-year. Meanwhile, Phoebe Philo’s Peak Sunglasses ($520) reigned as this quarter’s undisputed top shades due to a whopping 525% demand increase in Q3.

In addition to ranking fashion’s big luxury players, Lyst also tracks the industry’s “moving fast” brands, or rising labels worth keeping an eye on. Conner Ives — a New York-born designer currently based in London — led Q3’s cohort, with the brand seeing a 49% quarter-on-quarter lift in searches. This buzz follows Ives’ recent stateside return to show at New York Fashion Week for the first time in September. Plus, the label’s Reconstituted Vintage Robe has become a popular pull among celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Kate Moss and Jennifer Lawrence.

NYC-based label Emily Dawn Long joins Conner Ives on the “moving fast” list, as it saw a 17% spike in demand following its 2026 CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year nomination. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Copenhagen-based label Mfpen is also on the rise, with Lyst logging a 37% quarter-on-quarter bump after a buzzy collaboration with New Balance.
