2020 was a turning point for the fashion world – a year in which brands faced an unprecedented crisis due mainly to the forced stop of the manufacturing and retail sectors, but also to the radical change in the buying habits of consumers who spent seven months and more locked inside the house, could not travel and were forced to conduct all their purchases online. All of these changes were reflected in the online searches analyzed in the last report by Lyst, the leading search engine in the field of fashion, brands and the most searched products in the second quarter of 2020. Some familiar elements have remained unchanged in the past, such as the strong holding of brands such as Off-White Gucci, Balenciaga, Prada and Saint Laurent, but they have been undermined by Nike as the most desired brand in the world. Nike's record, an absolute novelty for the industry, is just one of the results that occurred following the pandemic and lockdown that significantly changed the luxury fashion scenario.
Nike surpassed Virgil Abloh's brand from a podium held for three quarters in a row: the first time a sportswear brand has taken the top spot in Lyst's quarterly report. A result achieved thanks to the recent surge in activewear and loungewear searches, whose demand has increased by 106% in the last three months, and the viral video in which the brand's famous slogan had become "Don't Do It" – which has been shared over 5 million times online – a demonstration of the importance it has, for brands , reflect the values and culture of their target audience.
Another big strength of Beaverton's brand was the strong commitment to e-commerce, a sector that Nike already wanted to reinforce before the lockdown, aiming to digitalize 30% of all its sales by 2023 – a goal that has already been achieved this year and that has led the brand to set a new goal : To digitally make 50% of its global sales digital in the near future. Nike's online popularity has since increased thanks to Jordan Brand's collaboration with Dior, with the record-breaking online lottery to which 5 million people have signed up.
Which brands have best endured the crisis?
The ability to cultivate an online community has also become the key skill that every brand should cultivate, just as Jacquemus did, which has risen four places since last quarter, and that with its recognizable aesthetic and strong social activity has increased online searches by 61%, becoming the eleventh most desired brand in the world and increasing its followers by 20%. The virality and success of all Jacquemus's initiatives, from Bella Hadid's FaceTime photo shoot to the SS21 show among the wheat fields, have decreed the continuation of the success of this independent brand that has also survived the pandemic without even having a physical flagship store.
In addition to Nike's record and the continuation of Jacquemus's rise, the other news of the quarter is the ascent of Balmain, which gained six positions to Lyst's most desired brand, and the arrival on the charts, for the first time, of Fear of God which has greatly increased its performance during quarantine both on the sales side and on the sales side. , that of online searches as well as social searches.
