While Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger and Dior are clear front runners worldwide, some huge fashion brands didn’t seem to make a big impression over the last year. Fashion powerhouse Prada didn’t make the cut in any countries, also feeling the brunt is Valentino, who also missed out on a spot on the list.
Claire Breslin, Buying & Commercial Director at Larizia, commented:
“As one of the most recognised luxury brands, it’s no huge surprise to see just how much of an impact Louis Vuitton has. With pieces including classic handbags and iconic luggage, their strong branding and chic styles make them one of the best-known brands around. We were especially interested to see which countries veer away from the majority when it comes to their fashion choices. From the likes of Dior in Japan to McQueen in Haiti, we’re impressed by the broad range of favourite brands we’ve seen worldwide!”
