This Is Officially the Hottest Fashion Brand Right Now
No one is having a better few months than Virgil Abloh. Lyst just released its report for the third quarter of 2018, and Abloh's Off-White brand took the number one spot on the list of the hottest fashion brands right now. Thanks to frenzied demand for the label's sneakers and a high-profile collaboration with Serena Williams, among other buzzy moments, Off-White even beat out Gucci this quarter in terms of online searches, browses, and purchases.
"Over the last year, the cult streetwear label has risen 33 places in the Index, now surpassing Gucci and Balenciaga at the top of the table for the first time," Lyst explains in its report. "Thanks to a quarter packed with globally hyped launches and collaborations, the brand buzz surrounding Abloh and his disruptive creative aesthetic continues to grow."
As always, we can't wait to see what else Abloh has up his sleeve for next year. Scroll down to shop our favorite Off-White picks in honor of the news.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
