Third on the list come from the French fashion house, Dior. Choosing Blackpink’s Kim Ji-soo as their brand ambassador turned out to be a good move. In addition to that, Snapchat went wild for the brand’s augmented reality sneaker try-on lens.
Balenciaga
If you don’t recognize the name, you probably are familiar with the logo that consists of back-to-back letter “Bs”. The brand made a smooth move toward the end of the first quarter by giving fans a fun, glow-in-the-dark collection of slides, T-shirts, caps, and socks.
Moncler
When a fashion house label gets serious about protecting the environment, shoppers notice. This luxury label put recycled materials to use in creating a Born To Protect jacket. They also kept their focus on spring outerwear that buyers found to be fun, fresh, and new.

Louis Vuitton
This French fashion house incorporated Naomi Osaka as their brand ambassador. That was a good move that captured the interest of many. Also, Nicolas Ghesquière’s Coussin handbag started showing up on popular celebrities arms that certainly didn’t hurt the fashion label’s ranking.

This fashion label extends beyond the runway. Models, influencers, and other famous celebrities are often dressed, decked out in Bottega Veneta. Musician Missy Elliott has stepped into the Bottega Veneta craze as well as she was pictured in the fashion label’s first digital quarterly journal.
Saint Laurent
No stranger to the top searched-for fashion, Saint Laurent remains in the Top 10. Catherine Deneuve and Kate Moss stepping out in Saint Laurent’s spring 2021 designs ad campaign was also a good move for the brand giving fans a desire to get all dressed up.
Off-White
Finally, in the Top 10 spot is a shoe brand that competes with other top-name athletic shoes. The brand actually collaborated with Nike on seven sneaker designs. They launched their “I Support Black Women campaign with the help of activist Trinice McNally, the label took off.
