From Freaky Footwear to Celebrity-Endorsed Favourites: These Are The Hottest Trends In Fashion Right Now
The quarterly Lyst index is here once again, and it's packed with fashion insights, including its list of the 20 buzziest brands of the moment. Starting off strong, Miu Miu regained its number-one slot, which it forfeited to Loewe last quarter following a surge in interest due to Jonathan Anderson's departure. Prada, Saint Laurent, and Coach also sat comfortably in the top five, with COS hovering at number seven as the only high-street brand in the ranking—directly behind The Row, at six. The most prominent trend right now? Anything to do with, well, feet. People can't stop talking about where to find this season's hottest, freakiest footwear, how to still stand out while wearing closed-toe shoes in the summer heat, and whether toe rings are really making a comeback. Fashion trends come and go, often in the form of It bags and soon-to-be-forgotten silhouettes (the peplum revival is still waiting patiently in the wings; see: Phoebe Philo's Sugar tops). However, it's rare to see a single body part hold such autonomous power in the sartorial conversation. Out of the top 10 hottest items of recent months, six are footwear, including the Vibram Fivefinger shoes (a distant cousin of the Nike Air Rift), Ancient Greek Sandals, Iro ballet flats, and The Row's pricey Dune flip-flops, which surged in popularity after Jonathan Bailey conspicuously sported a pair on a red carpet in London. The closer your foot is to the ground, the better, and extra points for flashing your toes. There's something so nonchalant about balancing an outfit with the an unexpectedly informal shoe—it also signals that you can piece together a look from top to toe. Interestingly, Katie Lubin, VP of brand and communications at Lyst, believes that The Row's hype has never been more widespread, and points to the footwear trend as proof. 'They've hit the sweet spot where minimalist aesthetic meets maximum cultural cachet, creating products that function as both wardrobe staples and status symbols,' she tells ELLE. Across the board, searches for flip-flops are up 68%, with customers unsurprisingly favoring COS, Havaianas, and Tory Burch as less expensive alternatives. (Not on the charts, but a popular honorable mention also goes to Tory Burch's wide range of 'pierced' silhouettes, which have taken over fashion girls' feet with full force, offering a bolder statement in the low-key footwear field.) Also on the 'Hottest Products' list were the Isabel Marant wedge sneakers and Miu Miu's suede logo-embossed boat shoes—two styles that have enjoyed relative longevity in internet years since they began cropping back up in early 2024. If anything, their resurgence, alongside the rise in ballet sneakers (like the Puma Speedcat flats) was a precursor to the footwear-focused trend that was to come. In other news, athletic dressing continued to reign supreme, with Adidas track shorts coming in at number three, no doubt thanks to celebrities like Paul Mescal and Zoë Kravitz, who recently elevated the sporty staple with heeled mules and a Saint Laurent bag. According to Lubin, Burberry also enjoyed a bump on the menswear side, specifically when it came to shirting and swim shorts. Earlier this year, the British brand once again returned to its roots for a festival-inspired campaign starring Cara Delevingne and the Gallagher family—proof that celebrity-endorsed, brand-driven nostalgia can still be enticing in today's fashion sphere.

Phoebe Philo enters mainland China via wholesale
Since launching her signature luxury label back in October 2023, Phoebe Philo has been careful to take a very slow and steady approach to expansion and it's only now that the label is entering mainland China via wholesale. The move was revealed on Thursday with the company saying it will introduce physical store wholesale in the country from this September. Its retail partners in this will be the B1OCK concept store in Hangzhou; DongLiang in Beijing, Shanghai, Aranya, and Shenzhen; Dover Street Market in Beijing; Lane Crawford in Shanghai; and SND in Chengdu and Shanghai. Launch dates will vary. The company only recently unveiled Collection D but that doesn't launch until early next year so the China wholesale partners will launch with collection C. Categories include ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and accessories. The company added that its own webstore, remains the 'primary online destination'. Shipping is available to Australia, Europe, Hong Kong SAR, Japan,Singapore, South Korea, UK and the US. As mentioned, the long-awaited label created by the former Celine creative chief launched just under two years ago and at the time was online-only. Pieces were originally unveiled as a series of edits but a year later, it started revealing collections in their entirety and in advance of availability. The label moved into physical retail in April 2024 when it opened the brand's first physical point of sale with Bergdorf Goodman in New York for a limited time. Wider physical store wholesale followed last September but still with very limited distribution as it became available at 10 Corso Como in Milan, Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Dover Street Market in London and Paris, Maxfield in Los Angeles, Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles, and The Webster in Miami's South Beach. Last November it also entered the APAC region through its own webstore and select physical wholesale partners including Dover Street Market Ginza and Isetan Shinjuku in Tokyo, Parlour X in Sydney, and Shinsegae International in Seoul. Further global wholesale partners were added this year, including Lane Crawford in Hong Kong while it also opened its first shop-in-shop in the Paris Galeries Lafayette flagship.
