Miu Miu ranked in fourth place in terms of social media exposure during the spring 2025 Paris Fashion Week, according to Launchmetrics data. Fashion search engine Tagwalk said Miu Miu is one of the most searched brands. The same aesthetic also dominated the runways during Shanghai Fashion Week, local buyers said.

Alaïa, The Row, Coach, Jacquemus, Gucci and Coach moved up in the Lyst ranking, while Loewe, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Moncler and Balenciaga fell.
Alaïa saw a swift ascent, jumping 12 places and landing in fifth. Lyst said demand for the brand rose 51 percent this quarter, as customers are responding to the sensuality and craftsmanship of Pieter Mulier's collections.
The brand's high-profile spring 2025 fashion show at the Guggenheim Museum in New York at the beginning of September likely fueled its popularity as well.
New entrants this quarter included Ralph Lauren, Toteme, Victoria Beckham and Chloé.
Lyst said Ralph Lauren's engagement spiked 151 percent in the period, thanks to high-profile activations at the Olympics and Wimbledon, as well as the designer's extravagant show in the Hamptons in early September.
