Off-White Has Been Crowned the Most Popular Brand in the World

As a fashion journalist who regularly compiles a roundup of fashion-related news called ‘Here’s All the Fashion News You Missed this Week,’ I’ve noticed a distinct uptick in the amount of news related to Off-White within the last year. There was the frilly tutu that tennis champ Serena Williams wore to US Open, the IKEA rug collab, those unforgettable clear suitcases, plus the time there was a bona-fide riot outside of Off-White’s show at Paris Fashion Week.

In no small part thanks to its headline-grabbing ability, Off-White has ascended to the status of the “world’s hottest brand” as determined by the Lyst Index. The index is a quarterly ranking of fashion’s MVPs compiled from analyzing “the online shopping behaviour of more than 5 million shoppers a month searching, browsing and buying fashion across 12,000 designers and stores online.” Rankings are determined not only by what consumers are searching for, but their social media clout. Naturally, Off-White’s status as a hypebeast brand played an important role in dethroning Gucci for the top spot.

Lyst revealed that searches for Off-White are up 14% across partner retail sites, and the brand jumped a whole 33 spots to secure top billing since last quarter.

In addition to the hottest brands index, the fashion search engine also releases a list of the ten hottest products for women and men. The retro Dior saddle bag nabbed the top spot on the list of the ten most covetable items for women, alongside Off-White’s logo belt, Gucci Flashtrek sneakers and surprisingly, Birkenstock’s Madrid sandal. (The Madrid sandal only has one leather strap, unlike the popular two-strap Arizona style of seasons past).

Perhaps Off-White will collaborate on a limited edition pair of Birkenstock Madrid sandals and the internet will, appropriately, explode.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
