Key Data of Fashion Weeks by Launchmetrics
Last year, the entire fashion industry wondered what the industry’s future would look like, whether Fashion Weeks would continue as usual, or whether everything would be in a digital format. Inevitably, the pandemic forced the industry to adapt, and global Fashion Weeks did take place, albeit in a slightly different form. For over ten years, Launchmetrics, the Brand Performance Cloud for the fashion, luxury, and beauty industries, has provided brands with the tools and services they need to improve their brand performance. This year, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode partnered with Launchmetrics to build a digital platform to continue hosting Paris Fashion Week, even under mandated restrictions.
Together, we also published an exclusive data report around Paris Fashion Week and Haute Couture Week, showcasing the Media Impact Value™ driven by each event.
The Media Impact Value™ is a proprietary algorithm created by Launchmetrics to measure and compare the impact of all media placements and mentions on different Voices in the Fashion, Luxury, and Beauty sectors.
