UK Market Insights
- Luxury fashion search visibility in the UK is increasingly driven by retailers and marketplaces rather than individual luxury brands. Flannels, Stylight and Selfridges generated the highest overall visibility across luxury fashion search journeys during May, highlighting the growing influence of multi-brand retail destinations in luxury discovery.
