Which luxury fashion videos sizzled this summer and caught consumer attention? The results are in.
Signalling the height of the European summer vacation period, the month of August showed lower activity levels than in July overall, but interestingly, saw higher average interaction rates.
Again, more interactions materialised for Fashion & Beauty brands than for Watches & Jewellery, with dynamic, short and fast paced videos in fashion/beauty, winning out over jewellery and watches clips which take more time for storytelling.
While July videos mostly dealt with women’s fashion and the Fall/Winter 2015/2016 collection, August was marked by the importance of make-up (Dior), perfumes (Chanel) and underwear (Tommy Hilfiger), with male-focused products reigning supreme.
In the popularity stakes overall, Chanel overthrew Louis Vuitton, which fell at the 6th position and now shares the podium with Michael Kors and Burberry.
“ Tommy Hilfiger outperformed in August with more than 2.7M views ”
Tommy Hilfiger performed best with its underwear campaign on YouTube and Instagram, which propelled the brand up the ranking to the 7th place.
Specifically, in terms of views Tommy Hilfiger outperformed in August with more than 2.7M views and 2.6M only generated by the top video.
However, with the first highest interaction rate (9.5%) and the 4th number of views, Hugo Boss published the video with the best combined results, including views and interactions overall.
On Instagram, this month Chanel dominated – thanks to its campaign for the new fragrance Chance, the brand gathered almost a third of the interactions.
The boost saw Chanel finally overtake Christian Dior, whose clout on Instagram has stayed unchallenged for more than half a year.
TOMMY HILFIGER
This month’s top video was issued by Tommy Hilfiger. It gathered more than 2,6M views and a good interaction rate of 1.4% thanks to Rafael Nadal. The tennis player indeed lent his face and body to Tommy Hilfiger underwear. In the locker rooms, the “king of Clay” is ready to (almost) take it all off.
