LONDON FASHION WEEK AW13

           SUMMARY
     Burberry was the most talked-about brand during London Fashion Week 2013 and was mainly associated with Britishness.
     It too had the largest number of male advocates. Despite the fact Topshop and River Island are high street brands, they
     produced high levels of buzz thanks to successful broadcasting activities on Twitter (Topshop) and celebrity endorsement
     (River Island). Mulberry has experienced the most significant positive shift in terms of followers and propensity-to-purchase
     levels.

LONDON FASHION WEEK AW13

           BURBERRY
     Burberry was a leader in all social media platforms during London Fashion Week 2013 proving a good two-way brand-
     customer communication channel. The initial user reactions after seeing the Burberry catwalk (Twitter) followed by more
     comprehensive opinion statements on blogs could be used as a reinforcement of the brand’s position as a leader in social
     media and as a tool for maintaining close relationships with and rewarding loyal fans. Burberry too has the largest number
     of male engaged users compared to Topshop and Mulberry, which should be used to start creating more male-centric social
     media campaigns to turn this interest into propensity-to-purchase.

           RIVER ISLAND
     Rihanna’s debut collection was the highlight of River Island’s performance during London Fashion Week 2013 . The brand
     was mainly associated with the singer, proving the celebrity endorsement successful. The brand has hence reached new
     target audiences (Rihanna/music fans) and this could be used to both learn more about them and strengthen its
     relationship with them, especially with overseas ones who were main buzz drivers around River Island. Similarly to
     Topshop, the brand was mainly mentioned in relation to its London Fashion Week collection which provides an opportunity
     for strengthening its fashion credentials.

LONDON FASHION WEEK AW13

        TOPSHOP
     Despite the fact Topshop was a sponsor of London Fashion Week 2013, sentiment around the brand was mainly related to
     its fashion show. Links to the Topshop catwalk show were massively shared by the brand’s owned channels - hence the high
     volumes of buzz. Interestingly, there was great user interest in such activities, especially by overseas fans who were unable
     to attend London Fashion Week this winter. This could be used to both learn more about Topshop’s customers and
     advocates, and to strengthen the brand association and create more advocates overseas. Topshop was mainly mentioned
     in relation to its clothes during London Fashion Week, which puts them on the same merit as Burberry and Mulberry.
     During this time of the year the brand should use this asset to strengthen its fashion credentials.

            MULBERRY
     Mulberry has experienced the most significant increase in both buzz volume and followers during London Fashion Week
     2013. The high peak of propensity-to-purchase volumes and the motive-related sentiment associated with Mulberry give
     great ad-hoc short term opportunities to capitalise fans’ keen interest and knowledge, turning it into a quick ROI and brand
     endorsement. Despite the high levels of forum engagement, sentiment is mainly driven by passive link sharing of online
     shops where Mulberry bags could be purchased, and therefore such activities should be turned into user-engagement
     campaigns. Many females in different age brackets discussed gift-giving, which could be used to learn more about the
     brand’s advocates and to further boost sales, especially during upcoming holidays.

  • 1. LONDON FASHION WEEK AW13 SUMMARY Burberry was the most talked-about brand during London Fashion Week 2013 and was mainly associated with Britishness. It too had the largest number of male advocates. Despite the fact Topshop and River Island are high street brands, they produced high levels of buzz thanks to successful broadcasting activities on Twitter (Topshop) and celebrity endorsement (River Island). Mulberry has experienced the most significant positive shift in terms of followers and propensity-to-purchase levels.

  • 2. LONDON FASHION WEEK AW13 BURBERRY Burberry was a leader in all social media platforms during London Fashion Week 2013 proving a good two-way brand- customer communication channel. The initial user reactions after seeing the Burberry catwalk (Twitter) followed by more comprehensive opinion statements on blogs could be used as a reinforcement of the brand’s position as a leader in social media and as a tool for maintaining close relationships with and rewarding loyal fans. Burberry too has the largest number of male engaged users compared to Topshop and Mulberry, which should be used to start creating more male-centric social media campaigns to turn this interest into propensity-to-purchase. 16000 14000 12000 10000 Posts 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 09 Feb 11 Feb 13 Feb 15 Feb 17 Feb 19 Feb 21 Feb 23 Feb 25 Feb 27 Feb 01 Mar RIVER ISLAND Rihanna’s debut collection was the highlight of River Island’s performance during London Fashion Week 2013 .
