Dior, I love it! The luxury house was, in 2022, the most mentioned in influencer publications, among fashion brands in the luxury sector, reveals the agency specializing in marketing influence Reech which produced a “top 10” of houses luxury brands. Dior thus recorded 521.2 million impressions (13.8% of the total sum) and 47.2 million engagements (14.7%). Following in this 10 luxury brands most mentioned in influencer publications: Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and even Céline (see the top 10 below).
For Guillaume Doki-Thonon, CEO and co-founder of Reech, “Dior well deserves its first place in the top luxury brands, given the various collaborations and partnerships that the brand has been able to carry out and put in place. Intelligent and profitable strategic choices which, on the one hand, do not betray the heritage of the house, and on the other hand have invested in a new sector focused on pop-culture compatible with the DNA of 18-34 year olds.
Thus Dior seems to stand out from other brands because of the collaborations carried out with pop-cuture personalities hitherto off the radar of the luxury sector, such as the rappers Travis Scott or Orelsan (production of its stage costumes). Dior explores different playing fields: on the “sport” side, the house is the official dresser of the Paris Saint-Germain team and has entered into a partnership with Nike, for a limited edition of Dior x Air Jordan 1 sneakers; on the pure “influence” side, Dior works with “top influencers” such as Squeezie (for a gaming operation to mark the release of Gran Turismo 7 in 2022) and Lena Situations (under contract with Dior). According to the Launchmetrics algorithm, Lena Situations would have generated an MIV (Media impact value) of $4.72 million for the house of Dior.
