Fashion Week Movers and MentionsThe collections at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York gave people plenty to talk about, although as our social media analysis found, receiving the most mentions didn’t necessarily equate to earning the highest favor among social media commentators.

Analyzing structured and unstructured data from various social media platforms and forums can lead to actionable insights into consumer behaviors, preferences, and trends.
Alexander Wang had people not only talking, but talking favorably about the styles they saw at his runway show. However, social media sharers favored Diane von Furstenberg’s fashions the most.
Retailers and brands need to not only know which designers people are talking about most; they also need to understand the meaning behind those mentions in order to provide the products that may increase customer loyalty, market share, and, ultimately, share of wallet.

Brand awareness can be clearly affected by the celebrity company it keeps.
