I newly added this fashion category to my lifestyle blog for a good reason. When I was young, I had two options to choose from other than becoming a Journalist. One was fashion designing and the other one was aviation. Both were very expensive to study for a High School student compared to the media. Even though I am passionate about these two industries, it was hard to learn about them informally. I could eventually become an Aviation Geek during the last decade and now I have started my fashion industry journey. As a part of that, I am sharing valuable information for people who are already or trying to step into Fashion Industry. Let’s dig deep.
My comment ended.
Back to the story…
If you are looking for the richest and youngest Fashion Brands, definitions are so wide. So, I decided to select the richest Brands which is started in the last decade. So, we can easily crack down the code without hassle.
Achieving a seven-figure turnover in the fashion industry is no mean feat, and it is certainly not something that can be achieved overnight. In fact, even ten years may not be enough time to build a truly successful world-class fashion brand.
There are many factors that contribute to the success of a fashion brand including the quality of the product, the strength of the brand identity, and the effectiveness of the marketing and distribution channels. However, perhaps the most important factor is time. It takes time to build a reputation develop a loyal customer base, and grow into a truly global brand.
Of course, there are some expectations and you may wonder how some brands came up within a relatively short period of time and they had their own strategies that even you can follow for your own fashion brand.
Staud
Staud is relatively a young fashion brand that recently popped into the industry and yet the most successful fashion brand that was founded within the last decade.
- Staud was founded in 2015 in Los Angeles, California, USA by Sarah Staudinger and Chris Staudinger
- Their speciality is readymade ladies’ wear
- It says its yearly revenue is about $100 million
- They had started with a very little investment as little as $10,000 which is about 4 months’ salary for the least-paid employee in LA.
- Social media marketing and celebrity endorsements are their key secrets to success.
Sies Marjan
Sies Marjan is also a readymade women’s wear brand that grew faster than many others. They celebrate their 10th anniversary this year 2023. Sies Marjan was established in New York City which is the easiest and also hardest place for a startup. I said hardest as the initial cost and initial operation cost would be high in NYC due to its high demand. You are literary in the centre of the whole World. On the other hand, one out of ten people you pass by in NYC is a millionaire. So it is the easiest place to do business networking and move your product or service to the open market with the help of your connections.
- Sies Marjan was founded by Sander Lak in New York City in 2015 as a start-up
- Their primary product is readymade women’s wear
- Yearly revenue is said around $75 million
- Initial investment was only about $50,000 and it can be counted as the yearly average salary of a resident of NYC. However, it is relatively one of the smallest investments that you can make in NYC for a fashion brand.
- Their strategy was ‘taking advantage of being in NYC’. They collaborated with major retailers like Opening Ceremony and Barneys New York. So it was a quick boost other than waiting for your consistency to work out.
Rotate Birger Christensen
Rotate Birger Christensen is a Denish women’s wear brand that gains success faster than the norm and they also celebrate their 10th anniversary this year 2023. Europe is famous for luxury fashion brands and people in Europe are more likely to be passionate about relatively traditional industries like fashion other than Silicone Valley .com booms.
- The brand was founded by Ditte Reffstrup and Nicolaj Reffstrup
- Rorate Birger Christensen is a brand that originated in Copenhagen, Denmark
- Their niche is Ladies’ wears
- It says its yearly revenue is around $50 million
- They have put up a $100,000 budget as the start-up budget. It’s a little over a yearly average salary of a resident in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2023
- Their marketing strategy was e-commerce and wholesale parallel to become a successful brand very quickly. Usually, people who gravitated to e-commerce won’t step into wholesale and bulk sellers are not interested in e-commerce in the other than. So, they have done it differently from the usual people. So they ended up somewhere among the top youngest brands in the fashion industry where ‘Usual people’ never pop up.
Wales Bonner
Wales Bonner is the youngest top menswear brand in the World. If you closely look at the above three, all of them are women’s wear brands. So literary women are more obsessed with fashion and we found the Top menswear brand the fourth place of the list. And it was not a surprise to know that the creator of the Top youngest menswear fashion brand is a girl. And She is also born in 1992 which is the same year that I was born. Grace Wales Bonner is an award-winning fashion designer even who collaborated with the Adidas® brand.
- Wales Bonner is an English fashion brand which was founded by Grace Wales Bonner right after her graduation from Central Saint Martins
- Wales Bonner originated from London, United Kingdom
- Their niche is menswear and it made the Top Youngest menswear brand in the World
- It said its yearly revenue is about $40 million
- She started the brand with a $25,000 investment as a fresh graduate. It is definitely less than 1 year’s salary in London.
- She has achieved quick growth through a unique blend of traditional menswear and streetwear. The British Isles are almost tradition-oriented society and I assume people who wanted a change didn’t have many options. So, they as become famous for her unique taste.
The Elder Statesman
The Elder Statesman is an American luxury fashion brand that is relatively young. It celebrates its 13th anniversary this year. It’s in the 5th in the list and we could understand how it achieved its goals even though it stepped in at the start of the creator economy era.
- The brand was founded by Greg Chait in Los Angeles in 2010 which is in California where the tech magic happens.
- Their niche is Luxury Knitwear
- Yearly revenue is said around $30 million
- Started as a startup in 2010 with a $50,000 investment
- Their early success had a reason which is the quality. They have used high-quality materials and craftsmanship to keep the customers coming repeatedly.
