Well folks, it's come to this. Another year has come & (almost) gone, and it's time for all of those Top 10 lists that initially seem fascinating and eventually become wildly ridiculous. Fortunately, the team at Bing was smart enough to put together a slew of 2011's Top 10s, including the top 10 most searched for brands of 2011:

Top Searched Fashion Brands On Bing in 2011

1. Gucci (top of the list for the second year in a row)

2. Ralph Lauren

3. Y-3

4. Louis Vuitton

5. Chanel

6. Guess

7. J. Crew

8. Coco Chanel

9. John Galliano

10. Burberry

While most of this list is generally expected, I love that Y-3 comes in at #3. One of my favorite brands - Yohji Yamamoto doesn't get nearly enough lips service. Also it's quite amusing that Coco Chanel comes in at #8, yet Karl's no where to be found. Why so sad, Kaiser?

The Luxury Institute of New York has compiled a list of the 26 luxury handbag brands consumers are most familiar with. "There are so many names in the luxury handbag market today, which tells me that they have to work to stand out — the wealthier the consumers are, the more unique they want the bag to be," said Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute. "As far as status goes, this is probably one of the most important fashion categories — it's the one that really shows off who you are, no matter how you are dressed."

The brands are ranked based on the familiarity with luxury handbag consumers. Close to 800 consumers were surveyed with an average net worth of $2.2 million. "Handbag brands 2008" was conducted as part of the larger Luxury Brand Status Index, which also attempts to measure quality, exclusivity, social status and sel-enhancement.
