In the past quarter, it successfully shifted its positionfrom a“Timeless Performer” to a “Strong Momentum” brand. In 2025 Q3, 60% of its Tmall revenue came from 2025 new releases, with37% contributed by products launched in Q3 alone. The brand’s strong ability to capture consumer attention through its latestlaunches highlights its growing popularity in the China market. Women’s cardigans and shirts remain the key bestsellers, drivingthe brand’s strong overall performance. CREATIVE BRIGHT SPOTS:MICHAELKORS Michael Kors’ latest drops have helped revive the brand, with 34% of its Q3 revenue coming from 2025 listings-including thenewly released Nolita, which generated impressive sales momentum in its first quarter of launch. While these new products havesuccessfully regained market attention, overall revenue continues to decline YoY. More than 80% of the brand’s assortmentremains regularly discounted, including evergreen styles such as Bedford and Ava. TIMELESS PERFORMERS:SONGMONT Songmont, once a small C2C bag seller on Taobao, has now emerged as one of China’s leading premium handbag brands,competing with global powerhouses on Tmall. The brand recorded a 52% year-on-year revenue growth in Q3 2025. Although itsGLOW Index stood at 0.39 (below the median), this one-quarter snapshot belies strong innovation momentum throughout the year:33% of its assortment and 34% of its revenue came from new launches in 2025. FADED SIGNALS:ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Alexander McQueen continues to face challenges in the Chinese market, recording several consecutive months of double-digityear-on-year declines. The brand remains heavily reliant on its evergreen products—particularly the long-standing OversizedSneaker—while most of its 2025 Tmall listings are merely iterations of these core styles. In Q3, new 2025 listings made up 51%of the assortment but generated only 25% of total revenue. Is Your Brand Positioned to Lead?
