The Most Tweeted-About Fashion Brand in 2017 Collaborated with Gigi Hadid
To the surprise of no one, Beyoncé took home a major social media award when her February pregnancy announcement was declared 2017’s most-liked Instagram photo with a whopping 11 million taps.
But what about Twitter?
The social media platform this morning released a trove of year-end data and we’ve learned, exclusively, that this year’s most tweeted-about fashion brand is none other than a classic American favorite: Tommy Hilfiger.
The brand dropped several collaborations with It model Gigi Hadid (plus a Tommy x Gigi Barbie doll) so we’re not shocked that her 7.7 million Twitter followers helped give Tommy Hilfiger, which boasts 1.5 million followers, a major boost.
Next on the list? Victoria’s Secret, which delivered another sizzling fashion show in November, followed by Chanel, H&M, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Burberry, Malan Breton, Forever 21, and Dior—a decent mix of luxury and mass-appeal retailers.
Outside of fashion, the top three most-liked tweets of the year were all shared around times of violence. Barack Obama, who hit the No. 1 spot with more than 4.5 million likes, shared a Nelson Mandela quote following the violent attacks in Charlottesville, Va., while Ariana Grande, at No. 2 with 2.6 million likes, responded to the attacks at a Manchester stadium where she performed. The third was also Obama's, this time with his well-wishes for John McCain, who battled cancer.

John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.
