This wasn't the release of a new handbag by a major fashion house with a major budget, like the Dior saddle, so how did this pretty, but relatively simple, dress turn into a national news item? Lucy Williams. I, rather cynically, would assume that viral items are designed specifically for huge commercial success. Are prints tested for mass appeal in a mysterious fashion laboratory somewhere? Are there colours that always make you want to shop? Is there a specific date that is best to release your product on?

The more I have spoken to designers this year, the more it seems like there is no magic formula to creating a cult item. Sandra Sandor, the founder of Nanushka, is responsible for several viral pieces—namely the vegan leather puffer jacket and the croc-embossed belt bag—but doesn't think about its Instagram potential at all during the creative process.
