Rosenthal and The Lead Announce The Foremost 50 List

Rosenthal is proud to partner with The Lead, a research and content platform that brings together the top brands in fashion and retail and the best fintech names in Silicon Valley, to present the Foremost 50 - a power list that recognizes high-growth D2C brands that are reinventing and redefining the future of the fashion, retail and consumer industries.

Companies were analyzed across 7 categories: innovation, commercialization, media buzz, competition, team, market opportunity, and investor value creation. And while product innovation is a critical success factor, these companies were predominantly selected based on excellence in marketing and customer acquisition, customer experience, supply chain optimization, technology implementation, channel diversity, and capital efficiency.

The Foremost 50 brands have demonstrated that they can not only survive in this new normal, but really thrive. These brands are exceptionally creative and nimble and have a strong grasp of what their customers need and want at any given moment. Reinventing the retail experience through innovation, the Foremost 50 have cemented their position as some of today’s superstar brands in what has been perhaps the most challenging environment we’ve seen in years.
