In a major shift from last year's results, fashion brands hold eight of the top 10 slots in the second annual Digital IQ Index for Luxury. Only two brands, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren, managed to hang on to their Genius ranking, with newcomers Coach, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana making significant investments in the medium in 2010.

6. Burberry
7. Dolce & Gabbana
