ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF FASHION
Born amidst a fashion industry being radically reshaped by technology, globalization and economic crisis, BoF became the catalyst of a collective conversation amongst fashion professionals from across the world. Because to grapple with great change, the industry first needed to come together as a community.
The Business of Fashion is recognised around the world for its authoritative, analytical point of view on the $2.5 trillion global fashion industry. Our mission is clear: build fashion’s global membership community to open, inform and connect the industry.
Serving members in more than 125 countries, BoF combines independent, agenda-setting journalism with practical business advice, online learning, career-building tools and immersive events and experiences, powering positive change in fashion and the wider world.
Over time, this pioneering approach has made BoF the leading source of intelligence for the industry, and one of its most respected and influential voices, simply because you won’t find BoF’s original reporting and analysis anywhere else.
Today, our talented team of reporters, editors, analysts, engineers, designers, marketers and brand strategists span the globe. Together, we create world-class content, services and experiences including BoF Professional (exclusive insight, analysis and opinion), BoF Careers (connecting the best talent with the best job opportunities), BoF Education (fashion’s platform for online learning), BoF China (a Chinese language edition), VOICES (an annual invitation-only event for leading thinkers and innovators) and the BoF 500 (an index of the people shaping the global fashion industry).
