LONDON, United Kingdom — Today, BoF and Topshop are launching a competition to identify 10 breakthrough talents from around the world to participate and present their ideas at VOICES, BoF's new annual gathering for big thinkers, taking place from 1-3 December at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
Applicants can hail from anywhere in the world, but must be 30 years of age or under as of 1 December, 2016 and have a demonstrated passion for the future of the global fashion industry.
The application process requires entrants to write 250 words on the biggest opportunity facing the fashion industry right now and how they would seize it. Entrants must also submit a 60-second video "elevator pitch" explaining why they believe they are one of fashion's Future VOICES.
