LONDON, United Kingdom — The Business of Fashion and Topshop are embarking on a long-term partnership to nurture the next generation of fashion talent.

"From the very early days of BoF, young, high-potential talents have formed an essential and highly-engaged segment of our global community," said Imran Amed, founder and chief executive of The Business of Fashion. "BoF's content is already an essential tool in fashion and business schools around the world, and I am thrilled that, through our new Future VOICES partnership with Topshop, students will continue to have uninterrupted access to our award-winning content and events, wherever they are in the world, and that they will be able to bring their energy and insights to VOICES, our annual flagship event."

Next month, BoF and Topshop will launch a global 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, an hour outside of London.

Topshop will also provide exclusive livestreaming from VOICES, enabling a global online audience to participate in discussions with the fashion industry’s leading figures, transforming the exclusive event into a wider conversation about critical issues facing fashion now.

For Topshop, Future VOICES is a progression and extension of our long time support of grass roots talent.
