LOS ANGELES, United States — The Business of Fashion is delighted to announce the speakers at BoF West, our invitation-only summit, in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, where Silicon Valley, Hollywood and fashion collide.

Industry leaders, entrepreneurs, experts and influencers will join us on stage at the inaugural West Coast summit in Los Angeles on 18 June at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles. We will explore the powerful intersection of creative and technology-based businesses in front of an audience of leaders, decision-makers and creatives from the most influential luxury fashion brands and businesses, as well as consumers watching and participating from the balconies above.
