Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
LONDON, United Kingdom — The Business of Fashion is pleased to reveal the latest wave of speakers at VOICES, BoF's new annual gathering for big thinkers, in partnership with QIC Global Real Estate, taking place this December 1-3 just outside London. At the exclusive invitation only event, pressing and urgent issues facing the fashion industry will be hotly debated, from race, gender and diversity to responsible business, creative burnout, and the very nature of the fashion system itself.
We are delighted to announce that master haute couturier John Galliano will share his take on the creativity crisis facing the modern fashion industry, in a rare live conversation with BoF's editor-at-large Tim Blanks, while describing his and his team's creative processes and his vision for Maison Margiela — one of fashion's most cerebral legacies. A powerful, rich and unique story that will be revealed for the first time on the VOICES stage.
