LONDON, United Kingdom — At the close of 2017, BoF asked speakers at VOICES, its annual gathering for big thinkers in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, to share advice for those seeking to break into the fashion industry and move ahead within it.

From Dries Van Noten's belief in the importance of being well prepared, to Karlie Kloss and Phillip Picardi's focus on staying true to your identity — and more prosaic advice from Dapper Dan and James Scully on the importance of fashion technology and the need for humility as you further your career — hear how to make the most of your fashion career from industry leaders.
