As the world grapples with an unprecedented public health and economic crisis, exposing deep-rooted social inequality as a climate emergency looms, the fashion industry must learn to respect both people and the planet. It's time for fashion to build a more responsible business model.

Dear BoF Community,

The public health emergency that has gripped the world is creating untold human suffering and savaging the economy. At BoF, we are rising to the challenge and doubling down on our mission to open, inform and connect the global fashion industry.
