Changes brought on by the pandemic are giving way to a new reality, requiring industry leaders to re-evaluate their business, creative and sustainability strategies to match new market conditions and rapidly evolving customer sentiment.

Join us for BoF VOICES Session 2 on Nov. 30, to meet the global pioneers who are shifting the industry’s status quo.

• Achim Berg, McKinsey senior partner, together with BoF’s Imran Amed will unveil the exclusive findings from the much-anticipated State of Fashion 2023 report.
• Tariq Fancy will share why he believes ESG investing is a “dangerous placebo” — and what the reality of the commitments we need to see look like, at scale.
• Maxine Bédat, founder and director of New Standard Institute, will join Baroness Lola Young to detail why regulation is the industry’s only hope in driving sustainable transformation.
• Michael Murray, chief executive of luxury retailer Flannels and Cecilia Morelli, co-founder of Mumbai’s luxury concept store Le Mill, will make the case for courting luxury’s forgotten customers.
• Carlos Nazario, global fashion director of i-D, will share their insights on building powerful, creative imagery for a new and inclusive age in fashion.
• Jerry Lorenzo will discuss the evolution of his label, Fear of God, from category expansion, to creative collaboration and building a winning diffusion line strategy.
