Company mission

To build fashion’s global membership community to open, inform and connect the industry.

Our take

The Business of Fashion (BoF) provides independent journalism about the fashion industry. The company serves members in over 125 countries.

The BoF differentiates itself through its original reporting and analysis and through its fairness and integrity. The BoF's main source of revenue comes from subscriptions for BoF Professional (its paid news and analysis product), thus the company's main priority is offering unbiased, well-researched analysis to customers in order to ensure that the business model continues to work. Moreover, all investors must sign a document that guarantees the company's complete editorial independence.

The BoF's main purpose is to increase its activity in order to become an indispensable daily resource for creatives, business professionals and entrepreneurs in the fashion industry.
