On Saturday, a group of the world’s most influential figures in fashion and popular culture gathered at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris to celebrate The BoF 500, the definitive index of the people shaping the global fashion industry.
Since 2013, BoF has gathered together a global community of fashion’s most influential people — based on their leadership, creativity, innovation and impact — across eight categories:
Designers, Executives, Media, Retailers, Entrepreneurs, Creative Class, Models & Muses and Catalysts.
This year, attendees at the BoF 500 Gala were a global mix hailing from more than 35 countries. They came from as far away as Japan, India, Brazil and Australia; from Rwanda, Nigeria and Kenya; from Mexico and Colombia and from the UAE, Egypt and Kuwait.
