What is The Business of Fashion?
The fashion industry is a multibillion-dollar global enterprise that designs, manufactures, and markets apparel. Fashion may refer to clothing or shoes; it also includes any accessories worn with them and cosmetics worn alongside them.
Imran Amed started The Business of Fashion as a passion project in 2007 when he recognized a gap in the market for professionally informed, analytical, and opinionated reporting on fashion business issues. So he began building it himself while financing it himself, building up an engaged community who looked forward to receiving daily email briefings before checking their Wall Street Journal or urgent work emails in bed each morning.
