Africa has a strong presence in this year’s Business Of Fashion @bof with 7 African fashion bigwigs making it into the prestigious annual list.

The #BoF500 is a shortlist of the names-to-know shaping the fashion industry across the globe. This year’s edition is being tauted as one of the most diverse lists yet.

The Business of Fashion is proud to unveil the #BoF500 of 2019. Now in its seventh year, our core vision for the #BoF500 has not changed. Each year since 2013, we have been sourcing and discovering new names to add to our community of the people shaping the global fashion industry, based on nominations from existing #BoF500 members. The community itself – now made up of more than 70 nationalities in more than 45 countries – has been an invaluable resource for the BoF team as we sift through hundreds of nominees and conduct research to make sure we are getting a complete picture. For the unveiling of this year’s #BoF500, we are introducing one important change. Instead of removing names each year to make room for new talents, going forwards, we will add 100 new members to the #BoF500 each cycle, resulting in a community that grows stronger and more meaningful over time — including all members from previous years.
