Event description
The size of the global streetwear market at $185 billion by sales makes it by some estimates about 10% of the entire global apparel and footwear market. And many of those sales are not driven by brick-and-mortar stores. From resell platforms, to global e-commerce players and DTC models, streetwear brands are leading the way on how to sell to GenZ.
Fashion Disrupt is a series of international talks on the business of fashion. We explore what drives fashion brands’ revenues and who are the key players behind the paradigm shifts on the market by inviting them on stage. Since Fashion Disrupt is part of the Startup Disrupt family, our special focus lies in startups, innovation, and technology within this field.
