What fashion should know about Gen-Z
As Generation Z makes up 25% of the global population, BoF shares its latest insights on the impact this consumer base will have on fashion.

This means they have also contributed to the extreme speed-up of the trend cycle, despite having a proven overall distaste for fast fashion.
