This year, BoF and Dubai Design District (d3) released a white paper on the new consumer trends and business opportunities in Dubai’s rapidly growing fashion industry. The paper draws on exclusive data from a survey of more than 1,000 Dubai residents, conducted by d3 and BoF Insights — BoF’s data and analysis think tank — to better understand consumer expectations and behaviour in the city.
For our next #BoFLIVE, on Wednesday, September 17 at 16:00 BST / 11:00 EDT, BoF’s commercial features director and author of the paper, Sophie Soar, will be joined by market-leading experts Reem Al Aboodi, head of business development at d3, Jasmina Banda, president of joint ventures at Chalhoub Group, and Rawan Maki, head of advisory at BoF Insights, to analyse learnings from the report and add new insight on consumer expectations and on-the-ground experiences in Dubai.
