Kicking off 2024, BoF Careers shares key learnings for fashion professionals from BoF and McKinsey & Co.'s eighth annual State of Fashion report for 2024.

  • Design: Technical outdoor wear has been propelled by consumers' post-pandemic embrace of healthier lifestyles and is likely to accelerate even further in 2024. More brands will forge ever-closer ties between style and utility. Discover design jobs on BoF Careers.

  • Marketing: 71 percent of fashion executives plan to spend more on brand marketing in 2024 than 2023 in a bid to cultivate emotional connections with customers, while only 46 percent intend to do so for performance marketing. Find marketing jobs on BoF Careers.

  • Retail: For expanding physical footprints, the US, Middle East and Asia Pacific stand out as priorities. Luxury's global retail sales growth is forecast to slow while non-luxury retail sales growth will remain steady. Explore retail jobs on BoF Careers.

  • PR & Communications: Over 40 percent of consumers prefer fashion influencers who are relatable and authentic. Working with these personalities will require an emphasis on video and a willingness to relinquish a degree of creative control. Search PR & comms jobs.

  • Buying & Merchandising: Travel is projected to exceed pre-pandemic flows for the first time in 2024, and 40 percent of travellers are willing to spend half or more of their travel budget on a highly curated moment or experience. Browse buying & merchandising jobs on BoF Careers.

  • E-Commerce & Tech: 2023 was a big year for Gen AI, with 73 percent of fashion executives saying it will be a priority for their businesses in 2024. Meanwhile, e-commerce activity is expected to pick up after a post-pandemic slowdown. Explore e-comm and tech jobs on BoF Careers.

  • Production: As upstream supply-chain activities account for the majority of carbon emissions in apparel, there may be a sharper focus on decarbonising material and garment production. Search production jobs on BoF Careers.
