THE NEXT GENERATION
FASHION THINK TANK

MISSION

Fashion Forward is a New York-based not-for-profit think tank established to challenge the conventional discourse around the fashion system. Through a multidisciplinary lens, Fashion Forward unravels changes and disruptions in fashion, distilling diverse and unexpected data into intelligent insights, and frames them within accessible media such as exhibitions, white papers, public speaking, cultural guides, and consulting services.

APPROACH

Multinational Non-Profit
Think Tank

Fashion is global. So is Fashion Forward. Based in New York, Fashion Forward currently has domestic, as well as European Union-based partners, and is keen to expand to other parts of the world.

Versatile Project Outputs

From exhibitions, to publications, workshops, and more, Fashion Forward works to provide accessible and approachable outputs for all of our clients, partners, and the public at large.

Transparent Communications
and Initiatives

At Fashion Forward, we believe that transparent and punctual communication fosters respectful relationships and innovative solutions. Breaking the status quo is only possible through open dialogue.

Multidisciplinary Frameworks

Fashion does not exist in a vacuum. In order to understand this global phenomenon, we draw from our backgrounds within the industry, its history, sociology and cross-cultural studies to unravel its complexities and effects.

Qualitative and Quantitative Data Aggregation and Analysis

We use a mix of research methodologies tailored to specific cultures and environments in order to derive the complex analytics needed to create practical and educational outcomes.

Collaborative Process and Methods

We place emphasis on collaborative methods. By bringing together a diverse pool of talents, we strive to merge the most diverse voices, ideas, and practices, ensuring that findings are not representative of only one small sliver of the conversation.
