Winning W/ Gen-Z

A handful of boutiques have pioneered the luxury market of tomorrow, forging strong connections with young fashion consumers.

Futurist and science fiction writer William Gibson likes to say: “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed.” Gen Z is the first generation of truly digital natives born into an era in which the ubiquitous internet and the shared economy were never a novelty. Gen Zers, who are already gaining spending power to dictate the trends of the future, are more money-conscious and prefer everything #NoFilter, compared to their millennial counterparts who are used to a world designed and curated for them. 

Here are 10 brands that BoF recognized as having cultivated strong connections with Gen-Zers across the world:

1.     Kith, New York, United States

2.     Ssense, Montreal, Canada

3.     Machine-A, London, United Kingdom

4.     The Broken Arm, Paris, France

5.     Smets, Luxembourg

6.     Antonioli, Milan, Italy

7.     Alara, Lagos, Nigeria

8.     Asthik, Kiev, Ukraine

9.     KM20, Moscow, Russia

10.     GR8, Tokyo, Japan
