Drapers Fashion retail industry news, trends and analysis
30 Under 30 2021
Drapers celebrates and supports the retail leaders of the future in our 30 Under 30 initiative.
Now in its 12th year, the Drapers 30 Under 30 initiative celebrates the rising stars of fashion retail. Those selected for this year’s list have achieved great things under the toughest of circumstances.
There are more entrepreneurs in this year’s Drapers 30 Under 30 than ever before, reflecting both the difficulties facing the high street during the pandemic and the industry’s spirit of innovation. However, there is still plenty of talent to be celebrated within larger retailers and brands.
Whether they have built successful businesses amid uncertainty or helped retailers and brands to thrive under the pressure and adapt for the future, their achievements are all the more remarkable given the circumstances.
We celebrate entrepreneurs, designers, sustainability experts, buyers and many more.
