About

FashionUnited is an international business-to-business fashion industry platform founded in 1999 by Lennard Minderhoud and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The platform combines fashion trade news, job boards, industry statistics, directories, and business intelligence, and has grown into one of the industry's most used online networks for fashion professionals.

FashionUnited operates in more than 25 countries with websites available in 16 languages, serving markets across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Its core offering for the labor market is the FashionUnited jobs platform, a dedicated fashion career marketplace where luxury houses, premium brands, retailers, and suppliers post positions ranging from retail and design roles to corporate, digital, and executive functions. Employers that have used the network include major fashion and luxury companies recruiting across multiple markets.

Alongside recruitment, FashionUnited publishes daily industry news covering luxury conglomerates, designer brands, and retail, as well as market data and an education network created in 2010 that connects fashion schools and students with the industry.

The platform is free to browse for job seekers, with employers paying to post vacancies and access recruitment services. FashionUnited remains independently operated from its Amsterdam headquarters.

FashionUnited's genuine advantage over most fashion job boards is scale of international footprint: operating across more than 25 countries in 16 languages is a meaningfully different proposition than a single-market platform, and it matters for luxury houses that recruit across European, American, and Asian offices simultaneously and would otherwise need separate regional job boards. Pairing recruitment with daily trade news coverage of luxury conglomerates and retail gives the platform a reason for professionals to visit even when not actively job hunting, which in turn keeps the employer-facing audience larger and more engaged than a pure transactional job board would attract. The education network connecting fashion schools with the industry since 2010 is a smart, longer-horizon play that builds brand affinity with early-career talent before they're even job-seeking. Coverage skews broader fashion and retail rather than being exclusively luxury-focused, so luxury-specific searches sometimes require more filtering than a dedicated luxury-only platform would need. Two and a half decades of continuous, independent operation from Amsterdam is itself a reasonable proxy for sustained relevance in a sector where recruitment platforms come and go.
