Fashion Fund Brings Luxury Retail Strategist Aboard To Head Up Finance

Saint Louis Fashion Fund, a nonprofit and long-recognized face and voice of fashion for the St. Louis Region, has named Brian Bristow to its Board of Directors. Brian will serve as Fund’s Finance Chairman.  

Brian has an extensive background spanning luxury retail and brand strategy. He is known for his unmatched expertise and a client-first mindset and currently is a Realtor® for Keller Williams Realty.

Prior to transitioning into real estate, Brian managed multimillion-dollar partnerships for global brands like Amazon, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom – skills he now uses to guide home buyers and sellers in the St. Louis area with clarity, precision and trust.

A lifelong admirer of architecture, design, and the meaning of home, Brian sees real estate as the perfect blend of aesthetics, functionality, and personal connection. His pivot into real estate was less of a career change and more of a return to his true passion – helping people find spaces that reflect their lives and aspirations. His mission is to ensure every client feels respected, supported, and thrilled where they land.

“In the same way my venture into real estate has given me permission to chase a passion, joining the Fashion Fund allows me that same opportunity to jump back into a world of creativity and self-expression. My luxury retail experience has given me a foundation to champion and be an advocate for local STL-based fashion designers and businesses, and I am most excited to be a part of Saint Louis Fashion Fund and their program of work,” said Bristow.

“We are thrilled and honored to welcome Brian to the Saint Louis Fashion Fund Board - in fact, he already has agreed to serve as the Board’s Finance Chair. His corporate track record of top-tier results, combined with his passion for design and human connection, makes him a powerful advocate for the Fund and for St. Louis.” said Susan Sherman, Board Chair, Saint Louis Fashion Fund.
