The conversation on gender diversity continues.
Recently published data from fashion insight platform TagWalk paints a surprisingly illuminating picture of the fashion industry right now - and a fascinating overview of those who run it.
The latest data from the Womenswear AW24 report reveals an interesting trend: out of the top 20 brands, nine are led by female creative directors, with notable names like Jil Sander and Prada at the forefront. The data reveals first place as none other than Miu Miu’s Miuccia Prada, followed by Louis Vuitton’s Nicholas Ghesquiere, Chanel’s Virginie Viard, and Chloé’s Chemena Kamali. Although women make up the minority of fashion’s creative directors, it’s clear that the ones who do, however, outperform.
