Female leaders of the fashion industry
2016 witnessed the usurpation of female fashion leaders.
Maria Grazia Chiuri
“75% of Dior’s employees are women.
Cultural world
Feminism in music – Symbols of rebellious feminism
And with her first collection, Maria answered this expectation.
A new Dior is seen as strong, not gentle.
Dior Spring Summer 2017
At 52 years old, Maria does not tie herself to anything, whether family or work.
Do you see that life as close to your dream of liberating yourself?
Lanvin Spring Summer 2017
After Christian Dior, a brand that always promotes femininity, Lanvin, also announced a new creative director, Bouchra Jarrar.
“I’m looking for a path of sensuality and intimacy, designing clothes that honor the body… I’m looking for what’s essential and balanced.
The catwalk stirs up `feminism`
Not only female designers, the 2016 fashion catwalk recognized the battle for women’s rights, in which the leaders were also male designers.
Givenchy Spring Summer 2017
Let’s start with Riccardo Tisci opening Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 2017 show with jewel-printed designs.
Besides tight, strong and monochrome dress designs, there are multi-colored designs, even polka dots on soft, see-through materials… Riccardo believes that feminism should not have uniforms or stereotypes.
Balmain Spring Summer 2017
Meanwhile at Balmain, creative director Olivier Rousteing decided to change.
Cultural world
Virginia Woolf, founder of feminist critical theory in literature
Amidst those `non-Balmain` changes, you can still find the idea of Balmain’s sexiness through metallic luster, bold cut-out lines… It all seems inconsistent, but is unified in one way.
Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2017
We also cannot forget to mention an extremely strong statement by Louis Vuitton.
