005 - Struggling with Power in Fashion

StruggleCircle

In this episode the team questions why an industry like fashion, which is mostly dominated by and catered to women, is still run by men. Have you ever noticed that fashion media and the people who make up companies are mostly female, and yet the highest echelons of power in the industry are positions held by men like Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and the like? Well we have, and we want to talk about it. Why is it that a "progressive" industry like fashion hasn't had its #MeToo reckoning? Luke Severin, our President and Creative Director, joins us to discuss why, historically, fashion has struggled with gender equality and power distribution, and shares how we can change that moving forward. The Book by StyleCircle Issue 03 is now available for pre-order as our first print run is SOLD OUT!
