Fashion

While women purchase three times more clothing than men. So now we know why there’s nothing practical or exciting for us to purchase. Men are in charge!

That is extremely ironic, in a depressing way.

Did not have room to add that this quote is from an article in June/July GLAMOUR magazine.

Im not surpised by this in the least.  Im also sure that bras are designed and sold by males too, (except Breezies) of course, which are worthless too.

I am not really shocked or surprised by this stat. It has always been a male dominated field. I don’t think being a female designer necessarily means the fashions and styles will be better. There are a few female designers who have collections I would never wear. It really depends on how your personal style preferences match up with a particular brand aesthetic regardless of the gender of the designer.

@Imaoldhippie  In the beginning, the husband/father, who founded the company, was the spokesperson with his wife. Then for whatever reason, he dropped out of sight and the “Girls” took over.

Just goes to show that this is still a man's world we live in.

@wilma I don't think the head designer of any fashion company is always the CEO. I'm certainly no expert on the topic. Men can certainly design good clothing for women, but why the lack of female CEOs? Unfortunately it simply reflects the lack of female CEOs in general.

Good point. I was thinking more head designers than CEOs. Even with all the progress made by women in business it is still a shame that it is difficult for women to break through that “glass ceiling”.
