Should there be more women creative directors at fashion’s top heritage houses? Absolutely. As Donatella Versace put it, when the question was asked of her: “It’s vital to have women in all senior positions within all industries—the world is a better place when you have diverse perspectives.” Or consider this from Maria Grazia Chiuri, who has rallied collaborators around her at Dior since day one. “From the beginning, the idea was to show how much fashion is a big community.” As of now, though, there just isn’t enough diversity in the fashion industry’s upper ranks—neither gender diversity nor racial diversity, for which the statistics are even worse.
