In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Stuart Weitzman, the infamous designer of the 5-inch strappy sandal, discussed how the fashion industry has changed over the years, specifically in regards to feminism.
"I know this sounds hard to believe, but women used to do whatever men told them to do when it came to fashion—they really did. If you do your research on the best designers in the world, in the '20s and '30s and '40s and '50s and '60s, it was rare to find anyone [designing] other than Coco Chanel on the feminine side," he told the Huffington Post.
This has changed in recent years, with more female designers (and women in general) taking charge in the industry.
"[Now] we give [women] a choice, because [women] changed. Women became equal to men or better. [Women] tell us what they want," he said.
This sounds like a better situation to us! Has feminism changed the way you look at fashion, collegiettes?
