It’s easy to get caught up in the theatrics of New York Fashion Week—troves of street-style paparazzi, Kendall Jenner cameos, and social media overload. But beneath all of the performance lies real pragmatism via an unprecedented number of working women designing clothes for other career women. In a world where we make up nearly half the workforce, it makes so much sense that the industry prioritizes real-world dressing for those of us who actually live—and work—in these clothes day in and day out.
It’s a subtle but significant evolution led by female designers who know what it’s like to multitask. They have deadlines, commutes, and unanswered emails, but they're also supportive partners, moms, and friends.
