Luxury fashion has long been made for women – and run by men.
Women make up the majority of the front-facing luxury retail workforce. They are the editors we see front row at fashion weeks and it is female spend that accounts for more than two-thirds of clothing sales worldwide.
Yet women seldom get a seat in the boardroom, as men continue to occupy the greater share of the global luxury fashion industry’s top positions.
While there is a new cadre of female CEOs at luxury brands who are shaking up the industry at the upper echelons, there is a long way to go.
The Luxury Stance Podcast is a Luxury Roundtable offering to members, focusing on issues, opportunities, challenges and innovations of the day affecting luxury professionals, luxury brands and those firms serving wealthy and UHNW consumers. Image: Shutterstock
On the newest Luxury Stance Podcast, Luxury Roundtable CEO Mickey ALAM KHAN and Silvetone Consulting president Scott Kerr discuss how the glass ceiling in luxury is not just a metaphor – it is a reality. They talk about the companies that are making progress and what it is going to take for the narrative to shift at a faster pace.
Mickey also takes a deep dive into the Luxury Women's Leadership Summit on June 13, including the key themes of each session and the insights that delegates will gain from listening to the wide range of luxury leaders throughout the day.
