THE 8 WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE FASHION INDUSTRY

8 Women Who Changed Fashion. Fashion has the power to transform our world, and we experience it every day. We express our personality or our mood of the day through it, whether it's with a look we've been thinking about for days, or on those days when we're not very inspired and are looking for comfort.
But fashion has also marked significant milestones, moments of change that represent a before and after, bringing us ever closer to freedom. We'll tell you about 8 iconic fashion moments that have empowered us, starting with the first InternationalWomen 's Day in 1909 and featuring 8 women who changed fashion.

1. COCO CHANEL 1918


Coco Chanel aimed to bring innovations to women's fashion: she abandoned the corset and encouraged women to wear trousers. In her own words, she said, "Fashion is temporary, but style lasts. My approach was to cut away what others added."


2. MARLENE DIETRICH

Marlene challenged gender norms in her films and personal life, wearing suits and adopting an attitude that defied the expectations of the time. The police even threatened to arrest her for wearing trousers. Her style influenced the fashion world and the perception of femininity and masculinity. In the 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent made her an icon.


3. MARY QUANT

With the creation of the miniskirt, Mary Quant ushered women into an era of independence and liberation, challenging existing norms and demonstrating their ability to break free from convention. Miniskirts became a symbol of freedom and modernity.


4. CAROLINA HERRERA

Forty years ago, a milestone was reached that has been largely overlooked: dressing women in white shirts for the first time. Indeed, this garment had previously been reserved for men, who conducted business dressed in tailored suits, poplin shirts, and ties.


5. MADELEINE VIONNET

She vehemently rejected the corset. Her great contribution to the world of fashion was the bias cut, a garment-making technique used to create one-piece designs. Dresses cut with this technique have a fluid drape and fit the body well without constricting it. She created a silhouette that adapted to the female body and freed it from the constraints of what she dismissed as "orthopedic."


6. VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

Vivienne Westwood, the renowned British fashion designer, has left a distinctive mark on the industry by challenging conventional norms and advocating for individual expression through her creations. Westwood has challenged traditional notions of gender with designs that blur the lines between menswear and womenswear, thus encouraging freedom in clothing choices without predefined gender restrictions. Her focus on individuality has empowered people, allowing them to express their identity without limitations imposed by gender norms.


7. MIUCCIA PRADA

Miuccia Prada's power dressing aimed not only to make women look good, but also to make them feel confident, strong, and capable of conquering any sphere, including the workplace. Her designs challenged traditional dress codes, freeing women from the rigidity of men's suits and allowing them to express their individuality.


8. Diane von Furstenberg

The designer who created the iconic wrap dress, a versatile and empowering garment for women. With its design that adapts to different silhouettes, the dress became a symbol of freedom and comfort for women. Furthermore, Von Fürstenberg championed women's economic independence, creating a brand aimed at working women who were confident and self-assured.
