Do Women Do It Better?

donatella-v.jpgDo women make better designers than men? Pointing out how many women are being appointed creative directors at high-end labels -- think Alessandra Facchinetti at Valentino and Frida Giannini at Gucci -- WWD wonders if the ladies are finally in charge of dressing themselves. "In the early nineties, the creative directors of fashion houses were nearly all men," Floriane de Saint Pierre, an executive headhunter, told the mag. And of course you can't forget Miuccia and Donatella. A poll asking whether women make better designers than men (it stands at 58% in favor of the ladies right now) is still open, so weigh in.

well i think women have the upper hand of knowing what women want, i.e no side boob, but men can design pants around women. It is really a toss up. and for the record, donatella scares the crap out of me. too.much.botox. ease up.

glad you mention side boobs. i feel like half the dresses i see in shops interfere with any sort of bra action, a little disappointing for the gals who need a little support.
