Designing for a heterosexual woman today is no longer a progressive idea. It is a traditional idea.
So when a nontrivial faction of the societal movement is away from this notion, fashion as a progressive field reflects it.
The resentment from some traditional women who spend 6 figure at Chanel (not me. I am just a messenger!) is very telling.
A mother will always miss some business, unless you rent a womb. So in a way, the current progressive culture leaves heterosexual women behind even more.
No wonder fewer women want kids, in addition to other aspects such as financial conditions.
But the fashion houses all have choices. Perhaps most wil eventually present the most outlandish ideas on the runway, but showing the more traditional pieces in stores. Unless men change the way they dress in the boardroom, I don't see women submitting to those clown outfits, some with $10,000 price tags.
Going back to the topic. I don't care if the CD is a man or a woman. The CD needs to understand women and respect women. It looks to me that fewer people show such interest nowadays. But they exist with a strong force, and I will name Sacai, Tao, and CDG. (CDG is often seemingly impractical but it has many lines that can be very practical.)
