Over onVogue’sThe Run-Through podcast, Chioma Nnadi and Chloe Malle are hosting a shark week featuring interviews with women designers we love to wear. First up is Victoria Beckham. You can find the interviewhere. My Runway colleagues and I did some interviewing of our own, talking to other women designers about the female creatives that inspired them in their early years. It was one of the most edifying projects we’ve done in a while, not just informative but educational. Certain designers, like Rei Kawakubo,Miuccia Prada, and Vivienne Westwood came up over and over, but we learned a few names, too. Never heard of Anja Vang Kragh or Erika Elias? Then give our story a read!
