The Female Fashion Designers To Keep An Eye On

Women have made significant impacts to the fight for equality worldwide, and while there’s still more work to be done, we wanted to shine light on a few designers making a difference in the fashion industry.

Marine Serre

With a boost from Beyoncé, Marine Serre’s moon print has become the most popular design of 2020. Despite only having six full collections to her name, Serre’s work has already made its mark on the fashion world at just 28 years old. Website / Shop / Follow on Instagram
