What I want is for every woman who comes after Astrid to never have to read a McKinsey report saying that only fourteen percent of major fashion brands have a female executive in charge, that only five percent of Fortune 500 clothing companies have female CEOs. And I never want to read another hand-wringing report about a female designer taking over from a man at a famous fashion house that wonders how she’ll live up to the great genius who went before her.”
