Fashion’s constant creative director turnover is giving us all whiplash. It seems like there’s a new creative director being hired every week, with four appointments and six exits announced in the past three months alone.
This constant changing of the guard is exciting, but also exhausting. And the elephant in the room is still the lack of diversity among new appointments.
