On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we spotlight brands led by women who are setting new standards through creativity, entrepreneurship, and style.

 

March 8 marks International Women’s Day – a moment to celebrate brands shaped by remarkable women. Whether as founders, creative directors, or visionaries redefining family businesses for a new generation, these women are making their mark on the worlds of fashion and creativity.

 

This is just a glimpse: throughout STEFFL, many more brands across all floors tell inspiring stories of female talent, leadership, and innovation.

At the helm of some of fashion’s most influential houses are women with a clear vision and a distinctive creative signature. Miuccia Prada transformed the traditional Prada family business into a global luxury powerhouse – intellectual, progressive, and consistently ahead of the curve. With the launch of Miu Miu in 1993, she created a second platform for a freer, more rebellious expression of femininity.

Women Shaping Fashion History

Maria Grazia Chiuri is another of the most influential voices in contemporary luxury fashion. Her feminist perspective has left a lasting mark on Dior, redefining the house through a modern lens. Today, she has returned to Fendi, where she began her career and helped create iconic designs such as the legendary Fendi Baguette Bag.

 

At Bottega Veneta, Louise Trotter represents another powerful force at the creative helm. Drawing on experience gained in New York, Paris, and London, she translates an international perspective into a refined new design language – understated, confident, and distinctly modern.

Konges Sløjd – Creativity from Copenhagen

MANDALA – Sustainable Activewear with Heart

In 2000, Nathalie Prieger founded the label MANDALA in Munich after deciding she could no longer support unethical production practices. An extended stay in India inspired both her love for the country and her passion for yoga – influences that continue to shape the brand to this day.

Long before sustainable activewear became mainstream, Nathalie remained committed to her vision, building MANDALA into a successful brand rooted in conscious design, responsibility, and wellbeing.

The French fashion house Sandro is widely recognised – yet the woman behind the brand is less well known: Evelyne Chetrite.

 

Her childhood in Morocco shaped her appreciation for bold colours, clean lines, and impeccable craftsmanship. It was in Paris, however, that she discovered her true calling: fashion.

Sandro – The Woman Behind Parisian Chic

In 1984, together with Didier Chetrite, she founded Sandro in the heart of the Marais district, laying the foundation for what would become one of France’s leading contemporary fashion brands.

To this day, Sandro is synonymous with masculine-feminine chic, effortless Parisian elegance, and a wardrobe designed to empower women with confidence and understated sophistication.
