Women wear the trousers in the fashion world





Gender inequality in the fashion industry has been a topic of conversation for a while now, an accusation that has an absence of glass ceilings
David Gandy, an English model from Essex has been lamenting the plight of men in fashion. "Women in my industry earn four times more than I do. they're treated with much higher acclaim." says  Gandy in an interview a couple days ago. Is this because they objectify sex in order to earn that extra? or is it just because that's what people rather see. A girl in a tight body suit is definitely more appealing than a man in white pants with a grey hoodie on.


  David is known to be the new James Bond of fashion so why is he so worked up? He's not totally wrong as if I were to think of how many women get to the top in fashion it would be mind boggling, try Stella McCartney, Donna Karan, Alberta Ferreti, Fendi sisters, Alison Loehnis and the like and as for entrepreneurs , magazine editors and fashion hosts there are just too many to mention. The high heels, long hours, and the hard labour all  add up to deliver the glamorised world of fashion. Women aren't any easier to work for then men. Women are made to frequently change their hair, wax their legs, keep their perfect skin after being caked up with make up on a daily basis, asked to look and remain a certain size, eat certain foods. Don't they deserve that extra money? The high glass heels and tight dresses can't help.
