Why Meryll Rogge’s Appointment at Marni Feels Both Historic and Hollow

Fashion may be bought by women, loved by women, and overwhelmingly studied by women, but when it comes to who gets the top jobs, the old formula still applies. Meryll Rogge’s appointment as Creative Director at Marni is being framed as progress, but in an industry where only 14% of major fashion brands are led by women, her presence feels more like an exception than a shift. Rogge wasn’t hired because she’s a woman, but the fact that she is one is still considered surprising. And that says everything.
