Why are most fashion designers men?

Theory:

Man desires to create the ideal “look” for woman.

Then another thought:

Why is most high end or famous fashion designer (men)… are gay, bi-sexual, etc?

Sociological theory — modern day society doesn’t encourage “straight” men to go into fashion, as it is traditionally seen as the realm of women.

However note all the top brands:

  1. Louis Vuitton (male name)
  2. Gucci (founded by Guccio Gucci — man)
  3. Balenciaga — Cristobal.
  4. Calvin Klein

The list goes on … but mostly male dominated.

Female fashion founders — Coco Chanel. But who else?
