Black Woman Takes on Male-Dominated Women’s Online Fashion Industry
Shop Style Shark, a fast-growing, Black woman-owned online retailer is taking on the largely male-dominated online fashion industry.
Dionne Middlebrooks, founder of online fashion retailer Shop Style Shark, is changing the game as a female owner. The fashion industry – and particularly online fashion – continues to be male-dominated even though women spend over 200% more money on fashion than men. What’s more, even though 85% of people who graduate from fashion school are female, only 14% of the top 50 fashion houses are run by women. And, only 40% of women’s fashion brands are designed by women.
