John Rocha

I'm like a conductor. I come up with ideas, and I get all these people to make great music together. I have a team of really talented assistant designers. I have architects in my office. People I trained from the beginning in menswear, womenswear, and home. I have a great team who know what I want and feel and translate that into beautiful results.

Chinese Designer

Sinead Burke

I want garments that reflect my personality. It's difficult to find in the childrenswear department. And often, womenswear requires far too many alterations. I want shoes that affect my maturity, professionalism, and sophistication. Instead, I'm offered sneakers with Velcro straps and light-up shoes.

Designer

Rain Dove

I think it's a different kind of activism. Like, women shouldn't have to step into men's roles to be empowered. They should be able to step into themselves. So that's what I try to bring, that we shouldn't be thinking of it as menswear or womenswear; it should be clothing for people.

American Model

Jonathan Anderson

I find it very difficult to see the boundary between womenswear and menswear. It's bizarre the ways in which society reacts; they find it difficult to comprehend seeing parts of the body on a man. I think it's fascinating.

Irish Designer

Ozwald Boateng

I'm ready to do womenswear. You've always got to be inspired by something new - women have so much more shape and I'm about finding what to engineer around those shapes.

English Designer

EJ Johnson

All the people that are so quick to say that, like, because I wear womenswear sometimes, that means I'm transitioning. People are just so ignorant and dumb sometimes.

American Celebrity

Thom Browne

Doing womenswear is challenging, and it's exciting. I approach it the same way as I approach menswear, so it's in a tailored way, and I do my thing. I love doing it.

American Designer

Tommy Dorfman

It's really rare that you find a designer who's willing to dress people who maybe present more masculine in their womenswear.

American Actor

Helena Christensen

I like people who dress quirkly and differently. Like in womenswear, thank god for Helena Bonham Carter!

Danish Model

Matthew Williamson

My womenswear line would translate well into childrenswear.

British Designer

Womenswear refers exclusively to clothing intended for those identifying as female.

Gender Specific

Fashion professionals often use 'womenswear' to discuss trends and designs for women.

Fashion Industry

In stores, 'womenswear' is a common category label, usually separate from menswear and children's clothing.

Retail Categories

 is an incredibly dangerous experience. But design also impinges on the clothes that I want to wear. I want garments that reflect my personality. It's difficult to find in the childrenswear department. And often womenswear requires far too many alterations.
