Celebrating Female Designers on International Women's Day

We often admire pieces without fully understanding the stories behind them or the designers' journeys, which only adds to their beauty. At Designer Exchange, we sell a selection of exceptional brands from incredible female designers and each of these designers offers a story of creativity and resilience in the fashion industry. Their influence reaches far beyond fashion, as they continue to pave the way for sustainable practices, inclusivity, and social change. So, celebrate International Women’s Day by shopping iconic pieces from talented female designers.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney is renowned for her commitment to sustainable fashion, often leading the charge in ethical design practices. As the daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney, she has blended her love for fashion with a passion for the environment. Since launching her brand in 2001, she has built a strong reputation for using cruelty-free materials and promoting eco-consciousness in the fashion industry.

The Falabella Bag is perhaps the most iconic accessory from Stella McCartney, the Falabella is a soft, slouchy bag with a chain trim. Shop our Falabella's now!

Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood’s career is nothing short of revolutionary. A true icon in the fashion world, she’s best known for popularising punk fashion in the 1970s and for making political statements through her designs; they became synonymous with rebellion. Throughout her career, Westwood has remained an advocate for environmental and political causes, using fashion as a platform to inspire change. Her bold and often controversial designs continue to influence designers today.

Westwood’s orb logo, which is an abstract crown and globe, became a widely recognised symbol of her brand. Not forgetting classic prints like her bold tartan pieces, we have everything here for you to shop.

Victoria Beckham

After her time with the Spice Girls, Victoria pursued a career in fashion, launching her brand in 2008. Victoria's sophisticated pieces soon caught the attention of the fashion world, and she was praised for impeccable tailoring and modern designs. Beyond fashion, Victoria has become a symbol of the entrepreneurial spirit of women, proving that success can come from passion, hard work, and a willingness to evolve.

Victoria Beckham is known for her sharp, minimalist aesthetic, and the shift dress she often designs (in various fabrics and colours) has become iconic. Shop her sleek silhouettes that flatter the body.
