For this yearās class of College Women of the Year, we returned to our roots, in a way: fashion students. Glamour has a long history of celebrating and supporting changemakers in the industry, from honoring disruptive designers to our annual By Women initiative that spotlights women-owned brands.
We believe the next generation of business-savvy professionals, creative thinkers, andāyesāwell-dressed women can and will change the lack of female creative directors, wage disparity, and other issues the industry faces. The six college students weāre honoring this year represent the future of fashion. Introducing:
-Aanya Sachdeva, the design student whose motto is āfashion for changeā
-Kennedy Hoyt, an art history major who plans to launch her own PR agency to support BIPOC-owned brands one day
-Kyra Brummage, an entrepreneurship major styling stars in between classes
-Lucy Ivey, an applied communications student who launched her own fashion and culture publication, Our Era
-Mary Bellakbira, a biomedical engineering major researching the link between fabric, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and womenās hormonal health
-Rain Hashimoto, a fashion merchandising and international relations double major who left a comfortable job at luxury jewelry company to pursue her dreams
These women are breaking barriers, setting new standards, and making a positive impact in their communities. Get to know their stories at the link in bio.
