CREATIVE DIRECTORY 2025 EDITION- full directory with on my substack now <3It has been over a year since I started this project, and one day it will become my life’s work: a chronological timeline of all creative direction in fashion and its interconnectivity.When I started this research in 2024, I could barely keep up with the constant hires and fires at houses like Chanel, Gucci, Helmut Lang, Margiela, and so many more. What began as a few casual searches quickly spiraled into this intricate sartorial spiderweb. I realized we are in a great shift in the fashion industry much like the one that happened back in 2003-2008. So, I started compiling this visual and written record of artistic leadership comprehensively. And here we are.I plan to keep expanding this into a larger resource each year, maybe even a book eventually. I’d love to incorporate more layers like where these designers trained too - schools and internships, like Martin Margiela and Glenn Martens studied under Jean Paul Gaultier, highlight the Antwerp 6, as well as map the broader structures of LVMH, Kering, OTB, so more to come. by @ashantea
