Take a count of male designers and you will find, depressingly, that THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM. Here, we salute 10 up-and-coming *women*-centric brands, because no matter what the numbers say—we run the world. ::huge light installation in the shape of your name appears out of nowhere::

<p>First, what a great name. (Designer Jillian Shatken was going to save it for her daughter, fun fact, but the collection came first.) Second, <a href="http://www.saylor.nyc/">what great clothes</a>: easy, breezy, but still chic in a Tibi sort of way. <span></span></p>

Can we be friends, Sylvie Millstein? She makes the big-sleeved, off-the-shoulder-y, neck-tied looks of your 2015-to-end-date-indefinite dreams.

<p>"Behind every great woman is more great women": the motto cofounders Margaret and Katherine Kleveland should use to describe their <a href="https://shopdoen.com/">line of bourgeois-bohème heirlooms</a> and its woman-friendly infrastructure. </p>
