By dismantling barriers and blending historical influences with contemporary tailoring, fashion continually evolves as a form of self- expression, playing a significant role in advocating for social change and breaking down traditional gender roles. The concept of the 'New Woman' and her ability to unapologetically conquer the corporate frontier is a powerful narrative that resonates with the broader movement towards gender equality and women's empowerment in the modern world.
