“We don’t really know how many jobs we haven’t got because we’re queer – or because we’re women, or because one’s Black, one’s white,” Donna-Marie notes. “It’s very much a straight white male-dominated industry, especially in photography, so we don’t know about the jobs that we didn’t get but went to a white male photographer instead.”

Annie Leibovitz, famed fashion photographer and partner of the late artist Susan Sontag, is the only queer woman in the industry that The Masons can conjure up on the spot. Alongside Leibovitz in the decidedly empty queer female hall of fashion fame is Jil Sander, founder of her eponymous brand; Becca McCharen-Tran, founder of New York-based brand Chromat, who’s previously told Teen Vogue that “I’m always looking for more lesbians and queer and trans women of colour in fashion - there aren’t enough”; and former president and creative director of J. Crew Jenna Lyons, who was outed by the New York Post in 2011. “When I first moved to New York, the only gay people I knew were men,” Lyons wrote recently in The Cut. “I didn’t even know any gay women.”

One way to increase the number of queer women working in the fashion industry, and to make the prospect of venturing into the fashion sphere more welcoming, would be to shoot more visibly queer women as part of major fashion campaigns.

Why aren’t there more queer women in fashion?
