16. Founder
Chauncey Zalkin, is a writer, brand strategist, ethnographer, and female advocate.
In 1999, she founded girlonthestreet.com, an homage to entrepreneurial ‘boot-
strapping’ young women which was nominated for a Webby in 2003. Out of this
vision she developed a network of creative young women in fourteen countries to
tell their own story. Later, she joined the ad world as a senior brand strategist and
insights expert leading strategy on brands from Coca-Cola to Victoria’s Secret
before moving to Paris in 2007. Since moving to Europe, she’s reported from Salone
del Mobile, Frieze Art Fair, the London Design Festival, Bread and Butter, and the
back alley artisan workshops of Kyoto and Tokyo.
Her public speaking includes The Future of Interactivity in Paris, the VNU ‘What
Teens Want’ conference, the Imagination Festival in New York and an ethnography
workshop in Barcelona in partnership with Brain Ventures for clients such as Pan
Rico and Gallina Blanca. Based in Barcelona since 2009, she teaches both brand
strategy and insights at the Istituto Europeo de Design and consults with Futurelab.
Her reportage has appeared in Honey, Complex, MTV News, the New York Post,
Trace, Terrace, The Source, Cosmopolitan, Brandchannel.com and most recently
the magazine of Spain’s financial paper, Comunicas.
What Women Make is an evolution of her continued dedication to showcasing global
female creativity. It can be found at www.whatwomenmake.com

Shigeta
Japan
Fashion usually equals western clothing but Natsuki takes
something very traditional and turns it on its head. Kimono is
demure and her approach is very ‘too much’ “too much is
better than so so,” she says.
