Setting trends to ensure that fashionable products are accessible to people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities

We believe fashion should be a platform for self-expression for everyone, no matter their age, gender, race, or body type. And as a global fashion brand, we embrace creating inclusive designs and experiences that celebrate individuality and diversity. Our goal is to empower people from all walks of life with styles that not only reflect who they are but also bring them together as part of a vibrant, united community.

As the fashion and footwear industries continue to evolve, there is a growing awareness of the need for inclusivity and innovation in design. By prioritizing these aspects, Steve Madden not only caters to the needs of a wider audience but also strengthens its competitive advantage and brand reputation in the market.

OUR 2025 TARGETS:

  • Offer accessible options, adaptive styles, and extended sizes across our branded portfolio.
  • Train 100% of designers on inclusive and innovative design principles.
  • Represent BIPOC, LGBTQ+, diverse body types and abilities in all Steve Madden-owned and licensed brand advertising and communications.

PROGRESS:

Accessible and inclusive fashion is important for us. In 2023 and 2024, we expanded our offering to more than 364 styles in extended sizes. In 2024, we also equipped 33% of our design team with inclusive and innovative design training.

To amplify diverse voices, we rolled out several marketing campaigns throughout 2023, celebrating Pride in the UK and Belgium, partnering with Milkshake Festival in the Netherlands, and marking International Women’s Day in the UK alongside Ella Middleton. In 2024, we continued this momentum with an out-of-home campaign featuring inclusive models, a festive Jingle Song collaboration with FEMME5, and Fred’s Glam Party to launch the Fred van Leer X Steve Madden collection.
