That's a lot of assumptions you've made without any backing.
1) Building a startup requires the ability to build a tech product and knowing how to solve a problem and sell it. Bob the literature professor is not a good example, as he would not know either - but these guys could clearly build the product at the very least.
If you looked at their backgrounds, at least the CEO (OP) had previously started a fairly successful apparel company. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentmori https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentmori
So to correct your analogy, this is like if Bob the video game software engineer was starting a video game startup.
2) Many top fashion companies are built by men. In fact, H&M - your example - was founded by a man.

I'm all for diversity, but your comment is overly harsh in tone and not back by substance.

It was Bob, a professor of literature, who tried writing a tetris clone in college got to drawing pieces, who tried starting a video game company > 2) Many top fashion companies are built by men.

It is about a vegan starting a butcher shop and getting accolades for waxing about reasons for a failure.
