WWD, Footwear News and Beauty Inc asked this year’s 50 most powerful women in fashion, beauty, retail and accessories: “If you could have any power in the world, what would it be?” Here are their answers.

Shannon Abloh, chief executive officer and managing director, Virgil Abloh Securities “Of course, I wish I had the power to bring Virgil back. Aside from that, I hope for the power to honor Virgil’s life in the best way possible, to ensure his impact as a groundbreaking designer and his legacy of creativity, leadership and generosity live on for generations to come. I wish for the power to bring together a community that builds on the foundation Virgil laid for championing equality in art, design and all the spaces he cared so much about.”

Jessica Alba, founder, The Honest Co. “If I could have any super power, it would be to infuse compassion and empathy in everyone that I come into contact with, granting them this gift as the lens through which they experience the world.”
