Do or Die!

Numéro Homme

Fall Edition

Photography Matthias Vriens-McGrath

Styling Timothy Reukauf

Model David Agbodji

On countless occasions, designs and styles for women have been inspired by a masculine icon. Am I right, Madame Chanel?

So, when styling a man, why can't the looks be drawn from a feminine role model?

Well... the references to disco-music diva Grace Jones are quite obvious in these setups. After all, the Jamaican-American singer, model and actress could be delightfully androgynous herself, to start with!

The French-Nigerian David Agbodji, who models for Calvin Cline, looks stunning in these futuristic pieces, some of which seem to have been drawn right from a Fritz Lang film.

Footloose and Fashion-Free!

We are living exiting times in many senses: technologies allow us to stay in touch with people from around the word and humanity even starts reaching for distant planets.

When it comes to gender, we have gone a long way into accepting our ample, rich sexual diversity that goes way beyond the traditional gender binary: after many centuries of stereotypes, people finally start presenting themselves as bi-gender, non-binary, genderless, genderfluid.

Even cis-gender people, i.e. those falling into the conventional ”male” and “female” categories, are acting, even unconsciously, in ways far removed from traditional patterns: Ladies are becoming more assertive, while gentlemen are allowed to show their emotions and display their “feminine” side.

All this slow but steady modifications in our conduct, which I consider to be extremely healthy and honest, cannot help but being expressed in the way we dress.

Ladies wear pants and “power suits”, while the creativity, the flair, the colors, the design, which used to be reserved for the girls only, are finally reaching the menswear department. Males don’t have to settle for the same old boring, gray, stuff.

Skirts, heels, jewelry and flower-patterns in bright colors for men are not uncommon any more.

My blog, promotes designers and creators of non-conforming fashions.

WARNING: It’s not a blog about "cross-dressing". That's a word that hopefully will one day vanish from our vocabulary as everyone dresses the way they feel suit and that's that!
