Fashion Lib

As we speak, more and more pieces of clothing are being shared by both sexes every day, around the globe.

Just as what used to be considered "menswear" for our grannies -trousers, suits, police-uniforms, and such- has been appropriated by the ladies following the women-lib movements, conversely, garments which up until now have been regarded as feminine are slowly starting to be explored by us guys, as several taboos and prejudices are being torn down in our progress towards our own "fashion-lib"!

Take for instance these few examples:

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!

Feel free to post your comment!

Feel free to wear whatever you please!

I do not own the copyright for any of the pictures I publish. My only intention is to promote the creative work of designers, photographers, stylists, and all the artistic talents involved in the production of alternative, inventive, unusually creative fashions.

I'm pretty sure that all those creators benefit from the costless publicity and world-wide promotion they obtain from bloggers around the globe. As a matter of fact, many of them have actually recognized our work.

I make my best effort to always include all the due credits and, whenever possible, to link them to the source where the images were originally published.

Comments

I'm eager to hear from you, my ever increasing number of followers, visitors, and friends!

I'm always pleased to read and to publish all your comments, personal opinions, and whatever experiences you are willing to share with us about the featured fashions and styles. So don't be shy: go ahead and post your input.

Negative comments and criticisms are also welcome! But let me point out that, whatever be the case, pro or con, politeness and respect are always mandatory. Comments containing improper language, as well as derogatory or disrespectful remarks will be deleted.
