"Unisex Fashion", announces this dazzling publication in it's home page.

Indeed! Any of these articles could be worn by either sex. Particularly those black leather collars: They can be a symbol of submissiveness (in spite of the aggressive pointed pikes), which nowadays can be applicable to either member of a relationship (be it boy, girl, or in-between).

Or they can have the opposite meaning. For instance, such neckbands were worn by French grisettes at the end of the XIX century as tokens of their emancipation: they wore collars, but had no leashes!

I left out a couple of pics.

Ye olde Buffalo

Skateboarding in breeches? Soccer shoes worn with a Renaissance ruff collar? Fashion or costume?

The tendency won't probably catch, but let's admit that the olde fashions of yore do have, paradoxically, a refreshing effect on today's style.

Perhaps their place is not necessarily the museum after all!

The collection is part of Buffalo Stance, and this particular segment is entitled, not surprinsingly, 'Past' - Monarchy in the

UK.

It was set up by the original Buffalo team, photographer Jamie Morgan with stylists Barry Kamen and Mitzi Lorenz.

The models are siblings: Phoenix and Callum Wilson, and Claude and Louis Simonon.

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!
