Live from Harayuku

The boldness and carefree expressiveness of Japanese young men as they chose their outfit can surprise even me!

Those youngsters seemingly have no problem in dressing in whatever fashion they fancy, as they make use of their clothing to express themselves in a totally individual way, free of any outmoded preconceptions.

My main source of Nipponese street fashion is, of course, the very entertaining blog

Bizarre's the Key Note

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!

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.
