Jaden Smith for Louis Vuitton

Former "Karate Kid" is now the new face of Louis Vuitton,

only that he's modelling "womenswear",

(at least what has traditionally been regarded as such:

a pleated studded skirt matched to a crochet top).

Is the actor-turned-into-rapper-now-turned-into-model considering becoming a runway pro?

Will he become yet another male model displaying clothes intened for the dames to wear?

Or will clothes finally get to be just that, clothes, no matter the biological gender or sexual orientation of whoever chooses to wear them?

On the right, Jaden, in the pursuit of happiness among the girls

Switcheroo!

by Hana Pesut

I truly believe that Hanna's switcheroos should be counted among the most fascinating photographic experiments in the whole Wide Web.

As with all great ideas, the principle is fairly simple: couples switch clothing with one another and have Hanna take their picture.

Results vary, or course, but I dare say that in general the guys look way better when they are wearing their spouses clothing,... or at least less dull!

I say let's be less shy, let's be more adventuresome and creative, let's not be afraid of borrowing garments from our female partners once in a while, as a means of spicing up our wardrobes and as a first step towards mens fashion freedom!

By the way: Hanna Pesut will be conducting a casting for her next switcheroo to take place in Miami, Fl,

from December 6th to 10th.

If you happen to be in that area at the time, and you and your partner (or a couple you know) are interested in doing a switcheroo please email her your availability, location and a photo to sincerelyhana@gmail.com.

This very creative Canadian photographer is currently working in publishing her insightful images in a book.

She has set up an Indiegogo page to help fund the project.

I suggest my readers to visit the page to donate, or at least just spread the word.

Future Perfect

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!

Disclaimer

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.

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.
