Simons: Skirts Again!

Raf Simons

Truly elegant pencil skirts and ample trousers dominate the Belgian designer's show, as well as refined vests snd tops.

The getups are so stylish, that I'm pretty sure we will be coming upon them on the streets next season. Dont' you agree?

Thom Browne: in short from outer space

Thom Browne

Spring summer 2011

After a very dramatic entrance in astronaut gear, Thom Browne's models displayed his latest creations for the upcoming season.

Browne, who had recently proposed a skirted suit, is now suggesting yet another variant: short-pants for the white-collared executive.

Rick Owens' Summertime

Rick Owens

Menswear Summer 2011

Handsome, a bit over-sized, short sleeved, single-buttoned coats; ample shorts worn with boots; one-strap, transparent tees, and Owen's signature "spread out" boots: a rare combination of inventiveness, casualness and balanced grace.

Just a sample of what the avante-garde Californian designer has in store for the upcoming season.

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!
