Re: Jaden Smith Stars In Louis Vuitton's New Womenswear Camp

Here's a take on this in today's NYT: "If 2015 was the year unisex became a trend in fashion, 2016 may be the year the question of gender and dress enters an entirely different dimension..." http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/07/fashion/jaden-smith-for-louis-vuitton-the-new-man-in-a-skirt.h...

Celebrity Kilt Maker Goes Pink For Cancer

"Kiltmaker to the stars Howie Nicholsby has joined forces with Breast Cancer Now and designed a special pink kilt to raise vital funds for the charity." A nice shade of pink I'd say. Read more at http://thirdforcenews.org.uk/tfn-news/celebrity-kiltmaker-goes-pink-for-cancer#Lt2xZVSqkrWmfD9...

Re: A comfy alternative to pants for men

For me that yielded a nag-advert that locked the page and when I declined to subscribe to the rag took me someplace else and the original story disappeared. I was ultimately able to read the snippet in the HTML source-code -- although it was completely swamped by advert-driving Javascript -- and be...

Re: Everybody in dresses: Why does gender neutral clothing a

You can compare the popularity of terms, and I've found that "man skirt" seems to be the most popular term among those one could imagine as being related. "Men in skirts" is significantly less popular now. Indeed you are correct! image.jpg I take this linguistic development as a...

Re: Everybody in dresses: Why does gender neutral clothing a

Google Trends shows "men in skirts" at a relatively high level this month and consistent search activity for this phrase for the last five years which would seem to indicate it's part of the cultural dialogue at present if nothing else. What's on the Y axis? It's not labelled with any sor...

Re: Everybody in dresses: Why does gender neutral clothing a

Why aren't men FIGHTING for the RIGHT to wear skirts and other female garments? Here's why: It's because we've had it hammered into our skulls (as men and boys) from birth that men don't wear "women's clothing" in western "civilisation", and that those who do have something &quo...

Everybody in dresses: Why does gender neutral clothing alway

http://fb.me/7vh7Iv9iN Because if we’re going to escape the tyranny of all-gendered-everything (special lip balm for men? are you kidding me?), we need to start with letting kids choose clothes from whatever — arbitrarily divided — section of the clothing store they want. All kids, not just the gir...

Re: Designer Shayne Oliver - Future of Fashion Is Gender-Fre

"When men wear my clothes, they say, 'I can rock a dress and still feel handsome.' Once you get that vibe going, the style just falls into place naturally."
I like this attitude. Good to see it continuing to spread.

Re: Article in International Business Times

Power can be illusory, and recall that "behind" most of those who do pull the levers of power lies somebody who could bring any one of those individuals down in an instant with a mere allegation. In that context, where does power really lie? Well, one could, and some probably do, have a w...
