“An advocate of the ‘Men In Skirts’ movement”
And like that, a movement has a name.
Hope he’s a big “influencer” and has a positive impact

One of the BEST answers I've ever seen
Go forward, head held high, show confidence to the world, not matter what you're feeling inside....

One of the best ways to describe this conceptQ: You’ve been rooting for ‘Men In Skirts.’ What inspired you to bring about that change and promote the #MenInSkirts movement?
Jainil Mehta: What inspired me to actually promote it are the people. The people really resonated with it for some reason. And I just felt like it was something that I can take forward and promote and just help promote these gender-neutral outfits. And it’s something I’m just normalising. Because you need to connect with people if you want to bring in a change. And I feel like I did connect in some way, and I’m glad that I could help with that change and promote ‘Men In Skirts.’
In other words, YOU be the change you want to see in the worldpromote these gender-neutral outfits....

Ok it is well known around here that I am no fan of influencers be they celebrity or plain old wannabe.
Not converted now but this guy may have something which will work.
Simply this, the skirts look form free so fitting males or females, no issues.
Production could be as simple or as complex as required so costs could start at affordable levels.
The issue, do we have demand, a market?
The "changes" we seek will only happen if enough of us are willing to put money down, take a risk and venture forth.

Re: Hauterrfly: Exclusive: Internet Sensation Jainil Mehta On His New York Fashion Week Debut, And Breaking Stereotypes,
I feel the same way - however this guy seems more authentic/realistic than a lot of what the celebrities do. While his outfits might not inspire men to start wearing skirts, his message (which is close to what many espouse here) is what matters. And if influencing gets his message in the news, media - then it’s a win. Plant a seed of an idea in people’s minds and it may grow.
