Who wears the pants – and does it even matter anymore?
Androgynous fashion on the catwalks add to the ongoing dialogue on the gender spectrum
Once upon a time, men were men and women weren’t men. Those are no longer the only two options for dating and self-identification.
Gender fluidity is firmly on everyone’s agenda, now but it’s not an easy terrain to navigate. Even Vogue got it wrong putting Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik in the “experimental” category. We figured Harry Styles would be the “questioning” one.
Regardless of the confusion, “genderless” androgynous fashion is the new rage on Asian runways this season. Male identity has always been different in the East, where thin and boyish was perceived as stylish. However, this year, male and female models wore interchangeable clothes in several shows during Japan Fashion Week.
