What is gender-fluid clothing? Fashion industry experts explain.

4 weeks ago admin

So, what is gender-fluid clothing?

Gender-fluid clothing has no agreed-upon definition in the fashion industry — it’s easier to explain its purpose. In essence, gender-fluid fashion isn’t limited by the traditional “menswear” and “womenswear” binary. Instead, the idea is that any given outfit completely disregards the association between pants and men, skirts and women and so on. In fact, some experts say gender-fluid clothing has little, if anything, to do with the brands, designers and retailers that create them. Instead, they argue, any piece of apparel can be gender-fluid if its wearer so chooses.

Rules were meant to be broken. Amid the social, political and cultural upheaval of the 1960s and ’70s, that’s exactly what artist-jewelers did. 

“Simply Brilliant: Artist-Jewelers of the 1960s and 1970s,” an exhibition featuring approximately 120 pieces from this bold, individualistic era, is set to make its U.S. debut in Cincinnati this fall and winter.

2 weeks ago admin

Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together.

The pandemic shook the fashion industry to its core. Stores closed, manufacturing slowed or stopped, companies filed for bankruptcy, and the shows — the grand, crowded celebration of the designs — shifted to virtual moments. But this month in Paris, the haute couture shows were largely back. Celebrities were in the front row. Stilettos clacked.

“My wife is happy that there are no other women here,” claimed one younger member speaking against women members, while a more senior one reflected his difficulty in answering questions he had faced in recent times about “what goes on here that men need to do only with other men … being boorish after a few drinks perhaps?”
