The "Gay-est" Designer

[micouture]

Sort of off topic but thought id mention it:

I have always been interested in fashion design rowing up but didnt want to be seen as gay since I was so insecure. As I got older I cared less and less about what people thought and actually started to find it funny if people thought I was gay. In my 20's I started watching FTV and really loved Tom Fords Collections, I did some research and found out he studdied Architecture in college then got into fashion after he graduated. I thought to myself "cool .... finaly a strait fashion designer ....hmm I studied Architecture as well - maybe I can design too" - then i did some reasearch and found out he was not strait - then i saw McQueen and thought surely hes strait - again I was wrong - are there any strait male designers left? If you know of any I would be currious to know. (not that it matters)

i think this is quitew a stupid queston, however i do think you mean typical steryotypical gay clothes, wich not all gay men were.

calvin klein?
he's also gay...he and kelly had an 'arrangement'. he was famously involved with perry ellis at the beginning of his career, who helped launch him.

I was just reading through Hello magazine and it mentioned female partners It's an easy assumption to make...

Ralph Lauren though? He's straight as a bracing run in the snow while shouting "I'm a real man I do man things, girls, girls, girls good for sex and nothing else", surely?

I was going to say...I'd have been seriously shocked if Ralph Lauren was gay...I'm sure he would never do anything that exciting...

Just because a male designer is gay doesn't mean that he can't be your "role model." Do you not look up to John Galliano or Nicolas Ghesquiere because they are gay? Well good luck finding inspiration from Tommy Hilfiger and Kenneth Cole.

My god this is the strangest thread I've read here in a long time.

having an "arrangement" sounds fun...all the clothes, fun, luxury you can stand, and you dont have to turn on the faucet for him

I'm kidding.

Seriously -- why would someone ask this question unless they are unsure of their own sexuality. Pick one and move on...Its not a big deal, and frankly the subject is boring.

chick, that is hilarious!

I don't get it. So just because someone is gay he can't be your role model because he is such? Shouldn't a role model be based on his skill.. not his sexual preference? Anyways good luck with.. errr... Tommy, Kenneth and Ralph.

thats what kimora and mr simmons have........shes got a girlfriend and he's got a boyfriend
now there's some gossip for you

 

[saad]

i couldnt believe that CK was gay whe i started reading up on him....i love his designs and him being gay was definitely a shocker!
but maybebecasue i was so naive then.....
all of his ad campaigns have strong sexual appeal

this is all off topic but i wanted to share this with you guys

did you guys know he had a thing fr his best friend when they were kids?
and that the first time he was with a guy was at his house, the guy had come to do some work for calvin and just one look at him and calvin knew he had to have him. they did it there....no talking

(thats what i read in a book)

This is interesting, I think they wear clothes like everyone else.
