Haha… This is sadly, the reality of fashion publication (low) standards these days. Nothing feels nor comes from a place of layered, subversive, and sophisticated provocation. It’s all surface value to shock with a gimmick that 12yo would find titlliating: Where once the fusion of new frontiers would be challenged/confronted with genuinely creative progression of imagery to blur the traditional sensibility— now it’s… just put a dress and dangly earrings on a boy to feminize him because… Political :sigh: Compare to how richly complex the likes of Gaultier/Comme/Yohji/Galliano showings and how strong the styling was for these labels back in the day: Men were not feminized and women were not masculinized so flatly and lazily by swapping their traditional wears. They were reimagined into a creative vision that was altogether new and progressive, and totally aspiring for everybody— gay, straight, women, men. And it was all so sophisticated and not resembling kids playing dress-up. To whom is this inspiring to…??? That guy with the beard that likes to wear gowns?
(I’d imagine such basic cross-dressing as shown here would raise a few eyebrows in Taiwan since it’s still a mostly conservative culture, rather than make eyes roll— as mine are doing at the sheer uncreative laziness of it all :double sigh:...)
