Tag: This’ Year Fashion

Men in Sarees: The flexibility of fashion today means that men and women dress in one another’s attire more than before. The first ten years of the new century saw a revival of the fashion trend of girls dressing like boys. The vague appearance, in which both the genders combine and contrast fashionable items from one another’s wardrobes, is now being replaced by a new category of wearing that disregards gender norms. Neither size nor gender should determine fashion. The time when skirts denoted femininity and pants the contrary, is long gone. Instead, we are establishing a society where gender is viewed as a shifting scale rather than a binary. The resurgence of simplicity in fashion is giving this new idea a boost as unisex brands cater to the younger population seeking a unique perspective.Also Read – Dabur’s Real Fruit Juice to change packaging which was gender discriminating

Why is Gender-Neutrality Need of The Hour?

Gender neutrality is a practice that enables you to escape the gender binary. It motivates individuals to exercise their genuine right to freedom of expression. It guarantees that future generations would lead India toward a liberal and progressive course, ultimately bringing about a beneficial social transformation in the society with regard to gender equality. The gender-neutral fashion trend challenges the notion that girls should be delicate while boys should be tough in order to design clothing that every youngster may appreciate, regardless of their gender.

Gender-fluid and gender-neutral clothes are movements and fashion trends that unquestionably represent progress. More than ever, individuals are at ease with the idea of masculinity, and gender is no longer indicated by the clothes that one wears. Instead of being constrained by preconceived notions, people are opting to define themselves on their own terms.

Celebrities Defining Gender Neutral Fashion

Gender-specific clothing is no longer the norm, thanks to the emergence of fashion. Additionally, it isn’t people who are dressed in gender-neutral hues or styles. Stars like Harry Styles and Ranveer Singh have repeatedly shattered stereotypes by dazzling in photo shoots while sporting supposedly feminine attire. Today’s fashions are transcending gender norms, allowing an increasing number of people the freedom to dress whichever they like.

YOU DO YOU! We’re all in for gender-neutral clothing, bring it on!

Peter Zottolo, a photographer and electrician in California’s Bay Area, has a secret. His favorite pants, a pleated navy pair from Japanese brand Camoshita, have an elasticated waist and a drawstring that he can tighten or loosen on a whim. When he wears a button-down shirt or sweater that conceals these features, “they just look like dress pants,” said Mr. Zottolo, 46. “No one knows you’re the most comfortable man in the room.”

Mr. Zottolo is part of a wave of in-the-know men who are pulling on trousers that say “smart” from ankle to pocket but confess “sweatpants” sotto voce at the waist. Elasticated, drawstring-furnished waistbands were once reserved for gymwear and swim trunks. Now, however, you can find them cinching everything from chinos to corduroy slacks to formal suit pants from Brooks Brothers and ultrawide, capital-F-fashion trousers from luxury brands like Loewe. 

These sneaky hybrid designs—sometimes called “Easy Pants”—are forgiving on post-WFH paunches but don’t look slovenly. That makes them ideal for men unwilling to abandon lockdown-era comfort as they re-enter a world of office meetings and IRL Hinge dates. 

Fasih Awan, 28, an engineer at San Francisco fintech company Block, used to wear suits to work but now relies on wide-legged, box-pleated drawstring styles from New York tailoring brand Stòffa and Australia’s Informale. “Now that the office is less busy and I’m only there a couple of days a week, a suit feels like too much,” he said. He thinks drawstring styles, when sharply cut, can “elevate a casual outfit” to work-appropriate heights and even skew formal-ish if paired with a nice sweater.

Brooks Brothers creative director Michael Bastian agrees that drawstring pants are an appealing work option for guys who “don’t have to wear a suit every day.” Yet they present certain styling challenges, said Greg Lellouche, owner of online retailer No Man Walks Alone. “You have to think about the intersection with the shirt at the waist,” he said, adding that trousers whose drawstring is hidden on the inside—like Mr. Zottolo’s Camoshitas—are easier to work with. Visible drawstrings are too much for many workplaces, he said, calling the sight of aglets or knots dangling beneath a shirt hem “one step too far for business casual.”

Most experts we spoke to advocate a shirt-out look, but if you’re tempted to tuck, Paul Witt, owner of Wittmore, a menswear brand and store in Los Angeles and Malibu, Calif., suggests wearing a luxe linen T-shirt and dressy sneakers or loafers. For the office and social gatherings requiring smart-ish attire, Mr. Bastian of Brooks Brothers suggested wearing drawstring trousers in a dressy gray suiting fabric and pairing them with a cashmere crew-neck sweater. But, he cautioned, the pants’ ability to transcend their lowly roots as pajamas has its limits. “I wouldn’t ever recommend wearing drawstring pants with a shirt and tie,” he said. “That looks stupid.”

SHANGHAI — Prada will restage its men’s and women’s fall 2022 collection in Beijing on Aug. 5.

The runway show marks the Italian luxury brand’s first return to China’s capital city in 11 years. In 2011, Prada revisited its men’s and women’s spring 2012 collection with added new styles at Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts museum. The same year, Prada went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The fall 2022 collection will be shown at Prince Jun’s Mansion, a courtyard hotel in downtown Beijing in the traditional Chinese style, which was formerly the residence of Prince Jun in the Qing dynasty.

“Prince Jun’s Mansion seemed the perfect setting to celebrate once again our ongoing dialogue and commitment to Chinese culture that we have pursued with different activities throughout the years,” Prada co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons said in a press release.

Despite COVID-19-related travel restrictions, the brand sought out creative methods to bring its runway shows to China, one of the brand’s key markets. China sales were up 56 percent compared with 2019 for the 12 months ended Dec. 31. Last September, Prada showcased its women’s spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection simultaneously on catwalks in Milan and Shanghai, a first in fashion history.

In June 2019, Prada skipped Milan Fashion Week to showcase its men’s spring 2020 collection in Shanghai. Minsheng Wharf, the 80,000-ton warehouse, was transformed by OMA/AMO into a neon-lit space with ’80s synth-filled soundscape for the event.

In September 2017, Prada restaged its resort 2018 collection at Rongzhai, the restored historic mansion in Shanghai.

Prada’s Beijing runway show next week will go live at a critical time for the country. The capital city and economic hub is cautious to stick to its Zero-COVID policy ahead of the Communist Party National Congress later this year, when President Xi Jinping is expected to secure an unprecedented third term.

Story continues

Beijing started easing COVID-19-related restrictions in June, but maintained regular testing every three days for people to enter public venues.

Prada might be the only luxury brand to host a physical runway show in China this year. So far, no luxury brands have hosted a physical fashion show in the country, and according to local PR agencies, none have revealed plans to host offline screening events or large runway shows in China for the rest of the year.

Shocking video shows the moment people were hit with crutches and punched as a violent brawl spiraled out of control in the Fashion District’s Santee Alley over the weekend.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Shocking video shows the moment people were hit with crutches and punched as a violent brawl spiraled out of control in the Fashion District’s Santee Alley over the weekend.

A clip of the chaotic fight shows two people attacking each other with crutches in the middle of the busy outdoor shopping area. Multiple men used the crutches to swing at each other.

Others involved in the melee were seen in the background pulling each other’s hair and throwing punches.

Footage shows at least one man use a trash can to strike another man involved in the brawl.

The violent fight happened Sunday afternoon. Los Angeles police responded, but no arrests were made.

It’s unclear how the fight started.

Collaboration, “hacking,” “swap,” “interaction” — no matter what the powers that be decide to call the partnership between two separately buzzy fashion brands that come together to release an even buzzier product, it continues to be a surefire way to get consumer attention. Same goes for destination runway shows and events, according to the Lyst Index for Q2 2022.
