In the history of the Western world women had always worn skirts/dresses and men have always worn trousers and that got me to thinking…When did the whole gender neutral fashion trend begin & who started it?it wasn’t until the time of World War II ‘1939 to 1945’ that women even fathomed the idea of wearing pants and actually began borrowing their husbands when they had to take on traditionally male jobs during the great depression.It wasn’t until the 70’s that slacks became especially favorable and fashionable for women! Woody Allen’s 1977 movie Annie Hall is known by everyone to have had a huge influence on gender neutrality in fashion.
In 2011 We are seeing Now more then ever GENDER NEUTRAL fashion trends …

As A designer I hear a lot of men say “Women have more options. Their collections explore different shapes, fabrics, prints, colors, proportions. Menswear collections don’t go there.” Some women might beg to differ, though. On the flip side, we’ve recently noticed a few fashionable girls succumbing to the allure of a well-cut men’s jacket. This season looks at what gender blur means for the youth market, as this emerging trend challenges the way we see others and want to be seen ourselves. A story that is neither male nor female, but simply about being accepted on your own terms. I am loving this cross gender blend “ I love nothing more then a well cut suit jacket and tailored pants “
Key trends: this SEASON • Multiple lifestyles and sexualities •ʻ Femiman’ • Boys in skirts • Ambiguity • Alter egos • Unisex
Have a great week everyone,
