I am exploring fashion and clothing, particularly unisex clothing. Bonne Suits recently announced that top tier stockist Opening Ceremony, a hip retailer that features iconic and emerging homegrown designers, will be selling Bonne’s signature unisex “Poor mans suits” The suit is a double-breasted jacket and cropped, pleated pants that can be styled for any occasion, gender, or age and retails at $250. This is a good example of how unisex clothing is becoming more popular and available which is great for not only gender fluid people but also people wanting to try new styles.

School Boy story featuring model Marko J. Bahor (Immortal Model Slovenia) photographed by Matevž Kosterov with pieces from Slovenian designers Angela Lukanovich and Petja Zorec. Styling is courtesy of Ina Šercelj. This photograph challenges male fashion and gender because he is wearing a skirt, but advertises it as cool due to the look and esthetic of the photographs in this collection. |

- DapperQ’s (a transgressing mens fashion website) sibling visibility project celebrating the incredible contributions that stylish femmes make to queer fashion. In one edition, they featured Tyler Roze Barbosa, a Gender-Fluid Homosexual who use his fashion to express his inner “Queen” as she would say. An Artist who seeks to bring empowerment to everyone who spares the ear to listen to her/his spoken word poetry. As well as a young entrepreneur who’s soulful commitment to the program that change his/her life called Books of Hope Boston that allows him/her the platform to teach and share the power of turning emotional pain into art and poetry that heals the heart. In the article Tyler said ' I had to face a life-style that had set roles for each gender that I didn’t fit well into. Its strict view left me no room to voice my interest in more feminine things growing up, but I made subtle choices in my outfits like wearing earrings that where bright colored or leggings that enabled me to express hints of femininity. Even adding mascara to my eyelashes made me more prideful in my style. I would have to say the queer femme style is like a hammer that has a sole purpose to break down judgmental states of mind and beliefs based on pure ignorance. It’s an aggressive reminder that we deserve our legal rights and our right to express our extravagant Femme selves. Being assigned male at birth, leaving the house with mascara and red lipstick is transgressive when living in a world that tells you not to because it not manly enough. My Femme style gave birth to a silent protest that reminds me to love myself even when society aims to treat me as lesser being through laws and rude comments.' This is a great example of the gender steryotypes being forced upon people, and how fashion helps people become who they truly are. https://www.dapperq.com/2017/10/hi-femme-tyler-roze-barbosa/
