Designing for…men?

by admin on May 11, 2010

It’s not a secret for anyone that the world of fashion is oriented towards the feminine sex. Although maybe not controlled by the women, it’s definitely organized around the girls. And it’s in this world, where men are the weaker sex without shadow of a doubt, that the battle for equality is the hardest. And it’s not just the high couture world that’s this biased towards women, it’s the whole industry of clothes, accessories, models, photographers and even designer and fashion publications and magazines. It’s even something that bleeds into the mainstream world of “normal” people. If not, ask yourself: how many female top-models do you know? Claudia Schiffer? Tyra Banks? Naomi Campbell? How about men? How many do you know?

But the trend seems to be changing, not towards leaning more to men, but towards giving men more fashion clothing and accessory lines. Designer menswear designers, courses and shops are popping around all over the Globe as men have finally said “enough is enough” and demanded that they’re given some help looking fabulous. And although we’re probably a long way from seeing the same time and money invested in men’s fashion as we do for women, at least men can look good.
