Androgyny with the male This picture is featured from Vogue’s 2011 edition on Androgyny. This picture perfectly describes Androgyny with the male attributes being the garment and the female attribute being the silhouette of the female body. Fashion is the most visible form of expression of one’s self and has the ability to help a person feel liberated. Gender and fashion being so closely related, with gender often confused for sex, androgynous fashion gives a new perspective for people to understand the possibility of more than two genders and being understanding and appreciative towards them. Ruby Rose made an overwhelming video of breaking free of what society wants us to be and accepting and projecting your sexuality the way you want. Jaden Smith is is also a very popular celebrity who wears androgynous fashion. He was also a part of Louis Vuitton ad of breaking the sex barrier. He is usually seen wearing skirts, celebrating his usual self and breaking the typical ‘masculine’ stereotypes. By being a part of the Louis Vuitton ad, he wanted people to feel comfortable in their own skin irrespective of what gender they belong to or how they like to express themselves. Even after being repeated bashed for his unconventional style, he refuses to give up and wants to set an example for the future generations regarding the ‘normality’ of the clothes and how they need not conform to the gender boundries set up by the society. Fashion is all about expressing who you are, masculine, feminine or androgynous! 20
