Bi, bye bye
We've said it before, and we'll say it again; 'genderless', 'unisex', or 'non-binary' fashion has typically been biased towards the masculine side of things, 'cause misogyny. Much of the world still fears femininity and the gentle strength it connotes, but a handful of young labels are upending the status quo at Men's Fashion Week. With ruffles, fishnets, and sparkle galore, all-out-war against the patriarchy has never looked so fun. Read on, and smother yourselves in cooties.

CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY
