When model and actor Ruby Rose uploaded “Break Free” in 2014, the video-which shows Rose transforming from a made-up, minidress-clad, long-locked Barbie into a cropped-cut and tattooed androgyne-went viral, with 28 million viewers and counting. But there is something new in the way women now buck social mores: Conventional notions of “sexiness” are being refused point-blank. Women, of course, have been permitted to explore different iterations of femininity for some time-men are merely playing catch-up. Through fashion, I get to explore my own ideas about what’s manly.” “I adorn and embellish myself, play with makeup and jewelry, and just put on clothes that are beautiful. “Fashion allows me to break the rules,” says Shazam, 27, who has earned a fervent following for his distinctive his/hers look. For more current examples, think of James Charles, the eighteen-year-old makeup fanatic tapped last year as CoverGirl’s first-ever male campaign star-or the gender-blurring members of the art collective House of Ladosha featured in the upcoming New Museum exhibition “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon.” Or check out the Instagram belonging to New York City man-about-town Richie Shazam. Of course there are: Think Prince and David Bowie, both of whom scrambled male and female fashion codes in the name of liberation. Alessandro Michele, whose recent Gucci shows have been at the epicenter of fashion’s genderquake, says that he treats traditional feminine and masculine wardrobe codes “as if they were a language, a score, a dictionary. It’s this space that fashion designers have rushed into. Either way, there’s a terrific opportunity for play. Maybe that leads you to call yourself agender or bigender or demiboy or mostly girl-or maybe it just means that you and your significant other share a wardrobe.

You can be whoever you want,” he adds, ambling over, “as long as you’re being yourself.” “We’re chill!” he calls out from a picnic table not far away. And anyway, it’s fun to experiment.”Īnwar, eavesdropping, pipes up. And if it’s tight on me, so what? It doesn’t matter if it was made for a girl.” “What was that T-shirt I borrowed the other day?” But where, exactly, is someone neither entirely he nor she meant to shop? And how, exactly, is such a person to be defined? Fashion, of course, has taken note of the movement, which is sufficiently evolved to boast its own pinups, including Jaden Smith, recently the star of a Louis Vuitton womenswear campaign, and androgynous Chinese pop star (and Riccardo Tisci muse) Chris Lee. Woolf’s words, written in 1928, could easily be mistaken for a manifesto posted yesterday on Tumblr, the preferred platform for the growing cohort of “fluid” young people who, like Orlando, breezily crisscross the XX/XY divide. The pronouns shift, but the person remains the same. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity.” “Orlando had become a woman,” Woolf writes, “but in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been.

Gigi apologized to her Chinese fans on her Weibo account, writing, "It hurts me to hurt anyone, and I want you all to know that it was never my intent to offend anyone through my actions and I sincerely apologize to those who were hurt or felt let down by me." In it, Gigi is making a face which many considered a mockery of Asian features. When Gigi pulled out of walking the runway for a Victoria's Secret show in Shanghai last November, many speculated that it had to do with a Snapchat video that Bella had posted a few months prior.
