Alternative Fashion Designers

[Juan]

Exciting and beautiful proposals for the upcoming fall-season by Jaiden James and Rasharn De Vera Agyemang. The designs challenge the conventional gender norms, tapping into taboo sexual urges and femininity. Leatherwear, rubber leggings, and floral pleated skirts... for men only?

Leather jacket (inspired by BDSM gear?), pretty floral pleated skirt.. ugly socks & shoes.

I agree those butt ugly "logger" boots have to go...The skirt length, jacket, and hair aren't bad though.

I like that floral skirt. A man can wear that with pride. In this picture is does not look female at all.

Very ..... um ..... Cyber-Dustrial meets Gothic. I think I like

Would have looked better with different boots, though.

Absolutely, Kez. I would have opted for some black Hi-Tec Magnums like paramedics/ambulance attendants wear. They're combat boot tall, but look and feel more like sneakers. I would have also parade-glossed polished the smooth areas to nearly resemble patent leather. Lots of kilt wearing males wear these locally at festivals.

strapshoechris, I do like those boots you suggested. While the outfit is totally inappropriate for a geriatric like myself (61) I'd wear those boots anywhere!

Love them, Strapshoechris. As a matter of fact, I have a pair, almost identical to the ones you've posted. I bought them precisely with the idea of wearing them with knee-length skirts.

I have an even rarer pair that HiTec made for pro wrestlers that have the leather parts in white...

Hi strapshoeschris,

I like those Hi-Tec Magnums. Since I always wear woman's shoes with my freestyle outfits, perhaps as a change of pace I wear a pair of these Magnums. It might even look nice with my black pin-striped skirt suit and sheer black pantyhose. I wonder though, will people still ask me why I "dress like a woman" when I wear these Magnums with my freestyle outfits?

Only one way to find out.
