Gender roles are changing. Slowely but they do! In particular Sweden is known for shaking up traditional ideas of male and female behaviour. Here porn movies can be feminist and men wish to breastfeed their children.
The world of fashion is usually an area that is characterised by a strong gendered division. However, there are indications that fashion finally also starts to be more open towards gender-neutral collections.
Typical women's wear consists of dresses, skirts or high heels, which sexualise the body by underlining the female silhouette. Classical male clothing such as the suit symbolises money and power. However, when women started entering the labour market, especially the public sector, in the context of the 1960s revolutions designers such as Giorgio Armani or Coco Chanel invented a female variant of the suit.
