On streets around the world, a revolution is emerging. This movement has nothing to do with fighting for democracy and everything to do with the freedom to blur traditional gender roles to express personal style. All of our traditionally held beliefs and roles are blurring. Fashion comes out of not just a desire for clothing; fashion always points back to political, economic, social, religious factors. So if society changes, fashion changes, too.

For decades, women's wear has mimicked the masculine aesthetic of menswear, from trouser pants to tuxedo vests. But now, guys are taking a cue from the girls, with collections featuring narrowly cut pants, draped fabrics and slim cardigans that, while not necessarily feminine, are at least decidedly androgynous in appearance.
