無性別時尚

一切都源於這篇- Tim Gunn On Transgender Models, His Sexuality & Finding Role Models

我覺得這並不能說是針對性發言,當然,當你提到某個人,你很難說不是。

On the issue of transgender models, however, Gunn is at odds with himself, especially when it comes to androgynous models, like Andrej Pejic, modeling women's clothing.

"The fact that fashion designers would put basically adolescent-shaped boys or men in women's clothes is head-scratching for me because, anatomically, women and men have different shapes," he says. "So, to be looking at women's fashion on a tall, skinny guy with no hips, there's no way you can project yourself into those clothes."

With all of the flak the fashion world receives for perpetuating body image issues for women, some might think that models like Pejic make the waif standard all the more unattainable by telling women they're not supposed to have hips in the first place. "It underscores all of those body issues that we know women have," Gunn says. "It's the world telling us that there's something wrong with us and that we'd look better in our clothes and the world would think us more beautiful if we looked like this. I think it's horrible."

But the use of trans models isn't a black and white issue, even to Gunn. "I'm conflicted," he says. "On one hand, I don't want to say that because you were a man and now you're a woman, you can't be in a women's fashion show. But I feel it's a dicey issue. The fact of the matter is, when you are transgender -- if you go, say, male to female -- you're not having your pelvis broken and having it expanded surgically. You still have the anatomical bone structure of a man."

大概的意思,提到Andrej走女裝秀。

而一些設計師將青春期的男孩或男人的基本型概投注在女裝上讓他感到頭痛,因為男女的生理形狀並不同。

所以,當你在女裝時尚上看到一個高瘦穿著女裝但沒臀部的男人時,你根本無法想像自己穿著那件衣服會是什麼模樣。

所以,從Tim Gunn的言論來看,他其實不是很贊同男性去走女裝這塊。因為男性的生理形狀沒有女性的線條,無法展現女裝。

其實有點小失望,我覺得他應該會是那種樂見時尚產業有越來越多,各式各樣的特色的人,進入這個產業。

不過早在Andrej首場JPG秀時,就有人不認同這種現象,也是針對身材。

但我覺得Andrej在這產業已經是則傳奇了,androgynous models確實是因為他的出現而引起很大的關注,而他也不是剛好一股熱潮而曇花一現的那種存在。

放上一張Andrej跟好友的合照。至於馬賽克裡的模樣,就任憑想像了:p
