LGBT News Selfridges department store is becoming unisex.

Lovely!

If only they weren't the only one and maybe didn't have prices that would make me toss my wallet...

 

I approve. It's just unfortunate that everything on the runway is so freakin' ugly. Seriously, why so baggy? It makes the models look like they are at least fifty pounds heavier.

It's too simple, also. They could have been much more creative. Everything basically looked identical. I only saw one item that was remotely interesting.

 

This is the coolest thing I have seen all day! this is awesome!

 

Do average people ever actually wear what's shown on a runway? Because whenever I see parts of fashion shows I see people wearing things that I'd never see an actual person wear. usually they are really weird looking. I can only ever imagine celebrities wearing it to make a statement, maybe.

I just watched the fashion show clip and wow those are ugly I cannot imagine anyone wearing those (as is my reaction with most fashion shows).

 

Just had a look at the range on the online store.

Doesn't seem that "radical"or progressive really. Basically just menswear that women can wear too which is not a new trend (I was expecting heels and dresses for men here!), dates all the way back to women wearing trousers and in more recent years you have women wearing hoodies, boyfriend jeans, converse etc. I guess the "presentation" is a bit new though (having the clothing sold unsegregated).

Its all a bit drab and shapeless too (I imagine the clothes have to be kept baggy to fit both male and female body shapes?). One question: why whenever "androgynous fashion" gets thrown about does it always seem to end up black and white? :lol:

And its not exactly mass-market is it (which is why I doubt they'll be expanding this further than the London store)? Its all a bit Die Antwoord meets Kanye West, not something you'd see on most of the public. I'll leave it to the Shoreditch hipsters and fashionistas!

 

I'd much rather M&S did it as it's where I shop but, ok cool.

 

Great!

 

I rather liked what I saw. It looked like something designed for Inuits, and given this past winter, I'd wear it. I didn't see the collection as particularly androgynous, however.

 

Splendid idea, but the pictures in there were abhorrent >.< The clothes could be much more appealing.

 

That's actually pretty neat.

 

You are such a classy person.
