Of course, fashion itself is the combination of change and innovative design. With the quarterly fashion show, the fashionable wheels are also moving faster and faster. However, in fact, throughout the history of fashion development, there are still some coherent clues in describing the basic characteristics of fashion. The focus here is the 'dress complex'. Dress is gender ambiguity and confusion. Women wear masculine clothing while men's clothing is feminine.
The famous sociologist Veblen (Veblen), Simon (Simmel) and Bourdieu (Bourdieu) about fashion theory all emphasize fashion as a mechanism to regulate and establish the important social order that distinguishes class status and gender.
Gender seems to be important in the history of fashion. Women wear feminine clothes, such as broad skirts, slender waist, breasts, lace and so on. Men wear masculine clothes and black dress. If we go beyond this limit, we will cause social reprimand and ridicule. But don't forget that there are men who have had important influence on fashion in history. One is the so-called Playboy 'Dandy'. In fact, Chinese does not have a very corresponding word to interpret. Dandy is not necessarily romantic. It is not necessarily pleasure. His greatest characteristic is to pay attention to the appearance of clothes, and to care about the details of any image that he presents in front of others. The word originally came from England. Just as we know English gentlemen, they are gentle and polite. But the difference is that apart from etiquette, they will pay close attention to appearance. They will make up like women and carefully trim all the details on the pits. They were wearing heavy perfume. They will pay attention to their manners and manners and keep their grace. This is in conflict with the traditional concept of masculinity. Just like the ancient Chinese actors, men wear make-up and are usually despised by the secular, because they are not like real men, they possess the characteristics of women, and women are always inferior to men. Dandy plays an important role in the development of male fashion. Some of the famous fashion brands today also integrate the characteristics of Dandy into women's clothing. Another famous figure is the French king Louis Jula. Although his wife later became more famous than Mary Anthony in luxury and fashion, fashion flourished in France in his era of rule. Clothing has developed a new pattern. Trade in textile products has also expanded. It is said that perfume was invented by him. At that time, men's tight leg trousers were also feminine in my opinion. Tight pants highlight the lines of the legs. For strong and dignified men, they overemphasize the characteristics of sex, weaken the strong side, and show the feminine appearance.
Twentieth Century is the age when modern fashion was officially born. There are many flashy events and brands in the history of fashion development. First of all, of course, Chanel. CoCo Chanel changed the clothing that bound women's body and mind and invented the suit. So the Chanel brand has become the pronoun of elegant and noble temperament woman. The role of suit is of great importance to the improvement of social status and self-consciousness of modern women. Although it is generally believed that such elegance is a woman's character, it is not difficult to see that the suit is a reference for Dandyism. It has taken some refining cuts, which is similar to Dandy's suit.
2009 black and white three sets in autumn and winter. The combination of coats and trousers shows women's maturity and ability.
Later, after the first World War, Dior released the new 'New Look', claiming that women should return to the traditional feminine characteristics of clothing, emphasizing the curve and the beauty of women, so the skirt with large waist and large skirt became popular.
This criticism by Chanel is not in line with the needs of contemporary women.
This criticism by Chanel is not in line with the needs of contemporary women. With the development of women's rights, women's status has been greatly improved. Women are no longer the parasitic parasites of history. They are no longer the symbol of men's wealth status.
Walking into the society and starting to work, such a social background makes fashion development tend to be ambiguous. The popularity of trousers, Saint Laurent's classic smoking suit is the embodiment of masculine style infiltrating women's clothing. The popularity of uniforms in workplaces also reduced gender differences.

It seems not unusual for women to absorb masculine elements. Fashion needs innovation, while empathy and finding breakthroughs are important ways to get inspiration. The concept of fashion needs to be original. It is a vanguard and arrogant. It expands any possibility. It will not allow stereotypes to hinder its freedom. In modern society, clothing has gone beyond the function of gender class distinction, and it has become the same as the characteristics of post modernity. The fashion at the end of the twentieth Century is an experiment and game. Designers try different kinds of materials such as stitching and merging, borrowing elements vertically from history and absorbing "heterogeneous" from different cultures horizontally, regardless of gender. All elements can serve design.
Rei Kawakubo Wakubo Rei was the first successful designer to enter the French fashion world. Her unique anti fashion design made the world in an uproar. Neutralization, arbitrary irregular cutting, large size and asymmetry are symbols of her design. Her brand name Comme des Gar? Ons means "like a boy". It is obvious that her style is simple and unrestrained, mischievous and cynical.

Alexander Wang, a young designer who has attracted much attention recently, is also a simple personality line. He does not study the feminization. He can not pursue the display of female curves. He uses lines and cloth to interpret comfortable fashion, a simple and fashionable style. When I first touched his design, I felt that his design was not "beautiful" in the traditional sense, but full of personality, androgyny style, with a strong neutral flavor.

Men wear clothes. Women wear men's clothing is no longer disdained. This is also a trend and an attitude. I was not interested in this neutral wind. But now it seems that this kind of smart and handsome indeed do not have the amorous feelings, the woman's multifaceted nature. A jazz hat with a boyfriend's coat is a must for a fashionable girl now.
Boyfriend jeans
Jeans themselves tend to be neutral. Tight fitting jeans can highlight the slender legs of girls, and this slack boyfriend jeans, and even the design of holes, shows a girl's playful and informal personality. The spirit of decadent aesthetics is shining here. It is attracting more and more people's attention with special and publicity.
In the history of fashion, there is no lack of gender confusion in design. People always seek inspiration in counter thinking. This "outfit complex" is a nightmare hard to get rid of. It is an innovation and a declaration of courage. There are no rigid rules in the fashion world. Fashion is to travel between your favorite clothes and wear the ones you love. Don't take too many differences between men and women.
