Gender-neutral fashion: fluidity as freedom

Is gender-neutral fashion a future trend? Styles for Spring 2021 saw a growing number of major brands champion gender-fluid, unisex or polysexual fashions with Marc Jacob’s “Heaven” capsule and fluid collections from designers Balenciaga and Stella McCartney. “Marc has long been a believer that clothing itself is not inherently gendered, rather society norms have previously determined certain garments are for certain people, (we) see a great deal of hope in today’s youth, that these limiting ‘rules’ are increasingly no longer relevant, with a renewed courage to be oneself,” Eric Marechalle, the CEO of Marc Jacobs International told WWD in a recent report.
