Today, we explored how clothing can either break or enforce gender stereotypes. We discussed what clothing makes us feel confident and comfortable. We learned that many fashion designers are creating gender neutral clothing that can be worn by anyone (see the video of H&M’s denim collection, which features a male and female model wearing the same articles of clothing).
Our class will be designing their own item/items of clothing that can be worn by anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc. Stay tuned for our designs!
