But the winter clearance bins of the virtual world led me to this intriguing piece from OAK NYC. Not only is it sold out (now), but it also made me think of the man, woman or transgendered person who bought it.
It really could go in any way. The design is blah and looks like something my grandmother wore in a 1950's photo. But it struck me that men and women are dressing more and more alike. Kanye is wearing Celine for women and girls who have never rode motorcycle or have a desire to ride a Harley are sporting Frye and biker jackets like they're members of the fashionable version of Hell's Angels.
I have no strong opinions about gender bending fashion. Just wanted to point out the obvious that today's clearance rack is tomorrow's trend.
YES
The designer Rad Hourani may be right after all in creating unisex seasonless clothing.
NO
This piece doesn't do anyone any favors...men, women animals etc. If you want a gender neutral fashion piece, then start with a cardigan, slowly evolve to a sheer dress shirt/blouse and then fully transition with a cape.
MAYBE
One day, we're all going to be Chaz Bono...if only we were to be so lucky. I mean, Cher as a mom sounds like fun.
