Is Fashion Becoming Gender Non-Binary? | i-D

As new generations increasingly view gender and sexuality as unfixed, as not a question of either/or, boundaries are being broken down. Fashion too has taken up the mantle of challenging binary ideas, pushing forward a vision for genderless design.

To explore why the future of fashion is non-binary, i-D teams up with model and activist Munroe Bergdorf as she gears up for forward-thinking label Art School's spring/summer 19 show. Munroe takes us into the world of the genderless label to discuss this cultural shift, and introduces us to some of the show’s brilliant, beautiful faces.

I love Art School and I agree that fashion is becoming non-binary, but this video was basically an ad for Art School. It would have been more interesting to explore this transformation with other brands' collections too like Margiela's ss19 imo. Art School isn't fashion as the title suggests, it's a brand.

Clothing literally has no gender, this video should be called "Mainstream Media Realises anyone looks cute in a skirt"

Why are people so mad against how people identify or express themselves. It's not paying your bills to get so mad find a hobby, get a job, plant some flowers; do something constructive with your time

[ohshanana]

clothes don’t have gender, they are just pieces of fabric that we use to express our selves and protect us from elements of weather

[urethralworms]

I love how more people feel more free to express themselves with fashion 🙌🙌 truly inspiring - me however have no money to buy new clothes so 🤪🤪

I'm pretty sure the word is called androgynous.

[Monomiibo]

Fashion's already nonbinary
People can wear whatever they want as long as they're the ones paying for it

[maulid]

I feel like when you have to constantly state "Hey guys look how non-binary my clothes are" it defeats the purpose.

[porytagotka]

NO, being NON BINARY ISNT becoming a FASHION.
Being androgynous is tho.

[milkfartss]

The clothes look like some of my many failed DIY projects...

[sincereeeeeeeeeeeee]

My dream is to be an androgynous model and to walk in runways like these

[Marjol]

I wish stores would mix it up more. Start with removing the signs for the men and women section will alllow for people to look at all the items and experiment a bit. A lot of women for example wear regular tshirts but I always have to go to the mens section to find them

[bluuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

i absolutely loved this! its just clothes ffs, why should it be labeled only for men or only for women? wear whatever the hell u want, gender is just a social construct

[mayaconnor]

Ok but like what about the club scene in the 80s??

[airrazadrofnas]

I like how they fell and started crawling 😂

[CLEVERstageNAMES]

It's lovely how you look at all of the models together and your brain doesn't even start categorizing them as men and women, they're just models, we're just people ❤

[Hannah-slin]

this is so beautiful it’s so important for everyone to feel free and creative i wish i could express myself as openly as this, this is incredible

[WebVManReturns]

You wore a shirt that felt like a dress? I've worn dresses that felt like t-shirts. Darn it, I'm too tall.

1. Gender is not a construct, gender expectations are
2. Non binary is a gender not a gender expression
Thus the word for the clothing would be more androgynous or more genderless/ unisex

Do what you want and all but how would we do sizing on clothes if it wasn't gender specific? I can barely find clothes that fit me in the womens section, so everything in the mens is off limits unless I want everything to be too big.
