Diversity of Genders

What is Gender Diversity?

Gender diversity is an umbrella term that is used to describe gender identities that demonstrate a diversity of expression beyond the binary framework. Having to choose to express yourself as male or female is constraining. Some people would prefer to have the freedom to change from one gender to another, or not have a gender identity at all. Others just want to be able to openly defy or challenge more normalized concepts of gender.

Their identity is about presenting something more outwardly authentic to the world, whether they understand themselves to be differently gendered, or have no gender at all. It is important to recognize that many cultures throughout history have recognized gender diversity beyond masculine and feminine.

It is important to feel comfortable with what you look like and what outfit to wear that also represents your style. Representing the LGBTQ+ is a big thing that is still rising to this day to show the diversity through Gender and be proud for who they are.

Milan Fashion Week- Gucci

Gender fluidity is not just Harry Styles in a feather boa. It can also be a woman in an elegantly oversized double-breasted trouser suit, like the model who opened Gucci’s first Milan fashion week show in two years.

This collection celebrated the quieter beauty of women in menswear, rather the rule-breaking energy of men in dresses. Most of the 84 models, whatever gender, wore trouser suits.

Gucci, best known recently for putting men in feminine clothes, dressed women in masculine clothes in a menswear-based collection shown during womenswear fashion week on models of all genders. Surprising an audience with a tradition-disrupting gender-fluid look is as on-brand for modern Gucci as supermodels in cocaine-white dresses slashed at the hipbone sashaying down a mirrored runway were in a previous era of glory days, under Tom Ford.

Los Angeles Fashion- Versace

Donatella Versace’s bag isn’t necessarily creating pieces that can be worn by both men and women, it seems it was more Gianni’s style, but her latest Fall/Winter 2020 Runway collection at Milan Fashion Week was just that, gender-fluid, and gender-accepting. With funky floral suits and sweaters worn by both the male and female models, neon-pink electric suits, striped & mixed animal-skin jackets and of course the It Girls of the fashion industry (e.g. Kendall, Gigi, Kaia and Bella), it was quite the show this season. Coming off the amazing performance-and Versace outfits JLO wore for her SuperBowl performance, this collection was possibly outside of Donatella’s previous expertise, but a welcome change to Versace’s brand.

Celine & Saint Laurent- Fashion catwalk spring/summer 2019.

"Sexiness" on the runways doesn't reflect the way the world is evolving, and the industry needs to reconsider how it's conceiving and selling perceptions of women back to them.

Cathy Horyn in her joint review of the Maison Margiela and Saint Laurent collections at the recently-concluded Paris Fashion Week. Designers are not just arbiters of skirt lengths and bell sleeves; the most prominent ones can, through their clothing, encapsulate and influence female selfhood. Fashion can be approached as a delightful diversion, but it does not exist separately from the realities of what is going on in the world — and a lot going on in the world right now is unimaginably grim.

Over the course of this past Fashion Month, the runways unveiling the spring/summer 2019 collections featured some stereotypically "sexy" clothes — mini shorts, teetering heels, skin-baring pieces. Given the continuing conversations around misogyny, consent, and gender equality, contemporary identity is shifting — and so is the attire that goes with it.
