Equality Enlivened - image 1 - Clothing are universal objects, heavily shaped by social norms. Today’s clothing results are limited by the constructs of gender.Woman adopting more masculine clothing is seen as a symbol of power, acceptance, and equality. Yet, for true equality to occur, acceptance must come from both spectrums.

Equality Enlivened - image 2 - My project strives to champion equality through the reciprocal acceptance of clothing by setting an example where masculinity embraces femininity. I hope to send out the message that “We Share the Power in Creating Equality”.

Equality Enlivened - image 3 - Since all men and women wrap themselves in clothing, clothing form is not something that should be limited by gender politics.

Equality Enlivened - image 4 - Men adopting feminine clothing forms are not a sign of the devaluation of masculinity, nor is it the sign of elevating the feminine to the status of the masculine. Instead, it is simply the act of accepting the beauty of the other gender, just as women have learned to embrace the beauty of masculine clothing.
