The grace of Beccaria’s nymphs at Milan’s second day of fashion

September 22, 2016 By creative

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Airy, ethereal and delicate designs filled the catwalk in Luisa Beccaria’s show on Thursday as models took the role of water nymphs on the second day of Milan’s fashion week. Models wore long, floating and transparent dresses recalling the water lilies in Monet’s canvases with flowers, lace and tulle followed by lightly striped cottons and ornately embroidered coats. For the evening, Beccaria’s nymphs transform into bright luminescent fairies wearing short or maxi dresses, tunics with cape-shaped sleeves, some lightened up by small crystal decorations.

Boys in pink: ‘genderless’ fashion goes big in Japan

March 14, 2016 By admin

No stranger to barrettes, bows and beauty products, Japanese Instagram icon and model Genking is a proud flag bearer for “genderless” fashion in which young men adopt unequivocally feminine styles and challenge traditional norms. Although women around the world have taken to menswear in droves — sporting trousers since the 1930s when French fashion legend Coco Chanel put her equestrian clients in pants — the sight of a man in a skirt still raises eyebrows in the West. In much of Asia, however, unisex clothing — whether in the form of a traditional shalwar kameez, sarong or kimono — boasts a long history, while popular theatrical traditions regularly feature gender bending performances.
