Men's Paris fashions blur gender boundaries

"The most striking thing is the amount of crossover from women's collections that seems to be happening," Michael Roberts, fashion director of Vanity Fair magazine, told The Associated Press.


A black silk puff-sleeved blouse was worn over a T-shirt encrusted with black beads, while accessories included lace-up sandals and crinkly straw hats laden with thick ribbons.

"It's clothes you want to have, clothes you want to keep," Ossendrijver told the AP.

Even at Paul Smith, the British label famed for providing classics-with-a-twist, the model who opened the show was strikingly androgynous, his silky hair flowing well past shoulder length.

I am still a couple decades from even thinking of trying any of those outfits!

That puts me at 60 and my family has a history of heart trouble...

It is very important to remember that 98% or more of the stuff that appears on a fashion runway is never seen in public. In fact, most clothing is designed FOR the runway and never with the intent of anyone actually wearing it to the store.

Just think of all the news stories you have heard over the years where models wore edible (as in chocolate) cloths down a runway lane.
