 If you
remember the legendary series of the '90s «Sex and The City», then you will
understand and may perceive the statement that the best friends for a young
lady is diamonds. Now the statement changed slightly when the girls having no
diamonds are ready to do with gays. In the opinion of most women, the
non-traditional sexual orientation males are more comprehensive in regards to
women. On the top of it, they never go asleep in the boutique when a woman
tries on clothes and ready to give pieces of advice.
The
majority of modern trendy designers are different with their talent and non
traditional sexual orientation, which makes the collections a real discovery
for trendsetters. Though, it is not that only a gay designer may create clothes
for women better than «natural» men.
Back to
some time in the past, when the fashion industry face problems with so called «zero
size», various fashion experts revealed that the works of designers with
non-traditional sexual orientation even world-known and authorized, are not
actually for real women with real sizes. For example, an ensemble by YSL is
weird enough for an ordinary woman with ordinary sizes since it resembles a
typical suit for men tailored for women without breasts and thighs as with
women. The collections by the British designer Gareth Pugh, who is often called
a modern enfant terrible and the follower of shocking behaviors of Alexander McQueen,
may be called the ode for the androgenity. Pugh collections are presented by
the similar creature, either men or women, and the ensembles created look as if
they make both genders equal turning models into something very average and
emphasizing the gender features. If you remember some time back Calvin Klein
promoted Kate Moss (that was her splendid up in her career) in his
advertisement campaign, when the American designer was keen on the idea of
androgenity.
The fashion
industry is the sphere where people with non-traditional sexual orientation are
more populated than everywhere else and nobody will blame these designers for
the change of concepts about the beauty of a woman body. Who among the various
admirers of Chanel House will dare to accuse Karl Lagerfeld, the pillar of the
modern fashion, of his works that do not fit any standard woman? Though, there
are single people who confront them, like Beth Ditto, the British singer and
well-known «dumpling», who regularly accuse designers of non-traditional sexual
orientation of «zero size» problem origin. In her opinion, gay designers have
no idea what it is to be a woman and they treat their models as dolls with
necessary «parameters». As a result, models who are like sexless beings or
androgynes than real women appear on the runway presenting collections of men
who love men showing clothes that does not suit real women.
Nevertheless,
the «opposing» designers, in the meantime, perform without a single mistake.
Unlike the very Karl Lagerfeld, one of the famous representative of gay culture
in fashion, who was regularly blamed of absolute neglect to the actual problems
in fashion industry, including the much talked-about «zero size», the works by Roberto Cavalli,
in spite of their pretentiousness and intentional sexuality balancing on the
edge of the vulgarity, cannot be called not fitting women. The collections by
Elie Saab,
who designs for Hollywood celebrities, is the absolute panegyric of femininity
in clothes presenting delicate, extremely womanly and luxurious ensembles,
whether a dress to the floor or an extreme mini-dresses. However, most
designers, of non-traditional orientation prove that the issue of comprehending
of women needs cannot be linked to sexual preferences. This idea is proved by
the reputed gay designers, among which are Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani,
Tom Ford being creative managers for Gucci, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
who create elegant ensembles that just accentuate femininity and sexuality in
women.
