It's no secret that androgyny has been a part of fashion and lifestyle for generations. It is also something I have always had a fascination with since perhaps my early teens.
The current cultural generation has again embraced the trend for blurring boundaries in identity and dress. As could be seen in Gaga's Jo Calderone, styled by Nicola Formichetti.
I worked two seasons for Tim Soar and was continually inspired by his crossover aesthetic. Seamlessly merging traditional sartorial male elegance with sportswear and contemporary fabrication. When he explored womenswear last season for his S/S 11 collection it seemed to be a move that made perfect sense, coming at a time when Phoebe Philo was creating minimal womenswear with a masculine edge at Céline. For A/W 11/12 Soar has merged the two to create designs without a gender. A few images from his A/W lookbook can be seen above.
