Paris, Jan 22 (EFE).- Despite having their own weeks, well defined in the fashion calendar, the catwalks show that the boundaries between men’s and women’s clothing are increasingly blurred, as the brands of the Japanese streetwear Sacai and Korean Wooyoungmi.
Using women and men as models indifferently, both firms put outfits on the catwalk of what until recently was called “unisex” and which has ended up becoming the proclamation: “Clothes have no gender.”
To demonstrate this, the Japanese firm Sacai, by the designer Chitose Abe, proposed on this occasion a wide line of coats with which it mixed styles: a parka that is also a jacket; an anorak with a cape in front, or a tailored coat with raincoat details.
It didn’t matter if the clothes were worn by girls or boys, even with another of the star garments for the upcoming autumn-winter season at Sacai: military boots that extend on the leg like leather leggings, extremely tight.
These leggings are worn under a long cardigan, like a dress, or with a pleated miniskirt, with a “punkarreta” point.
Short trench coats, denim jackets like dresses, with lots of pockets -as if it were a fisherman’s vest- and the occasional Chanel-style outfit, with a short wool jacket and pleated skirt.
Night blue was the main color in this collection, in which details of light blue and white were seen, a tone that the South Korean firm Wooyoungmi also introduced, with several white anoraks and tailoring suits that bet everything on this cold color, which in winter it has fewer and fewer detractors on the streets.
Down coats will continue to be worn in fall-winter 2023/2024, as Wooyoungmi demonstrated on his catwalk during this last day of menswear presentations in Paris.
It has not been the only brand that has rescued them: Louis Vuitton, Sacai itself, Paul Smith, Hermès or Rains are also betting on them once more.
At Wooyoungmi, tailoring is worn with a fitted jacket and slightly loose pants under a robe-like coat.
Men and women wore it indistinctly, in a collection of harmonious tones, with beige, ochre, burgundy and some black for the most urban part.
The suits are also worn with a vest of the same color but without a shirt. During the day, the jeans are roomy and are combined with leather jackets, sweatshirts and printed T-shirts, very rock n’ roll.
In short, a rectilinear sweatshirt that goes to anyone who wants to wear it. Only requirement? Carry it with a lot of attitude. EFE
