Genderless clothing made a splash at New York Fashion Week this year, thanks to designer Andre Landeros Michel. His Fall 2016 collection, entitled STRANGE, comes from his label, LANDEROS NEW YORK, which he founded in 2013. It’s inspired by Steve Strange, the beloved doorman at the legendary 1980s London club, The Blitz. Over the past three years, LANDEROS NEW YORK has offered clothing for men, women and everybody outside and in between the gender binary.This latest collection is no different.
“Genderless/agender/unisex clothing is a direct response to the feminist and LGBT rights movements,” Landeros Michel recently told The Huffington Post. “I believe genderless fashion can help to usher in gender equality and cater to those who do not conform to normative gender roles. Unisex fashion has always had a negative image due to sizing and fit issues, therefore bespoke tailoring and custom pieces are essential for any genderless brand that works with high quality tailoring.”
