Have you ever wondered how fashion might look in a world without men? In this video I’m exploring how societal factors influence how we dress, and analyzing through research & personal opinions how our approach to fashion would change if men were removed from the equation. This video isn’t about hating on men, but rather about looking at the world through the lens of a woman, and how our choices, from lifestyle to fashion, are heavily influenced and affected by patriarchal systems.
Corrections & Clarifications
•After consulting with some friends, it seems I’ve slightly misunderstood the male vs female gaze. To get a better sense of the topic, I recommend reading Laura Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure & Narrative Cinema”
