In January 2011, Jean Paul Gaultier`s haute couture runway show ended with the image of a willowy blonde bride in a diaphanous gown. The bride was a man, & one of the first models to walk for both men`s & women`s collections. The event marked the start of a trend. ” This ad is gender neutral, ” proclaimed a 2016 poster for the fashion brand Diesel; ”I resist definitions, ” announced a Calvin Klein ad in the same year, while a Louis Vuitton shoot featured Jaden Smith wearing a skirt. The art of Edward Burne-Jones & Gustave Moreau, the writings of Oscar Wilde, & the mystic Josephin Peladan prove that the turn of the previous century was as compelled by androgyny as this one.
