Dexter is a male character who looks at fashion from his own point of view. Leaving aside the stereotypes imposed by society, he wears a mix of garments without a defined gender. The handbag is part of any outfit because of its usefulness, as well as the short vest, why do short clothes always have to be women's?

Painting your nails is part of art and the color purple has always been linked to feminism. All eyes are on it, because probably for the basic society, it is different. They don't know what they hide behind the mask.

The Golden Nomad is dedicated to the historical Saka king in ceremonial Armor made of golden scales on a leather base. Neo-nomad flew to us through a time capsule and embodied in the image of a modern macho dressed in a digital gold jacket with embroidered brocade inserts. The headpiece is made in the form of a stylized nano-felting helmet with neon illumination and a protective glass mask. The neon illumination of the jacket and pants is activated by a touch button on the gloves equipped with light batteries. Additional light batteries are fixed in the lower part of the legs. The outfit has a large number of pockets. On the belt of the jacket on both sides there are fastenings for felt capes, which are necessary on the way for both Kipchak nomads and Scottish knights, as well as modern Bedouins.
The Golden Nomad stores all the necessary accessories for moving between worlds in a special backpack made of leather and felt, equipped with LEDs. The eyepieces of the VR-glasses have a magnetized 4D vision lens.

'Flestur' is FLExible and STURdy. Seamlessly connected based on two opposing yet completely blendable properties. The new masculinity in design here is not limited to descriptive adjectives like strong / robust, it also extends to fragility / softness. This message is clearly expressed in the hugging design, and the contemporary Asian motifs contrast with the angular material, creating a mysterious, seductive beauty like yin and yang.

Dandyism is something that can be reconsidered, reimagined, and reinterpreted by anyone. It's the idea that you create yourself to make your own statement.

“The idea of dandies has been around for generations from the historical powdered clichés to Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, and Harry Styles. But the idea of dandyism seems lost and forgotten.”

Dandy’s really about a performance of masculinity, it's about accepting there is no rulebook to what it means to be a man.

Too much concern in fantasy, this idea of being liberating, freeing, exciting, and dynamic.
It's about being yourself, finding your path and the power of individuality.
Rebelling against what's gone before and just doing your own thing.

DUALITY -This outfit is an amalgamation of multiple facets of masculinity. It talks about a boundary-less vision for masculine fashion where the odds meet and coexist in harmony, depicting a sense of balance. Matte against shine and sharp cuts against drapey fabric speak of the wide spectrum of masculinity, showing there isn't just one kind of masculinity that exists.
The use of material juxtaposes the familiar with the unfamiliar; the pinstripes reflect the "real world," where our identity is grounded in reality. However, the materials used in this jacket create the illusion of being able to fly through space and time, lending it a futuristic vision.

In response to new masculinity I created Macho Pink. A piece that contradicts itself; it has metal armor details, colored, however, bright pink, a color that’s known to be “girly”. I was thinking about what men have to go through, what they are expected to wear and how “musculine” they have to be, to be considered “real men”. I paired a “shining armor” that strong, masculine knights used to wear with a pink, feminine color to show that modern men don’t have to conform to these stereotypes anymore.

Janus in ancient Roman mythology was known as the initiator of human life, transformations between stages of life, and shifts from one historical era to another.

Janus represented the middle ground between both concrete and abstract dualities such as life/death, beginning/end, war/peace.

The switch between the outfits represents Janus traditional portrait, where he has two faces - one facing the past, and one facing the future. This transition symbolise the shift to new, peaceful, era.

We believe that together we can build a safe Metaverse for us and our next generations.

In this project, "Extravagance and Flamboyance. KERRY with a corsage“, I dressed „KERRY" in an individual look I created for Fashioning Masculinities Digital Fashion Contest

The idea was to create a digital garment look that created the illusion of physicality and integrated digital elements.

Designed to be read from the bottom up, this outfit was created as a response to past, current and future ideas of masculinity. It highlights some of the negative aspects that are still encountered today through the use of protective elements. Armour, padded jackets, needles puncturing aluminium trouser pockets are all meant to symbolize the tension of being strong, fearless and protecting, with the often overlooked qualities of wellbeing and openness. Questioning if the armour is actually protecting or instead trapping the occupier. Towards the top of the outfit is a more hopeful outcome with a decorated heart and an acknowledgement to the many ways masculinity can be expressed through any form or gender .

"Love's Dogma" is the testimony of love and time.
A deep scar that makes its way into the heart and marks it day after day.
The dress, like the wearer, is a survivor of a suffered love,
but it must be worn with the pride of a god, and the humility of a child, for that love will never be in vain.
Every moment spent in love, though it has left deep wounds in its wake,
has also left a message that cannot be forgotten: our love is immortal, and for this: divine.

I was born from a woman and bear her emotions. I have insecurities that necessitate pampering and affection. I'm overdressed in frills, proud of my audacity to be myself. I daydream about wearing the bikini top with the puffy sleeves that symbolise my manhood. In my universe, there is no archetype. I am gentle, modest, and open. I enjoy flaunting my stylish appearance and desire attention. When I have the courage to feel and express what my body demands, my machismo is genuine.

My face crown rescues me from the evil eye. However, I do see your curious expressions, and I am glad to see them. In your Eurocentric society, where my fashion sense defies preconceptions, I stand here confident and unafraid. Come closer to observe and appreciate my looks.

27. Machismo with Frills
I created this Digital Couture piece with questions in mind - Who am I? I have encountered so many labels in my life. People have always questioned my identity, my sexuality and my gender.

I referenced back to the 70s Glam Rock style, re-defining what menswear can look like. Fashion is genderless, fashion is about self-expression. I’m tired of being limited to a box of how a man is supposed to act, dress and speak.

This Digital Couture genderless look is a fusion of traditional Chinese silhouette with extravagant modern twist. At a golden age of fashion inclusivity, we are able to explore or invent new forms of identity through fashion with relative freedom. Focusing on the details, the golden embodied dragon prints symbolise traditional masculinities and power, contrasting with new modern masculinities, the length of the dress and extravagant, flamboyant ruffles.

Random access memories, is a look formed by a set of garments that represent fluid dress codes, also the mix of aesthetics, colors and prints represents the complex and sometimes contradictory context when it comes to deconstructing one's identity and understanding the role that aesthetics and codes play when it comes to fitting into a diverse society.

The title refers to the mythological figure, Caelus, (his name in Latin meaning ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’) who is associated with masculine generative force.
His outfit is inspired by the anatomical shapes of the male figure, combining sportswear and street wear garment details. The paneled mesh top is a sportswear reference while the wide leg jeans as a street wear piece refer to the Y2K trend in contemporary fashion.
The pastel pink and mauve color palette is in contrast with the masculine stereotype of the past decades, which is becoming outdated in contemporary culture. In modern culture it is accepted again, for the first time in centuries, for men to wear colors that were considered feminine in recent past fashion. By using this color scheme I aimed to symbolize the idea of free self expression, the right to express ourselves regardless of gender, yet the design still remaining masculine.
The digital fabrics are sheer mesh tulle, printed power mesh and laser printed denim. The textures are a reference the rich textures and vibrant colors that were accepted until the 18-19th century men’s fashion. In contrast to the historical reference, the print design is inspired by camouflage, an abstract modern pattern that suggests several ideas: the need for blending in or the idea of being an explorer, a traveler.
The scene is created with AI Dall*e and depicts an imaginary landscape, which can be on an unknown planet or can even be a place here on Earth.
It also signifies self exploration, introspection and celebrates the idea that men can have -and are allowed to show their softer aspects- as it is now mor acceptable in modern culture, while they can still remain and be perceived as masculine.

Today's Masculinities in their purest form are unfortunately often fashioned through uniforms and dehumanisation in spaces like prisons and armies. In France, masculinity costs the government around 100 milliards of € per year (Peytavin, "Le coût de virilité"). I'd like to draw attention to this issue : men and AMAB gender minorities (= all bodies with prostates) should empower themselves and challenge their male gender socialization with dignity and honesty instead of reproducing the toxic masculinity that costs everyone (including themselves) money, mental health and lives.

Inspired by the revival of space exploration; combining classic silhouettes with futuristic materials to create an intergalactic menswear outfit.

This ensemble features a cyber-ceramic bomber jacket with LED lights and a black marble-printed nylon ripstop bodysuit. Influences behind this piece include Metal Gear Solid, Mobile Suit Gundam, and Interstellar.

The background retells the classic 1969 moon landing, "One Giant Leap For Mankind".

I believe in a masculine fashion that takes into account every aspect of the male universe. My artwork represents the fusion between the cute and the rough part of the man, like opposites that coexist in a unique man.

While coming up with the idea for this piece, I asked myself what is the sexiest physical thing in a man? The answer was abs! Also, strong shoulders and revealed underwear... But the main focus would be abs... And because both my logo and my name contain honey in them, I've decided to combine the two and create this outfit. It contains references to honey, bees, and beekeepers, as well as references to the style of the men at Burning Man.

My name is Jean Dorsey. I'm a stylist and blogger, living on the Earth N in a parallel reality with you. I've always had a passion for beauty and became a stylist. But even though I could not express myself as much as I'd like to, there were still times when I felt like it was too much for other people to handle.

But then one day it occurred to me that maybe if we all just kept growing beyond those boundaries we had set for ourselves—we could do more to reach our full happiness: we could inspire others to do the same. And so I became an blogger in our social media platform called Minegram.

And now here we are today! This video is from my personal profile on Minegram, which I recorded for Artisant x Jenny DAO initiative and wishing the best of luck to all participants of their Fashioning Masculinities contest!

I guess it's not easy to be a man, or at least not a good one. Man needs to be gentle, but protective at the same time. It doesn't mean women is not strong, just that she needs a strong, supportive man by her side, not to fear him, but to admire him. Men can be masculine while wearing a dress, or sexy underwear. Men can be masculine while taking care of themselves, both physically and emotionally. Men can be masculine while showing their emotions…
