The Views Above Cristina Gonzalez del Peso
Ungendered Code We are born, assigned a sex, and sent out into the world as male or female, to reference social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. Sexual anatomy is insignificant to who one is and what one does. I dream of an androgynous and genderless society where we can enjoy freedom from the male-female gender classification. Unfortunately we do not live in such a world, and gender remains to divide humanity into two types and gender remains the division of humanity. Inevitably there is a mark of biological diversity and even though it is the 21st century, society still positions people into classes. In my opinion fashion should not be predetermined by physical anatomy. Gender is the complex interrelationship between an individual’s sex and one’s internal sense of self. Fashion should be boundless and suitable for either sex. A way of expression. Androgyny includes dressing in way where one is unable to tell gender identity. With my design I want to express a desire for the unconventional and the exceptional. Breaking the rules from the ordinary. Layering feminine and masculine clothes together makes an undetermined outfit. The pieces that can be worn separately either for men and women although mixing them together makes the individual question which gender it belongs to.

Costumer Profile They are people who are up to date with the latest developments in the fashion industry and want fashionable and modern yet unusual and uncommon outfits. They do not care very much about the price although they would not pay more than £250 for a unique jacket which for the customer it is a reasonable price. They can be either a man or a woman, they belong to any culture, social status and political ideology as the clothes they are buying celebrate diversity and stay away from the stereotypes. They are interested in film, music and art. They also love visiting art galleries all over the world, and enjoy creating in their spare time. Above anything they are interested in fashion. Always looking for avant-garde clothes to stand out from the crowd. They like the urban aesthetic of sportswear. Vests, hoodies, t-shirts, sweatshirts and jogging bottoms are a must in their wardrobe. Kenzo, DKNY and CRES. E DIM. are among their favourites brands.
