Coup: 5 girls displaying men's clothing

Xenia Dukalis

The industry prefers to believe that Female Beauty is short-lived, and if the model does not become sufficiently successful to a critical threshold of 25 years (that is, it does not do a couple of Prada campaigns and does not open the Alexander McQueen and Jil Sander shows), it needs to look for ways to escape. The original answer to the question "What to do?" proposed the 31-year-old American model Elliot Sailors. The successful model of the Ford agency that adorned Bacardi billboards around the world exchanged long curls for a haircut for a boy, refused cosmetics and turned into a model for the male division. The girl argued her decision by saying that the male career in the modeling business is much longer than the female one, and her trick will give her extra time to work. Indeed, when it comes to age, fashion often sets double standards. She is not interested in the position “it is possible to grow old beautifully”, if we are talking about a woman, while men go to the podium at the age of 30 or even 40 years old.

The course on androgyny allowed female models to discover new ways to develop their careers. Elliot Sailors is not the first who decided to play sex change. Wonderzine recalled 5 models that most successfully cope with male images on the catwalk and in filming.

Casey legler

Casey Legler is the first girl in the world to sign a contract with a male modeling agency. Her androgynous appearance, height 188 cm and athletic figure made her an ideal candidate for Ford Models and the face of the men's and women's collections AllSaints. The girl believes that her life is inextricably linked to work, and declares that her work is "to be brave and be an example for others." In her opinion, the fact that not all women look like women is normal, the main thing is to be yourself.

Jenny Shimizu

The American model of Japanese origin, which was one of the first to be positioned as a male model. Jenny does not wear women's clothes on principle. The icon of the grunge movement of the 90s, the girl starred in movies and magazines, but everywhere remained true to her position. Shimizu is also known for her novels with Madonna and Angelina Jolie. During her career, Jenny worked with brands such as Calvin Klein and Jean-Paul Gaultier, and in 2013 she walked the catwalk as part of the Givenchy men's show.

Erica Linder

Swedish model Erica Linder states that she has too much imagination to limit herself to one sex. Her versatile image was to the liking of designers, and by the age of 23 she had already managed to walk on the shows of Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto and 3.1 Phillip Lim in the male image and was not going to stop. The girl admits that when at the age of 14 the scout offered her to be a model, she refused to think without further thought: she liked to be a kid, and not a commercial princess. Four years later, she still became a model of the largest Scandinavian agency MIKAs, but remained true to herself and her style.
