The age of genderless accessories
According to the latest edition of Mipel – the Bag Show from September 1 through 4 at Rho- FieraMilano, the increasingly intimate blend of male and female that emerged in the men’s fashion shows, is expressed through the arbitrary use of accessories. So homosexuality and transsexuality has been joined by genderless or “liquid” sensuality, to use a term borrowed from the web. Amid arguments and debates, fashion is aestheticizing the phenomenon that in the world of show business is already embodied by Conchita Wurst, the splendid and disconcerting creature with a thick dark beard. The consequence? Simple. New and important opportunities are opening in the leather goods market that in this particular economic climate should not be missed.
