The Skirt...not only for the woman anymore

Givenchy 2011 S/S Skirt for men

The skirt for a man was a hot fashion piece in the 18th century. Who would have thought in the 21st century it would be recreated? My review of the 2011 Fashion Week Runway Shows there were heavily filled with what I call the "Man Skirt".  Male skirts have been accepted by many designers this Spring/Summer season like Givenchy, Emporio Armani, Calvin Klein, Ann Demeulemeester, Vivienne Westwood and Commes des Garcons just to name few.  Although, in this time of age the skirt is a feminine item and psychologically only worn by a woman and by men for culture purposes.  However, the heighten in men's fashion says no way lets add this fashion piece for the modern male. I think the "Man Skirt" is a barrier break for a man to express their confidence in fashion, his own style, and sexuality. In today's world that is more accepting I think the skirt for a man will be worn by more then the homosexual male, especially with the growing numbers of heterosexual men in fashion and return of the Metrosexual! Reveiw some of the different men skirts below...
