Why Gender Neutrality Is The Future Of Fashion!

Jason Arland

Actor, Model, and Singer

"I think my sense of style is sexy-it is a celebration of who I am. I love to play dress up', highlighting both: my feminine and masculine sides. What I am wearing in this photograph (by Polite Society) is very 'me'. I love pieces that complement my body, and corsets are my favourite thing right now. I like when fashion is a little uncomfortable and yet comfortable, and has a campy' element to it. I have always considered myself a performer first, even before I got into modelling and acting, and pop culture has played a huge role in shaping my aesthetic. However, I would like to give credit to my family for encouraging me to experiment from a young age. As a queer person, I don't think gender neutrality is a trend-it is a part of who we are and how we express ourselves. So I don't think the onus of breaking the rigid fashion stereotypes associated with the LGBTQIA+ community is on us...because we did not make these strict codes. I am just glad it has sparked a dialogue, and that everyone gets to experience it."
