Here's one for the Men =)
Raul Osorio...Honduras born Raul Osorio is transforming the look of traditional “dude” apparel with a little help from his friend androgyny and a whole lot of innovation. Inspired by Grecian draping, charro suits, military jackets and the romance of Hispanic culture, Raul’s exquisite designs are a hybrid of multicultural fashion, blending soft, almost feminine elements with bold color, hard lines and tailored silhouettes.
I don't know about you but the jeans and T-shirt look for guys can get pretty old. It's nice to see male designers take fresh and different approaches to men's fashion. It's also nice to see a feminine softness without going too far. Raul's designs incorporate a new approach while also staying true to his roots and Hispanic culture at the same time. Raul has also been quoted to say that he like to create 'gender neutral wearables'. He says that his draping style is 'smart' and prides himself on being able to showcase the fashion versus the gender of the wearer.
I'm a fan of 'girly' specific for females and the 'manly man' look for men but sometimes its nice to be a bit ambiguous and give the androgynous look a try.
Ok, so I'm almost certain my boyfriend would absolutely NOT let me put him in these but maybe some mix and match would work. He would definitely go for the jackets but the shorts? No. Nevertheless, beautiful work by Raul.
