Creative Project:Gender Roles and Title IX

By Andrew Simmons

The Idea My idea was to create garments for

this project. These garments would be based on the following learned content from the class:

The association of things and certain genders

Gender roles And Title IX

The Inspiration Many designers for the past 3 consecutive

seasons have shown men in kilts and skirts. I found it ironic that we associate women with skirts more so than men, and this was the perfect class to make such a design for.

Many designers also used the theme of sports jerseys or their lettering/numbering as inspiration for many shirts as well. This trend is worn on both the runway, and by the masses, and is therefore considered a fashion trend.

Inspiration: Givenchy

Inspiraton: Gareth Pugh

Inspiration: Rick Owens

My Creation

The Look

The Look

The Conclusion I concluded that gender roles,

although sometimes helpful, can also sometimes hinder or put restraints on things we do, just as we have learned in class.

There are masculine and feminine behaviors that both men and women do when they perform their gender.

Men and women should be treated equally
