Androgyny - THe World In Between
“Androgyny is not trying to manage the relationship between the opposites; it is simply flowing between them."
- June Singer
“I see fashion as a proclamation or manifestation of identity, so, as long as identities are important, fashion will continue to be important. The link between fashion and identity begins to get real interesting, in the case of people who don't fall clearly into a culturally-recognized identity.”
- Kate Bornstein
Androygny – The world in between” exhibition acknowledges the influence and importance of Androgyny and its influence in fashion. Androgyny has been a common thread in fashion for decades; many designers go into gender-bending collection even though they primarily focus on designing for a certain culturally recognized gender. Reason includes public fascination with the notion of Androgyny, as it is often a taboo in Western culture despite it being a gender-neutral word.
Iconic androgynous designs are taken from the works of acclaimed designers including Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rad Hourani, Ann Demeulemeester, Comme Des Garcon & John Galliano.
The exhibition is broadly categorized into Androgynous Womenswear, Unisex-wear and Mens-wear respectively. The exhibition aims to educate the public of the influence of Androgyny in Fashion and increase awareness of the works of the designers. Enter, discover and enjoy the creative and fascinating collaboration of Androgyny and Fashion.

Defining Androgyny
As to the sexual orientation, an androgynous person can be heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual.
Androgynous traits are those that either have no gender value, or have some aspects generally attributed to the opposite gender.
1. Physical (intersexual) - born with both male and female genitals;
2. Psychological, combining both masculinity and femininity as traits of a unified gender that defies social roles and psychological attributes.

Brief History of Androgyny
During the ‘counter-culture’ revolution in the 1960’s, music and fashion industries inspired a trend towards self-exploration emphasizing individual freedom and self-realization.
The women’s liberation movement of the 1970’s refuted the idea that women were naturally passive, emotional, and weaker than men.
Men and women alike could dress freely as they liked, disregarding social norms and culturally recognized gender roles.
Rolling Stones in 1960s
Hippies in 1960s
Punks in 1960s
Women’s Liberation in 1970s
Brief History of Androgyny
In the 1980s, androgynous musicians - Boy George, David Bowie - made headlines as they captured the world's fascination with sexual ambiguity.

Yves Saint Laurent
Acclaimed French fashion designer August 1, 1936 – June 1, 2008
Astonishing versatility. In the 1960s he clothed women in blazers, pin-striped trouser suits
and smoking jackets, and took risks by turning the workaday parka, the trench
coat and the pea coat into haute couture. In the 1970s he dreamed up ethnic prints
and put shoulder-padding back into jackets.

Jean Paul Gaultier
French Fashion Designer born 24 April 1952
Inspired by none other than Walt Disney and the fantastic fairy tales he created.
Gaultier's following collections have been based on street wear, focusing on popular culture, whereas others, particularly his Haute Couture collections, are very formal yet at the same time unusual and
playful.

Comme des Garcon(Rei Kawakubo)
Rei Kawakubo, founder and owner of Comme Des Garcons since 1969
コム・デ・ギャルソン (Komu de Gyaruson) in Japanese and French for “Like Boys”
This name signifies how the merchandise the company produces or uses a male-like theme and transforms it to female garments
Comme des Garcons specializes in anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments, sometimes
lacking a sleeve or other component.
This style refused to obey accepted notions of silhouette and bodyline to create dramatic and innovative designs: upside-down pockets, de-emphasized
shoulders and extra-long sleeves.
