Boy girl boy: Androgyny heats up the runway

Paris – Pushing the boundaries of masculinity, the new collection by Juun J. hinted at a unisex silhouette for future menswear.

In addition to altering the traditional male aesthetic, Juun J. added a utilitarian sentiment with cargo pockets, and zippers to create multilayered coats and jackets.
