ANDROGYNOUS IS FEMALE. MAX.TAN SPRING - SUMMER 2017

You can not diminish femininity. Even when it is worn with dresses made à la garçonne. This is the manifesto that Max.Tan designed for the woman who will live next summer. The brand from Singapore becomes inspector of the current philosophy of “no gender versus gender versus androgyny” and the discovery is within a collection that expresses an elegant dichotomy between the classical elements of the female and the male wardrobe.

Shirts with a romantic fascination ironically appear below evening gowns, that before these were being wonderful men-outerwear. Luxurious bustier make sensual an under text typical male. A scale in perfect balance, emphasized by only two colors: white and black.

Max.Tan so, goes insert in fashion brands, contemporary and not, who have thoroughly studied a subject often considered taboo. It has done quite hard to believe it possible in the fashion world. “Why can not a woman be elegant and feminine while wearing clothes taken from the male wardrobe?”. This is the question that many of the brands have asked for a response. The Asian brand proposes one, personal.

In the collective imagination is the curvy woman who, after a night of passion, wears a man’s shirt which she loved. But there must be something more, all this conceptual and structural work can not live only of such iconography. And then, of course, it has to observe and revolutionize a thought and do it right. I wonder if, when they run out the conceptual ideas about the duality man – woman, Max.Tan will not even think about achieving even a men’s collection. The conditions are all there.
