  • To See How Far Women Have Come, Just Look at Their Work Clothes
    8 Jun 2015—mic.com
    You'd think we'd be over it. But Hillary Clinton's pantsuit was back in the conversation last month, with the debut of the cheeky "Everyday Pantsuit Tee" in her campaign store. We're still talking about what Hillary wears to work, not to mention what fashions Michelle Obama or Marissa Mayer sports. But rather than being simply a sexist fixation, examining our work wardrobes can provide valuable social analysis: What women wear to work says a lot about how far we've come in gender...
  • Men, Here's What Your Obsessive Love of Socks Really Says About You
    25 Jun 2015—mic.com
    You've all seen it. The guy in the brown slacks, polished loafers, a collared shirt... and striped pink and blue socks that are so bold they're impossible to ignore. When it comes to men getting dressed these days, socks are king. For men, particularly snake person guys, socks have evolved from being a basic garment to cover bare feet from stiff shoes. They're the ultimate mirror into the hard-partying soul, apparently, the footwear version of the "business in the front, party in the back"...

    30 Jun 2015—mic.com
    Finding a bra that fits is tough. Finding a bra that fits when you've had a double mastectomy at 28 can be nearly impossible. Popular lingerie stores specialize in the latest shapes and colors but tend to fall short when it comes to suitable options for those who have had mastectomies due to breast cancer. Dana Donofree was one such woman, finding herself with few options as a cancer survivor in her late twenties. So she started AnaOno Intimates, a line of lingerie designed for women who've...
  • Can You Spot the Men in This Fashion Show?
    10 Jul 2015—mic.com
    A typical haute couture show features models elaborately clad in fantastical attire, like these getups from Paris Fashion Week, which is currently underway: These are the models from John Galliano's Paris show for his haute couture label Maison Margiela. What's the difference? The second group are men. Galliano featured three male models on the runway in a show dedicated to women's fashion, and they looked as stunning as their fellow catwalkers. But if you couldn't decipher their gender,...
  • This Androgynous Model Is Shattering Gender Norms — but Also Revealing Fashion's Limits
    17 Jul 2015—mic.com
    "He's so beautiful." That's the sentence designer Loris Diran kept hearing his guests remark as they came backstage Wednesday night to compliment one of his models, Rain Dove. Diran smiled and said, "You mean 'she.'" His guests laughed at what they presumed was a joke, Diran told Mic. But then Dove unbuttoned her shirt to show off the chest binder she had on underneath. The model they'd seen walking down the runway at Diran's fall 2015 show was a woman. Dove has a strong jawline, cropped hair...
