Androgyny in fashion is not a new thing. 

Hellooooo, David Bowie…

 

Throughout the years androgyny has found a place on fashion's "it" list.  But recently it seems that wearing clothing made for the opposite sex is becoming more mainstream.   

When a major rapper can rock a woman's shirt and no one bats and eye, you know that he's onto something…

Sometimes you come across items in fashion that are rather strange…. 

 

 

Delfina Delettrez 
fly pin – 70204a10

this season, culling together signature touches of menswear, nature, and neurosis, the exceptional delfina delettrez presents "we-man": an array of cuffs, crosses, rings, and collars that conjure a hard-edged femininity befitting any 21st-century george sand. incorporating a new cast of characters as well, the spring 2011 collection takes a strong orgiastic tone with its recurring kama sutra couple, frozen in embrace on this season's brooches, bracelets, and rings.

 

This pin from OpeningCeremony.com teaches us that if you can market something (signature touches of menswear, nature, and neurosis, the exceptional delfina delettrez presents "we-man") you can sell to the fashion crowd.  

For only $160 this fly-pen can be yours.

 

 

 

 

Jil Sander puts a contemporary spin on the classic carryall with its bright-orange transparent acetate bag. Carry this statement shopper to punctuate a new-season muted palette. 

 

As minimalism slowly creeps its way back into the fashion vernacular, so does Jil Sander. She once again will wear her crown as Queen of Minimalism with this highly prized, glorified plastic bag.

Here is Ursula Geisselmann arriving at the Valentino Fall Winter 2011/12 Fashion Show carrying her highly coveted orange "market acetate bag."  If you would like to pick up one of these babies… good luck.  It has already sold out at most stores, but if you can track one down, this piece of the elite fashion can be yours for only $135.

 

 

Exclusive to Shopbop.

These round plastic sunglasses feature an attached chain necklace.

We can all thank Nicole Richie for these ridiculous glasses. For only $105 you can take these shades home, but make sure you have decent upper body strength because they will require you to hold them on your face.  That should be fun to do in traffic!
