FINAL DRAFT:

Masculinity through Gen Z eyes in 2021

by: Sofia Rojas & Daniela Jiménez

In fashion, femininity is the main character. For decades it has ruled the entire business and created many careers that are well-known throughout the world. Some famous models in this industry that represent femininity are Kendall Jenner, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio.

But times have changed, men are making an appearance and are climbing fast. Now, it is more common to see men wearing more feminine clothes, wearing make-up, more bold outfits, painting their nails, and even wearing jewelry on different platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram, or Twitter, and even in well-known magazines. They are revealing a new reality, showing that men don’t have to wear “boy clothes” to be a man. Good-bye, toxic and fragile masculinity!

Vinnie Hacker, Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, Ross Lynch, and more famous male artists are evolving, changing the game by making appearances in photoshoots on social media, on television, and they are changing the perspective of how fashion should be for men and also for women.

Gender stereotypes play an important role in how a woman should dress and how a man should dress. These determine not only physical appearance but how each gender should act. When famous men in society challenge these stereotypes, clearly there are many opinions on the subject. Some may think that they are brave, that they have a lot of personalities, and that they want to express themselves; while other people have a completely different opinion and pigeonhole them in stereotypes of "homosexuals".

Like these men, society must evolve and not criticize a person, whether man or woman, for their way of dressing. With the help of social media platforms for teenagers, such as TikTok, teens are noticing that there is a change in the fashion industry. There are new brands with unisex clothes appearing, like Ader Error and Andersson Bell. Very prestigious ones, making masculinity and femininity nonsense words.

Our model’s name is Samuel Coley. He is a fierce and amazing guy with a free spirit. He is an icon for fashion within the Gimnasio la Colina, he is recognized by his outfits and not being afraid of what they will say.
