Girls will be boys
The intrigue of androgyny has been a style-staple throughout the twentieth century - think of Saint Laurent's Smokings, Chanel and her Matelot jerseys - today, that whole 'boy-girl' thing retains its undeniable allure. Illustrating this point perfectly is this short film, another offshoot from Nick Knight's April British Vogue editorials. Hard lines and a clean, strict silhouette are the androgynous order of the day, with starched white shirts, boyish trousers and tousled hair thrown in the gender-blender with fashion's favourite 21st-century tomboy, Freja Beha Erichsen.
