David Yoo's clothing is interesting to say the least. The designer has created some interchangeable clothing in which gender is put on the back burner. The men's styles look like they could be worn by women, and the women's styles are very masculine.
As strange as their designs may be, David Yoo's clothing is actually pretty cool. Hopping on the androgynous fashion bandwagon, Yoo's photoshoot uses some long-haired male models as well as some made-up-to-be-male female models, just to complete the gender-bending vibe.
