The androgynous Aiden Andrews is the perfect fit for the Loden Dager Spring 2011 lookbook. Photographed by Alessio Boni, the series of photos are soft in character, shape and design.
A recurring theme for Loden Dager in this season is the industrial high-waisted men's chain belt -- a look that we've mostly only seen on women. Never mind gender roles; the belt works flawlessly, creating a style-conscious but effortless ensemble.
Implications - As society moves towards more egalitarian gender relationships, the fashion industry is reflecting this change through androgyny. Corporations looking to convey their progression should similarly look to demonstrate egalitarianism in their respective industry.
