Danish fashion designer Martin Asbjørn is experimenting with genderless iterations of clothing for Fall 2022. The Fall/Winter 2022 collection features 32 distinctive looks that fit equally into the categories of sharp tailoring and sports luxe, which makes this collection ideal for those within the fashion industry or affiliated with it.
The removal of gender-confining labels comes from Asbjørn’s customers, who the designer recognizes are a large percentage of women, despite being a menswear brand. Thus, it was only a matter of time before Asbjørn began to cater its clothing to all genders. The collection features a wide range of colors such as khaki, ochre, metallic pink, and more.
"It’s a collection of great clothes, not a story-telling process or a personal viewpoint," Asbjørn adds in an interview.
