Not according to James. The designer is the model here, and he is showing [gender boundaries fade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) under his creative influence. In these shots he is wearing his own sheer black shirt, [black lace pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) with nude lining and [velvet jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-ss26). He also has a David Bowie-inspired electric blue velvet and sequins ensemble if the lace isn’t on the edge enough for you.

The photos were shot by Bret Lloyd and styling was overseen by Raph Castelmezzano. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gender-neutral Fashion:** Opportunity for designers and retailers to create and market clothing that blurs traditional gender boundaries. - **Lace in Men's Fashion:** Emerging trend of incorporating lace into men's fashion, opening up new possibilities for designers and expanding product offerings. - **Creative Influences in Clothing:** Opportunity for designers to draw inspiration from cultural icons like David Bowie and experiment with bold and unconventional materials and designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion industry can capitalize on the growing demand for gender-neutral clothing and innovative materials, creating unique designs that appeal to diverse consumer preferences. - **Retail:** Retailers can cater to the evolving fashion preferences by offering a wider selection of gender-neutral clothing and promoting inclusivity in their marketing strategies. - **Photography and Styling:** Increased demand for creative and avant-garde fashion photography and styling, presenting opportunities for photographers, stylists, and creative directors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Luxe Formal Menswear Campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-ss26.md) - [Genderless Outerwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Collaborative Artful Runway Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-clark.md) - [Elegant Men's Formalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-victor1.md) - [Purposefully Stained Luxe Trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pee-stain-denim.md)
