The Patta '#SSS Ladies' Fall/Winter collection is full of clothing that could be interpreted in a completely [androgynous fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi), appearing equally stylish on either men or women. Yet, most of this clothing is labeled and sized for men. The Patta #SSS editorial accompanying the collection's release combats this notion by creating lovely, [feminine looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) out of what is conventionally men's streetwear.

The styles in the Patta #SSS lookbook are very 80s and 90s inspired, with lots of high-waisted bottoms, slouchy sweatshirts, layers, caps and even a fanny pack. Further celebrating the brand's versatility, the editorial's models come in every age, size, look and color.

With this beautiful and fascinating editorial, Patta '#SSS Ladies' is challenging the fashion industry's standards of who great clothing is made for. It follows suit with other apparel brands who are [diversifying their choice of models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-second-dawn) and largely eliminating their use of photoshop.
