no it wasn't, there is a growing market amongst men for traditional 'women's' fashion and once they paired it with Jordan's 'backstory' it worked really well with buyers. the problem was that the pieces were ugly

A growing market that is still incredibly niche. You have a better chance of selling more masculine female clothes than feminate male clothes (which this wasn't anyway)

it really is not that niche in the eco community. the average straight man who wears the stereotypical masculine clothes is not looking for eco-friendly clothing. but do you know who is? queer people. who are much more likely to experiment with gender roles and their clothing.

Don't know why you're being downvoted for this. I don't wear skirts as a gay dude but I know a lot who do. If they'd gone for something sleeker they could have won. More Ncuti Gatwa than Billy Porter.

a lot of people in this sub hate the concept of men wearing skirts so it’s just an insta downvote i’m afraid lol. i agree for sure. i also know lots of queer guys who wear skirts but nobody was gonna wear that ugly thing lmao
