BDG: Equality of the Sexes
NEW YORK, Sep 10, 2003/ FW/ --- Equality of the sexes is being taken to the literal sense
in fashion.
Designer Christiun Urquijo has seen the deterioration of the separation of sexes long ago and
based his clothing line, Bodygear, on androgynous designs that effuses eroticism and
sensuality.
Being of Latin descent, celebrating one’s sexuality is not new to Christiun Urquijo.
Having grown up in a culture where fashion was a woman’s seduction, Christiun, who was born in
Cali, Colombia, came to the U.S. to further develop his artistic and innovative approach to
fashion by studying architecture, fine art, dance, theater and fashion.
By incorporating all of these elements, he creates clothes that are fluid and move with the body.
Each carefully constructed piece is made to enhance a body’s natural assets.
With Bodygear, Christiun seeks to accommodate a woman’s perpetual need to
express herself through clothing and to motivate men to feel free and confident
enough with their own gender to do the same.
To this effect, Bodygear’s new and inventive textiles push the envelope in fashion design
to create new looks that have never been viewed before.
The clothing accentuates sexuality without crossing the line of decency.
