PARIS, Feb 25, 2008 / FW/ — Bruno Pieters must be enjoying his job as a consulting designer at Hugo Boss. His Fall 2008 collection features only trousers; no skirts or dresses unless it is proposed as a top!
Other womenswear designers have created collections without pants, only skirts and dresses; but Bruno Pieters decided to go the exact opposite, perhaps proving that a girl can wear only masculine clothes and still retain her femininity. Or did she?
In a collection with has a futuristic vibe, courtesy of the shiny fabric and the models’ sleeked hair, the feeling being emoted is actually androgyny. Yes, there is no tomboyish attitude. The girls did not borrow from her boyfriend or brother’s wardrobe. Yet, they are not romantic girls either. No damsels in distress around here.
What Bruno Pieters achieved is a real wardrobe for women based on man’s clothing without the cliché ‘borrowing from a man’s wardrobe.’ And though it can also be honestly be said that this concept had been seen before on Jean Paul Gaultier and Kris Van Assche’s catwalks, Bruno Pieters’ take is his own and quite honestly very refreshing and novel in its own way.

Purely and simply, its female transvesty ! They can deny the truth but they can not destroy the truth. Sad, very sad, they women’s fashions are manly and anti-feminine for the last 50 years.
