SOPHISTICAL ANDROGYNE:
His dress tells how to wake up with art, freedom, to be oneself. It expresses the primitive power of clothing and the identity.

The adventurer:
On board his jeep, he crosses the deserts of Australia to the research of the gold seam. Sweat out of cotton, skirt in flax with pocket for dagger, boots and hat out of leather, scarf in flax, girdles out of leather with pocket for gourd. Gabrielle Lys February 2006.

THE PRINCE:
The hair squared, "the Prince" is a emblematic character of the gothic parties of Brussels. Matched with deer boots, he wears a mixed silk black dress and blue fabric doubled with tulle. He wears to each wrist many black bracelets. His lipstick color "blood" and his black mascara accentuates the dye "vampire" of his white face.

Proportion of Skirt.
Introduction.
To put on a skirt for a man can require a long research in the stores. That also requires to know some rules on the proportions. According to the dictionary, the word proportion means: "harmonious report/ratio of the parts between them and with the unit".
Le
nombre d'or
en matière de proportion est 1.618. Ainsi si l'on divise une longueur de 100 cm par 1.618, on obtient deux segments: l'un mesure 61.8cm et l'autre mesure 38.2 cm. Cette proportion entre ces deux longueurs est considérée comme particulièrement esthétique.

Ideal proportion of the human body.
It is considered that ideally, a man measures 7 times and half the height of his head.
A man measures 7 times and half the height of his head.
|
Head (of the top to the chin) : 1 head
bust (of the chin to the size) : 2 heads.
basin (of the size to the crotch) : 1 head.
Legs (of the crotch on the ground) : 3 heads.
Foots : 1/2 head.

Proportion of the human body in the fashion drawing.
For reasons of esthetics, the fashion drawing prefers longer figurines lengthened under the size.
In the fashion drawing, a man measures 8 times and half the height of his head.
|
Head (of the top to the chin) : 1 head
bust (of the chin to the size) : 2 heads.
basin (of the size to the crotch) : 1 head.
Legs (of the crotch on the ground) : 4 heads.
Foots : 1/2 head.

Ideal proportion between naked part and clothed part.
|
For the explanation of the ideal proportions, we will use figurines of height of 8 heads by forgetting the feet.If we divide this number 8 by the gold figure 1.618 we obtain the 5/3 proportion.
The naked part of our body is opposed to the clothed part. This opposition create a visual relation. If this proportion respects the gold figure, it is harmonious.
In this sketch, the dress represents 5 heads (bust: 2 + basin: 1 + legs: 2) while the naked part represents 3 heads (head: 1 + legs: 2). the proportion of the 5/3 is thus respected. If the dress went down to the top from the calves, we would have a less becoming proportion of 6/2 less close to the gold figure.

Ideal proportion of clothing between them.
|
In the following sketch, clothing represents 5 heads (bust: 2 + basin: 1 + legs: 2) while the naked part represents 3 heads (head: 1 + legs: 2).
The problem is to define the length of the jacket compared to the length of the skirt. If we divide this number 5 by the gold figure 1.618, we obtain 3/2 proportion.
The jacket is worth 3 heads (bust: 2 + basin: 1) and the skirt 2 heads (legs: 2). We thus respect the gold ciffer.
|
Integrated silhouette.
If we equip the naked part - by sticking, trousers, make-up, hairstyle, ... - the opposition between the naked part and the clothed part disappears. Visual contrast is founded only on differences of colours or texture. It will be then the relation of clothing between them which will have to be taken into account to determine the most harmonious proportion. Here are some examples:
|
dark hairstyle + dark dress: 5 heads
clear legs: 3 heads
|
|
clear hairstyle + clear jacket: 5 heads
dark skirt + dark stick + dark shoes : 3 heads
|
|
dark hairstyle + dark sweet: 3 heads
clear trousers + clear shoes: 5 heads
|
|
clear hairstyle + clear sweet: 3 heads
dark skirt + dark boots : 5 heads

LE CHEVALIER D'EON:
Initially diplomatic then secret agent, an ordinance of Louis XVI obliged him to take the female dress... In 1777, the Chevalier d'Eon wears a splendid dress of the 18th century out of silk with green satin cut off and underskirt.

I believe a man in a dress can be a rakish and extremely stylish look and that it takes fashion-forward trailblazers to help propel this look into the mainstream
