People Like What They Like.

Masculinity is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with men and boys. Although masculinity is socially constructed, research indicates that some behaviors considered masculine are biologically influenced. But to what extent, masculinity is biologically or socially influenced? This is still up for debate. Of course because we have been taught gender roles for decades, it's quite difficult for us to think otherwise. I say that people like what they like and if they aren't harming anyone, then leave them be.

Vogue Magazine presents Harry Styles wearing a Gucci jacket and dress.

December 2020

"There’s so much joy to be had in playing with clothes. I’ve never thought too much about what it means—it just becomes this extended part of creating something” -Harry Styles

My Entry...

This type of dress is a product and body supplement. The garments are products that he wears. The body supplements are his tattoos and any accessories you see him wearing. The cultural components this dress is connected to socialization and art. Harry Styles talks about how his idea of fashion and how he doesn't make his decisions based on gender roles like society has taught up. He just wants to be himself and connect to others in that way. I believe this photoshoot is art, especially putting the looks, props and backgrounds together.
