Men are objectified, sexualized and heroized in the fashion industry. They are portrayed as sexy, macho, mystery men that are all powerful. A lot of attention has been brought to the same issues in the industry for woman and change has come from it. I believe the same changes need to start happening for men in the industry.
I wanted to start by at least giving men the appearance of being more than a muscular, rich, player that was about to pick up some girl. I wanted to give them emotion, thought, a story beyond being hot and successful. They had to have soul and heartache and failure. They had to be real. They had to be old souls.
