When I saw the Romain Kremer Spring/Summer 2009 collection, I wondered if any man would wear those sheer dresses. Well, I got my answer in a new editorial in Tokion: Yes!
Photographer Rene Habermacher captured model Simon Nessman after being styled by Jason Farrar in a Romain Kremer white sheer dress and an assortment of white skirts and feminine-looking pieces.
With this editorial in Tokion Magazine, it seems that men dressing in feminine garb is turning from a fetish into a mainstream trend.
