Harry Styles waves at the Gucci event wearing a 'pearl necklace'. Following this, Korea's fashionista G-Dragon also appeared wearing a Chanel tweed jacket layered with a pearl necklace. I remember it as a line that added 'break away from gender stereotypes' to the relaxed fashion scene. Pearl necklaces have now become an accessory for everyone, regardless of gender. It is an item that moves between genders fluidly. Let’s start with the meaning of genderfluid. Genderfluid means that gender identity is not fixed to one side but moves fluidly like water. American actors Miley Ray Cyrus and Ezra Matthew Miller also came out as genderfluid. These days, I would like to introduce you to a case in the marketing field where this phenomenon has been captured and translated into products and services. Genderfluid is written like this. Do not separate bathrooms for men and women. Write it together.

It is a state where femininity and masculinity are mixed, making it impossible to distinguish between genders. The aforementioned 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (Meisje met de parel) by Johannes Vermeer is reinterpreted as Harry Styles' 'Man with a Pearl Necklace'. LdSS, there is only one size regardless of gender The concept of genderfluid has even given birth to a brand. Ludovic de Saint Sernin, who designed accessories at Balmain, launched a brand called LdSS, named after his initials. While established brands present collections with clear differences between men and women, he presents clothes that make it difficult to tell whether they are for men or women. It even has one size. gender-fluid-ldss ⓒ 2023. LdSS all rights reserved. Niche perfume brand without gender indication In addition to ‘men with flowers’, the number of ‘men with the scent of flowers’ is also increasing. Floral and musk perfumes, which every woman owns, are no longer just for women. On the contrary, the number of men who use women's perfume has increased, saying that they like a soft and warm scent.
