This week, Kanye West released his new album, and the third season of his clothing line. This not only excited millions of people around the world, but also marked a turning point in pop culture. Ever since Kanye's "Yeezy" clothing line came out, social media has been bursting with people inspired by his products. Aside from progressing modern style, the rise of, particularly straight, men interested in fashion has removed some of the assumptions made by the young generation about males who like clothes. It seems that growing up, I always heard people being called names for liking fashion and wanting to design it, but with the sudden burst of interest in style in our society, it's no longer looked down upon to dress well.
Throughout American history, men have always followed their time's style choices. However, for a very long time, making and designing clothing wasn't a respected profession. Men were led away from that line of work, and told to do more "manly" things with their time, and women were pushed into domestic chores, including taking care of clothing. Now, though, the lines between these two have blurred, and it's okay for anyone to pursue almost any career.
