Most notable was the new era at <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/gucci'>Gucci<\/a>, ushered in by head designer <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/alessandro-michele'>Alessandro Michele<\/a>, where his debut S\/S \u201915 menswear collection for the brand demonstrated a man much more whimsical, gentle, and ambiguous than the glitter rock gods of collections past. Michele, of course, isn\u2019t the first or the only contemporary designer to question the guidelines of gendered attire, as <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/yohji-yamamoto'>Yohji Yamamoto<\/a>, <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/rick-owens'>Rick Owens<\/a>, <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/comme-des-garcons'>Comme des Gar\u00e7ons<\/a>, <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/ann-demeulemeester'>Ann Demeulemeester<\/a>, and <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/rad-hourani'>Rad Hourani<\/a> have long been champions of challenging preconceived notions of masculinity and femininity, and Prada and Jil Sander have never shied away from the asexual. This year, however, the agender agenda refused to be dismissed as only a fashion statement or aesthetic choice, and has instead become part of a larger social and philosophical conversation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80520\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80520\" style=\"width: 1012px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2015\/12\/GettyImages-490899052.jpg\"  data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"PARIS, FRANCE - OCTOBER 01: A model walks the runway during the Rick Owens show as part of the Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring\/Summer 2016 on October 1, 2015 in Paris, France.
