The Met’s “Superfine” exhibition is generating buzz as the first menswear-focused showcase in over two decades. Back in 2003, Andrew Bolton wowed audiences with “Bravehearts: Men in Skirts,” shedding light on the historical significance of menswear as a means of communication and expression. The exhibition challenged traditional notions of masculinity by exploring the evolution of men’s fashion, particularly the use of skirts as a symbol of power and status.

“Bravehearts” emphasized that prior to the 19th century, men were unabashedly flamboyant in their attire, using clothing to convey their social standing and masculinity. The exhibition also highlighted the fact that skirts were not always a gendered garment, debunking Western stereotypes surrounding menswear. Despite the efforts of designers like Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi to blur gender lines in fashion, men still face societal barriers when it comes to embracing traditionally feminine styles.

Reviews of “Bravehearts: Men in Skirts” praised the exhibition for its boldness and relevance in the era of metrosexuality. The show was seen as a celebration of freedom and self-expression, harkening back to a time when men were unapologetically fashionable. It also touched on the concept of the “great masculine renunciation,” when men traded in their elaborate attire for somber suits, signaling a shift in societal norms.

In today’s fashion landscape, women often borrow from menswear with ease, while men still hesitate to experiment with traditionally feminine styles. The exhibition served as a reminder of the power of fashion to challenge gender norms and push boundaries. As society continues to evolve, “Bravehearts” remains a poignant reflection of the complexities of masculinity and self-expression in the modern world.
