I saw this new advertisement for David’s Bridal on the airplane yesterday, and I thought it pretty much summed up my revulsion for the bridal industry in particular, and attitudes about how men and women are “supposed” to dress in general.
One of my goals with the Uniform of Man project is to move men and male dressing away from the ideal standard of “invisibility.” Uniforms themselves are interesting, tailoring is a dying art form, and men deserve time in the spotlight just like women deserve the right to be more than decorative objects.
