Lack of Inspiration to Blame for Low Sales?

There seems to be a certain something missing in mens fashion today. Lack of inspiration maybe? Many critics have been askingthis question for a while now. Are designers afraid to go against the mold? Until someone rises to the occasion and decides to step out the box- Mens fashion will continue to loom in the shadows.

Interestingly enough it’s not just the states were Mens fashion is being overlooked. In India first attempt at Mens Fashion Week. The Dawn reports that over fifteen shows by 21 different were held. Still, the people that attended the three-day event didn’t place a single order.

In a excerpt taken from The Indian Frez Dial, a representative of the retail chain Aza Men remains hopeful telling the Indian:

“We have been retailing garments from most of the designers through our stores for a long time now. So I am here to just give moral support to this good initiative”.

In my opinion I think some male designers are limited in what they can do and often can’t take many risk as the women. What do you think about the current state of Men’s Fashion? Discuss in the comments section
