We surround ourselves in fashion everyday, fashion is an art. The reality of fashion being restricted is emotionally confining. Why are there only two options of Womenswear and menswear in high-street fashion stores? Why does the creative limit stop there? Where is the diversity? It's 2017, androgyny is at it's highest evolvement - it is essential for high-street fashion stores to introduce more intersected options for androgynous people, or for people who believe fashion is expressive and not restricive.

For fashion to be viewed as anything other than art is a tragedy. For someone to tell you what you are wearing is not "right" is a lie. Art has no limits. Art is expression, with expression comes with no limits. Fashion gives you that power to be anything you want. No one should dictate what you wear, because that is letting someone dictate who you are. If you let someone dictate what you wear, you are letting society win, you are living for their expectations and you are letting society strip you of your identity. 

This is why high-street fashion need to introduce androgynous intersected fashion choices, if high-street stores do this, they are not only giving fashion limitless expression, they are also evolving and contributing towards feminism and the gay rights movement as androgyny is intersected within them. If more fashion stores involved themselves in positive social conformity such as gender-fluidity becoming a social norm, it will have such a massive impact on the world as we live in fashion.

We choose what art to wear each day, that art can either be an imprisonment of who you are, giving into society's expectations or an expression of who you are, demolishing society's expectations and living life for you and this is exactly why high-street fashion stores should introduce intersected fashion.
