4. We talk fashion and gender

Fashion's latest infatuation is gender-bending, gender-neutral and unisex clothing. But do clothes even have genders? How do you make gender-neutral clothing? We ask Australian fashion labels Seeker x Retriever and JBC Lingerie to weigh in. Then we chat to our mates Andy, Leah and Holly about what shopping is like when you're gender non-conforming. Also in this episode: the origins of that woven straw bag you've been seeing everywhere, why t-shirts and blazers are a combination best left in the 2000s. A quick lowdown on some terms in this episode: unisex clothing: suitable for both sexes (implicitly acknowledges only two genders) gender-neutral / gender free clothing: clothing undefined by any gender cis: short for cisgender. Describes a person whose gender identity corresponds with their birth sex non-binary: a gender identity that is not restricted to either male or female Head to our Facebook page for this episode's further reading list: https://www.facebook.com/smartcasualpodcast/
