Whilst doing my usual twittering on my Twitter feed this morning, an alarming series of headline presented themselves to me; "Woman Hospitalised for 4 Days After Wearing Skinny Jeans and Squatting" was Cosmo's choice, whereas Dazed & Confused went with the slightly more sober "Doctors warn skinny jeans are seriously bad for your health".

In the wake of Bruce Jenner's incredibly brave interview with Diane Sawyer, in which he confirmed his transition to becoming a woman, trans issues have never been more prevalent in the mass media. Just days before it aired, illegally obtained paparazzi photos of Bruce outside his home wearing a dress surfaced. The revelation comes during a time of change in fashion, when genderless clothing is becoming a widely discussed topic - why, in 2015, do we still adhere to such outdated gender conventions when it comes to fashion?
