The year of 2015 will leave many lasting memories: some good like avocado toast being widely available, some even better like Trump\u2019s presidential campaign. But how will it go down in the history of fashion? Will it be remembered for loose male genitalia on the catwalk, for top designers shunning major brands, or the subsequent shock appointments? With 2015\u2019s end nearing, we\u2019ve singled out the top five moments that made this year so unforgettable in the world of fashion.<\/p>\n

1. Gender is so last year <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/strong>At the very start of 2015, fashion provocateur Rick Owens sent down the runway semi-naked male models dangling their bits. With this gesture not only did the designer grab many a headline but also raised the question of gender equality, setting the tone for the whole year. Owens\u2019 AW15 loose-penis collection demonstrated that male nudity is still very much a taboo, while switching the roles of male and female models on the catwalk. Month after month, more barriers in gender distinction were brought down. Major names such as Cavalli went mad for androgyny; retailers like Selfridges and thecorner.com<\/a> launched their lines of agender clothing, while Hari Nef<\/a> and other transgender models graced the campaigns of numerous brands including Telfar and Eckhaus Latta<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
