Introducing Altu, ALTUZARRASTUDIO's new collection of genderful fashion
pantsuits—is the designer behind the new collection of “genderful” clothes. Genderful, he says, because he doesn’t like the “negation of gender expression that comes with the word genderless or gender neutral. For me,” he adds, “genderful is a very positive word. It acknowledges a kind of plurality of identity and I think it feels playful.”A line of essentials with two styles of leather pants as hero pieces, Altu is launching exclusively onand MatchesFashion.com today.
During the lockdowns Altuzarra explored his own gender expression, challenging his ideas of maleness by wearing skirts over pants or skirts on their own. “Altu is a very personal reflection of my own discovery on this,” he says. Meaning that the collection will evolve as his thinking about gender—and his customers’ thinking—changes.“That makes it feel different from Altuzarra, and I like that,” he says.
It’s fashionable nonetheless. The leather pants come in a wide-leg carpenter cut and a narrower low-rise version. Altuzarra wears both, and he says each style went through “probably 20 fittings,” to ensure they’d work for “all genders, different sizes, and different shapes.” Naturally, Sivan’s tank dress is in the mix, as are hoodies and tees—note the slit in the t-shirts’ necklines; Altuzarra wears his that way, slipping a gold necklace his husband gave him 13 years ago through the hole.
