Fashion Fluidity: 3 new approaches to style for Generation Z
As part of the “Fashion Fluidity” socio-fashion study, LeherpeurParis conducted interviews with École Duperré students between 20 and 27 years old. The aim was to understand their relationship to fashion fluidity as members of Generation Z.
A social mutation
“I don’t think gender should be a barrier to style as long as we like the clothes..
There’s no such thing as a girl’s phone or a man’s phone, why should that be the case for clothes?” – Matthis 22
The generation we interviewed is significantly challenging our relationship with clothing. It stands out by adopting a different perspective that goes beyond the conventions of ready-to-wear, exploring new dimensions and forms of expression that redefine the traditional concept of men’s fashion.
These revolutionary approaches are not limited to Generation Z; they are gradually permeating older generations, demonstrating the influence of this new generation.
The evolution of the relationship to gender is also observed in consumption practices, notably through the growing popularity of buying second-hand clothes in physical thrift stores or online platforms like Vinted.
“On Vinted, for example, I no longer use gender filters, I just use size filters.” — Souaadou, 26 years old

Masculinin : ~ 50% fluidity
As fashion trends become more fluid and women’s garments take center stage, styling adopts new codes and dares to be more fanciful and poetic.
Pride Age : 100% fluidity
The pleasure of dressing and interpreting fashion as self-expression, the search for enjoyment and seduction.
