Yes, you read that title correctly. And to be clear, this isn’t a common trend– it’s a product of this year’s New York Fashion Week.
Fashion has been making statements for centuries, so that part of it isn’t surprising.
However, we doubt anyone was expecting to see merkins, AKA vagina wigs, on the runway anytime soon.
Fashion designer, Kaimin, produced the concept, displaying a series of wig-driven designs.
Furthermore, Kaimin made this fashion choice for a reason–not to raise eyebrows for the heck of it.
If that piques your curiosity, keep reading.
Find out about Kaimin’s attention-grabbing showcase, and the long history behind it.
Because as it turns out, fashion designers have been pushing the envelope for years in similar ways.
And it’s because of a specific statement they’re trying to make!
The fancy wigs, also known as Merkins, come in many different styles.
Did you know that there’s a Mohawk-themed vagina wig?
In fact, pubic hair itself is making a comeback.
Hairy chests and armpit hair went out of style by the end of the ‘70s– It even became an expectation that women remove basically all the hair on their bodies, barring hair, eyebrows, and lashes. Because of the expectations placed on women, pubic hair has become a symbol of feminism—and there’s been extensive dialogue surrounding it. Bikini waxing only became a relatively popular thing in the ‘80s, as women had previously shaved or used depilatory creams.
The Brazilian was seen as an extreme in the late ‘90s, before the apparent need for hair removal overrode that.
Hair removal for women has long been dictated by their clothing.
Ergo, when the flapper dress made its debut in the early 1900s, women suddenly needed to shave their underarms and lower legs.
