There is no such thing as "non-binary fashion" that can be designed at schools. People dress "non-binary" by feeding of the gender binary and gendered stereotypes. It is a aesthetic that represents individual perception of the self that cannot be captured in profit driven design.

Ultimately, Pückler's ideas extend beyond gardens. The principles discussed touch on universal concepts of design, aesthetics, and how to craft meaningful experiences in many creative fields. #DesignTheory 6/6

A well-balanced design is like watching waves roll onto a beach—effortlessly drawing you in, allowing your mind to wander while still holding your focus. Soft fascination in visual form. 🌊✨ #GraphicDesign #DesignTheory

“There are only two genders” – Trump emphasized a rigid gender binary central to far-right ideology. In Queer Masculinities in Design (DESIGNABILITIES), I explore this concept and propose queer, fluid, and inclusive designs of masculinities to challenge such notions. #design #designtheory
