Men, machos and masters - these are people woman meet, admire, resent, struggle with, and ocasionally even fal in love with during an entire lifetime. Surely they are worth at least one issue of Vogue! For, at the end of the day, they are indirectly responsible for some rather dramatic events in the world of fashion. Coco Chanel, Jil Sander, Helmut Lang and Hedi Slimane have proved that looking faminine does not necessarily entail stilletos and decollete ending somewhere around the navel. The stimulus for this sross-dressing revolution is clear as day: many women like to adorn shirts, vests and even army boots as trophies of their victory over men, reminding all and sundry of who came out on top in the battle of the sexes.

but men are starting to get their own back on the fashion front, even attacking the holies of the holies of wimen's attire.Despite their myriad faults and foibles, life would not be the same without men, nor would woman's fashion. This month's Vogue depicts men through the eyes of women who love them.
