“The idea behind this fashion week is an investigation about “Manness”. The age of feminism has restructured and displaced the idea of Man, manliness and masculinity. Do we already observe the emergence of a post feminist neo - masculinity? The stereotyping of macho or toxic or chauvinist has evolved into a new phase where biologically defined, socially constructed gender role of cis man has become much more independent”, says Bose.
 
“After the DNA testing has started proving the fatherhood, the primordial family structure and the ownership of feminine body to define the property right has become redundant. The marriage has no more needed to exist to ensure the acquisitive aspect of consumerist capitalism defined by bloodline. After decriminalisation of homosexuality in india, Indian men has been liberated from the shackles of mono sexuality or its performance of which there is no original. Does a Man exist anymore or the lexicographic elaboration is awaiting the obfuscation of the M – word”, he adds.
