Summary

Parisian fashion designer Rick Owens caused a stir with his decision to have male models wear revealing clothing on the runway, which prompted discussions about the increasing prevalence of male nudity in films and fashion. The article ponders whether the trend is a sign of progress towards equal opportunity nudity or simply a symptom of our culture's desensitization to shock value.
