EMPOWERMENT 1. To give faculties or abilities to enable; 2. To promote the self-actualization or influence of:
Neil Grotzinger's collections for Nihl subvert gender stereotypes, embracing an aesthetic that the designer has described as "masculine effeminacy:' Grotzinger reclaims traditional symbols of masculinity, such as jockstraps and wrestling singlets, to promote an alternative queer message. This jumpsuit sheaths the figure in a sheer layer of transparent white net punctuated by seams that form the spectral imprint of a fitted vest and low-slung, hip-hugging trousers flared below the knees.
