The Gayest Looks From SS19

Fashion is getting gayer and gayer. I don’t mean designer wise — as obviously 75% of all fashion designers are gay themselves. I mean expression wise. Perhaps I should say fashion is getting more openly gay. From power clashing to queer superheroes to copious amounts of leopard print, there were almost too many gay things to count.

To save you time, I selected the gayest looks for your enjoyment.

 

Pink lipstick in a menswear show? YES.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s looks have been described as “sensual menswear” which “explores facets of gay sexuality.” (Dazed) Accurate.

Sonny Oram

Boston-based multidisciplinary artist Sonny Oram is the founder of Qwear, a leading voice in the queer fashion movement for more than 15 years, and the author of the foreword to Queer and Trans Fashion Brands: Resistance and Revolution in the 21st Century (Bloomsbury Academic, 2025). His work has been featured in HuffPost, BuzzFeed, Design*Sponge, and QTYPE Magazine and he's spoken on panels at MIT, South by Southwest, and Simmons Nursing School.

His earliest published work was created at age ten: a series of collages made from cut-up magazines, accompanied by original text exploring themes of gender, cultural conditioning, predatory advertising, and media objectification. In 2025, images of these collages were published in Queer and Trans Fashion Brands: Resistance and Revolution (Bloomsbury Press) and the Fashion, Style & Popular Culture journal.

Through Qwear, Sonny has launched influential campaigns, including the award-winning #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike with Yasmin Benoit, and continues to create spaces for underrepresented communities across internet and print media. He has also used search engine optimization (SEO) to increase the visibility and diversity of queer representation in online search results, helping terms such as “androgynous style,” “bisexual style,” and “asexual” reflect a broader range of identities and experiences.
