Internationally renowned street-style photographer Giuseppe Santamaria, UTS Fashion graduate Gina Snodgrass, Dr Masafumi Monden, Research Fellow in the School of Design at UTS, and Timothy Nicol-Ford, SCCI Fashion Programme Manager, to reflect on the future of menswear. In an age of globalisation and the homogenisation of aesthetics and culture, how does ‘masculine’ clothing express individuality?

The panel will delve deep into how this evolving form of cultural expression is manifesting in the 21st century.
