There was a time when men’s fashion was layered, symbolic, and intentional. Heels weren’t “feminine.” Rouge wasn’t “unmanly.” Velvet, lace, and gold signified power, not weakness. In this episode, we explore that forgotten part of history - when men burned bright in the courts and at war - and what it says about the way masculinity has been reshaped and restricted over time.
Because when French footballer Jules Koundé wore heels in 2024, the outrage was instant. But what are people really reacting to?
We talk fashion, power, control, and how patriarchy punishes everyone (not just women) who dares to step outside its rigid frame. Come for the history. Stay for the heels. 🔥
