There was a documentary on NHK yesterday about a kilt maker in Edinburgh who also designed kilts for women.
I thought the kilt approach to have men wear skirt was very interesting, especially since the "kilt for women" emphasizes the fact that those skirts are really for men.
The guy plans to open a shop in NY and Tokyo. And I'll sure get one when the Tokyo shop opens...
