New catwalk trend – men in dresses!

When I saw the picture I had to do a double take because I couldn’t believe the model that closed the Elise Overland show in a gorgeous black sequined dress was actually a male model.

Martin Cohn is a male model who is causing a stir during New York Fashion Week for his gender-bending appearance on the Elise Overland catwalk, modeling a skin-tight sequined dress paired with sky high heels. Cohn wore his pair sleekly pulled back and appeared to be modeling a fake pair of breasts.

The six-foot male model has androgynous features – soft eyes, pouty lips, strong cheekbones –and a graceful demeanor that often confuses fashion insiders as to his gender.

Elise Overland got her start designing clothes for Steven Tyler and always has plenty of rock star feel infused into her collections.
