Nørgaard is a Danish fashion designer who has been designing men fashion since 1986. He’s designs are considered almost universally masculine.The two participants discuss the developments in what is considered masculine. How masculinity is presented in culture and fashion today looks a lot different than it did for earlier generations and male identity is presented in a lot of different shapes and forms compared to earlier.The talk is moderated by journalist and TV presenter Adrian Lloyd Hughes.
