But fashion design is highly competitive -- if certain designers aren't producing the clothes women want, they'd be out of business in a second. (That's one reason I'd never go into that business.)
This is a free country and I cannot believe any group (especially one as small as gay males) could make women buy something they don't want. So blaming (or crediting) gay males for women's fashion seems to me to be off base -- women mostly choose what they want, whether by themselves or in a committee. Am I wrong?
Personally I like women's fashions for the most part, and I admire someone who takes the time to look her best. But for me, weight control means a lot more than clothes, and I'm sorry to see so many women (at least in my area of the country) who are way overweight.
