Gentle Reader -
Before we get another collection and fashion magazine spread about men in kilts/skirts, why have we not seriously considered draping in menswear?
Before Savile Row begins to e-mail me (I imagine it would be a gently worded reproach), yes, as a term, draping is integral to menswear. But draping in this regard is more about the way cloth hangs close, but ultimately away, from the body.
What is suggested in this post is closer to the flou of couture: the artful arrangement of fabric such that it animates when worn.
Perhaps Western men's fashion is not yet ready, but as this is the 21st Century, isn't it about time?
The statue above is carved from wood, and much older than the initial conception of the suit. You might have already guessed an Eastern influence.

There's a fashion collection of men wearing skirts and now draping? Forgive me but I am not fond of looking at men wearing either skirts or drape-like inspired clothing. I don't think there would be a lot of patronising the collection.
