The group's prolific producer carves his own path and, simultaneously, goes with the flow.

&ldquo;Actually, I have no thoughts these days,&rdquo; SUGA, BTS&rsquo; prolific producer, says with a laugh in his L&rsquo;Officiel Philippines interview. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s true. I&rsquo;m too busy, and I try not to think about identity. If you obsess about it, you end up worrying too much. I think it&rsquo;s perfectly fine to go with the flow, rather than constantly striving and struggling all the time.&rdquo;
Identity. It&rsquo;s a big word, even in an industry as ever-changing as fashion. As if to punctuate his words, for his cover shoot, SUGA donned a pleated black skirt &mdash; a piece from Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s Spring/Summer 2022 menswear collection that, though structurally simple and subtle, whispers a challenge to mainstream fashion&rsquo;s gendered norms.

A number of brands concurred for the season, signaling a greater movement in the right direction. Burberry and Prada sent micro-skorts down their runways, while floor-grazing tunics starred at Fendi, GMBH, and Rick Owens.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
