For Caroline Stevenson, head of cultural and historical studies at the London College of Fashion, Reed succeeds: "Harris Reed's aesthetic speaks to the limiting boundaries of society's binary gender roles," she tells BBC Culture.

The non-binary experience is one of self-determination, rather than fitting into society's expectations of what a male or female should be."
