Mark Bryan is a 61-year-old engineer from Germany who isn’t afraid to challenge gender stereotypes.
While high heels were initially intended for men to add height and fashion in the 10th century, they have obviously become associated almost exclusively with women.
Mark is one of many modern men who are reclaiming the popular type of shoe for those other than those of us who were born female.

The engineer believes that clothes should have no gender. He tends to lean towards skirts over dresses so that he can wear more traditionally “masculine” tops above the waist.
Fairly, he believes that items like skirts provide a wider range of variety than the typical slacks or pants most men wear to work.
