The aim of this essay is to question whether fashion is the sole means of expressing gender. Using a semiotic and synchronic approach, I identify and challenge the preferred ideologies of gender within society, in the attempt to examine why gender must be separated according to sex, and in turn why fashion must also be separated according to this biological binary opposition, causing each gender to have its own unique dress code.
