Timothée Chalamet didn’t just wear a backless halter top on the red carpet; he erased the rulebook for men.

We interviewed three menswear designers about the “Chalamet effect” – sales of sheer tops for men are up 200% on Farfetch. The lesson for luxury labels: gender lines are dead. The new menswear hero is unafraid of a heel.
