When single-gender collections become dual-gendered (women)

[Pink Jazz]

Does anyone know notable examples of single-gender collections becoming dual-gendered?

I know with Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren was originally for men only while Lauren by Ralph Lauren was originally for women only, but now both collections are dual-gendered, with Lauren by Ralph Lauren being positioned above Chaps but below Polo Ralph Lauren in the overall brand hierarchy.

Does anyone know other examples of single-gender collections becoming dual-gendered?

If you are built like a man you can fit into men's clothes. If you are built like a woman, you can fit into women's clothes. I am a woman built like a woman so why would I buy men's clothes and spend money tailoring to fit me?


I have a few tops and pants from Lauren by Ralph Lauren which I bought about five years ago that fit me perfectly so I hope they haven't ruined the brand now

I think you misunderstood the thread. Both Lauren and Polo make products for both men and women separately, I don't mean unisex products. Lauren used to only make women's clothes and Polo used to only make men's clothes.
