Briefs: Fashion industry expects swaps to jolt sales

Fashion industry insiders are seeing a grass roots increase in sales they believe is connected with swaps.

"Since so many men seem to become women, many of them buy entirely new wardrobes," said retailer Marta Spector, "Unisex-style clothes are in particular on the rise. These new women want to feel masculine, but remain comfortable and confident."

"In particular," says Spector, "We'll be seeing a focus on bras designed for comfort, even bust-minimization, formal apparel, and certainly footwear. Most men can't handle heels, and we wouldn't force that on them."

Laughs Spector, "They already have enough being forced on them."
