Mark Bryan, a 61-year-old engineer from Germany, isn’t afraid to challenge traditional gender norms. Interestingly, high heels were originally designed for men in the 10th century to add height and fashion flair, yet today they are almost exclusively associated with women.
Mark is among the modern men redefining this stereotype by reclaiming high heels for broader use. As a father of three and a robotics engineer, he balances his time between work and family duties.
Looking at him, you might not guess he has a substantial social media following. Yet, this German native has recently captivated the Internet with his bold fashion choices and striking images.
Mark has amassed nearly 660,000 followers on Instagram, drawing attention with posts featuring heels, boots, and skirts. He often shares his own thoughts, advocating that his fashion choices are entirely normal.
Mark believes that clothes should be free of gender constraints. He prefers skirts over dresses, allowing him to pair them with traditionally “masculine” tops.
For Mark, skirts offer a broader range of options compared to the typical male wardrobe of slacks and pants.
