Fashioning Masculinities

A visually stunning exploration of the impact of fashion on ideas of masculinity. In a time of unprecedented creativity in men's fashion and ongoing reflections on gender, contemporary designers are challenging established norms to liberate wearers from traditional models of masculine dress. This book delves into the intersection of fashion, art, and cultural history, examining how masculinity has been constructed and performed from the Renaissance to the present day. Divided into three parts—Undressed, Overdressed, and Redressed—it explores the role of the body, power dynamics, and the modern masculine uniform.
