FASHIONING MACULINITIES: THE ART OF MENSWEAR

At a moment of unprecedented creativity in men’s fashion and reflection on gender, this thought-provoking, richly illustrated book explores how designers, tailors, photographers and artists - and their clients and sitters - have constructed, unpicked and performed masculinity. From the naked male body through richly embellished fabrics, shimmering textiles, voluminous cloaks, bulging codpieces and highly polished armour, to the three-piece tailored garment that has come to epitomize masculine attire.
