Queer Style

Queer Style has established itself as the ultimate reader for understanding the LGBTQIA community: there is no better text! While not forgetting historical context, it allows us to understand how fashion has played a key role for all of us - regardless of ethnicity, race and age. * Joseph H. Hancock, II, Drexel University, USA * Like queer style itself, Geczy and Karaminas' analysis is world-shaping, nuanced and alive. Their revised edition shows us that queer style is as political as ever, moving from a countercultural force to eradicating mainstream white cis-hetero dominance and the binaries that uphold it. Required reading for every student, educator and scholar who is part of the movement to orient fashion studies in social justice. * Ben Barry, Parsons School of Design, New York, USA * Moving from Brummell and Biggie to Winckelmann and Warhol, Queer Style is equal parts historical analysis and manifesto for the politics that have underpinned queer dressing since the 18th century. This revised volume is as important a resource for researchers and students today as when it was first published in 2013. * Nigel Lezama, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada *
