Like antifashion, which opposes and challenges fashion, Beyer argues that antigender fashion seeks to dismantle and confront binary gender signifiers. After tracing the history of gender-blurring fashion from Marlene Dietrich's androgynous tailoring to Alessandro Michele's floral Gucci suits, case studies of four high-profile fashion brands reveal the diverse approaches to gender-fluidity in contemporary fashion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInvestigating each case study through multiple theoretical perspectives - from gender studies to gothic horror, cyborg theory to Afrofuturism - Beyer situates antigender fashion in a rich theoretical landscape and illuminates exciting new critical directions for students and researchers. Can antigender fashion influence the construction of contemporary masculinities and femininities - and can it be a catalyst for change? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
