Description

Queer Style Revised and Updated Edition by Adam Geczy and Vicki Karaminas is a comprehensive exploration of queer fashionability. This book examines the role that clothing plays in historical and contemporary lifestyles, focusing on subcultural dress within queer communities. Through its three-part structure, Queer Style delves into history, subcultural identity, and subcultural style, providing insight into diverse dress practices such as effeminate 'pansy,' masculine macho 'clone,' the 'lipstick' and 'butch' lesbian styles, and extreme styles of drag kings and drag queens. This book will be of particular interest to students of dress and fashion, as well as those studying subculture from a sociological or cultural studies perspective.
