Gay men's style : fashion, dress and sexuality in the 21st century
Cole, Shaun2023
Books
Through an astonishing series of interviews, 'Gay Men's Style' will take you on a dizzying journey through shops, bars, clubs, gyms, workplaces and global city streets. Based on the lived experience of gay men of all ages from the UK, USA, Europe, Australia and Japan, Shaun Cole calls for a more nuanced understanding of gay male dress and style. Gay male identities in the 21st century are increasingly intersectional, fluid and flexible, from hyper-masculinity and muscularity seen in clubs and on the pages of gay magazines to self-knowing drag culture and androgynous gender play in the fashion industry. The book explores these multiple identities and the ways in which gay men self-identify and present themselves to the world through dress.
