Fashioning masculinities : the art of menswear /
Fashioning masculinities : the art of menswear /
edited by Rosalind McKever, Claire Wilcox with Marta Franceschini.
- 272 pages : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 31 cm
Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London from 19th March-9th November, 2022.
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 and performed masculinity and unpicked it at its seams. The book strips things back to consider the naked male body and the continued influence of the classical ideal: the Adonis - enthusiastically re-considered by successive generations from eighteenth century (Grand) tourists to Mapplethorpe, Calvin Klein and even Captain America.
