This volume presents a collection of the most recent knowledge on
the relationship between gender and fashion in historical and
contemporary contexts. Through fourteen essays divided into three
segments - how dress creates, disrupts and transcends gender - the
chapters investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion.
Crossing Gender Boundaries first examines how clothing has been,
and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender
division that has come to permeate Western and westernized
cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and
subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that
considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it,
focusing on unisex and genderless clothing. The essays consider how
fashion can both constrict and free gender expression, explore the
ways dress and gender are products of one other and illuminate the
construction of gender through social norms. Readers will find that
through analysis of the relationship between gender and fashion,
they gain a better understanding of the world around them.
