Mckever, Rosalind (Ed)

Includes bibliographical references and index. 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. 2022"
