Featuring a staggering range of cultural touchstones from Hercules to Virgil Abloh, Giovanni Battista Moroni to Jawaharlal Nehru, Yves Saint Laurent to Kehinde Wiley, Fashioning Masculinities challenges our preconceptions, revealing the fascinating historical roots beneath the power, artistry and diversity of masculine attire and appearance today.

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.
