At a moment of unprecedented creativity in men’s fashion, and continuing reflections on gender, contemporary designers are questioning established forms, seeking to liberate wearers from traditional models of masculine dress.

This book combines fashion with artistic and broader cultural histories–looking at the designers, tailors and artists who have constructed and performed masculinity from the Renaissance to the present day. It traces connections across and beyond European menswear, celebrating both rich traditions and daring individualists.

Divided into three parts, Undressed reveals the role of the body and underwear in fashioning masculinities. Overdressed explores the power dynamics of sartorial bravado, while Redressed deconstructs a modern masculine uniform: the black suit.

Fashioning Masculinities challenges our preconceptions about menswear, revealing the fascinating historical roots beneath the power, artistry and diversity of masculine attire and appearance today.

男装时尚正经历着一个创造力和性别反思空前高涨的时期。当代设计师正在质疑既定的形式，寻求将男装从传统的男性服装模式中解放出来。

本书将追溯文艺复兴至今，结合时尚与艺术等文化历史，探索构建和表演男性气质的设计师、裁缝和艺术家。本书追溯了欧洲男装之间的联系，赞美了丰富的传统和大胆的个人主义者。

本书分为三个部分，宽衣解带（Undressed）部分探索了男性的身体和内衣在塑造男性气质方面的作用。锦衣绣裳（Overdressed）部分带领参观者走进男性的精英衣橱，而新装革履（Redressed）部分则探索了现代男性的制服：黑色西装。

《男性时尚》挑战了我们对男装的成见，揭示了今天男性服饰和外观的力量、艺术性和多样性之下的迷人的历史根源。
