Special Issue: ‘Menswear in Performance’

This Special Issue of Critical Studies in Men’s Fashion (CSMF) focuses on an especially rich area of study, that of menswear in performance. The five contributions to this issue examine perspectives on performance across cultures and indeed across meanings. They range from the explicitly spectacular performing arts, to ways of performing and reifying ideas that pertain to gender, profession or class.
