In January 2011, Jean Paul Gaultier`s haute couture runway show ended with the image of a willowy blonde bride in a diaphanous gown. The bride was a man, & one of the first models to walk for both men`s & women`s collections. The event marked the start of a trend. ” This ad is gender neutral, ” proclaimed a 2016 poster for the fashion brand Diesel; ”I resist definitions, ” announced a Calvin Klein ad in the same year, while a Louis Vuitton shoot featured Jaden Smith wearing a skirt. The art of Edward Burne-Jones & Gustave Moreau, the writings of Oscar Wilde, & the mystic Josephin Peladan prove that the turn of the previous century was as compelled by androgyny as this one.

Patrick Mauries presents a cultural history of androgyny--accompanied by a striking selection of more than 120 images, from nineteenth-century painting to contemporary fashion photography--drawing on the worlds of art & literature to give us a deeper understanding of the strange but timeless human drive to escape from defined categories. ...
