This volume presents a collection of the most recent knowledge on the relationship between gender and fashion in historical and contemporary contexts. Through fourteen essays divided into three segments - how dress creates, disrupts and transcends gender - the chapters investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion. Crossing Gender Boundaries first examines how clothing has been, and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender division that has come to permeate Western and westernized cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it, focusing on unisex and genderless clothing.

The essays consider how fashion can both constrict and free gender expression, explore the ways dress and gender are products of one other and illuminate the construction of gender through social norms. Readers will find that through analysis of the relationship between gender and fashion, they gain a better understanding of the world around them.

Andrew Reilly is professor at the University of Hawai'I at Mānoa, where he teaches courses related to behavioral aspects of fashion and dress. His research and books examine the intersections of gender and sexuality and post-postmodernism in dress. He is founder and editor of the journal Critical Studies in Men's Fashion, also published by Intellect. Ben Barry is associate professor of equity, diversity, and inclusion at the School of Fashion and director of the Centre for Fashion Diversity & Social Change at Ryerson University. His research explores gender inequalities and transformations through dress, with a focus on the men and masculinities at the intersections of queer, disabled, and fat embodiments.
