At the centre of the author’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and his work constantly disrupts the divide between men’s and women’s clothing. His pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé – and with each piece he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. This book examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of author’s design process, the book takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, reasoning that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender.
