The bride was a man, and one of the first models to walk for both men’s and women’s collections. The event marked the start of a trend. “\u003ci\u003eThis ad is gender neutral\u003c\/i\u003e,” proclaimed a 2016 poster for the fashion brand Diesel; “\u003ci\u003eI resist definitions\u003c\/i\u003e,” announced a Calvin Klein ad in the same year, while a Louis Vuitton shoot featured Jaden Smith wearing a skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe art of Edward Burne-Jones and Gustave Moreau, the writings of Oscar Wilde, and the mystic Joséphin Péladan prove that the turn of the previous century was as compelled by androgyny as this one. From the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, the genders have blended: from Berlin in the 1920s to Hollywood of the 1930s with Garbo and Dietrich; from the 1940s Bright Young Things to the androgynous pop stars of the 1970s, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatrick Mauriès 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 and literature to give us a deeper understanding of the strange but timeless human drive to escape from defined categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Mauriès\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and publisher of many notable titles on fashion and design, including \u003ci\u003eGoude: The Chanel Sketchbooks\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFornasetti: Designer of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe World According to Karl\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553863454881,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780500519356","price":71.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780500519356.jpg?v=1781746124","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/androgyne-hardcover-by-patrick-mauries","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
