Recenzii
Clearly the product of long hours in the archives, Dominic Janes' Freak to Chic offers a rich array of queer images and texts from the popular press of the first half of the twentieth century to document the creative variety of non-normative embodiments of sex and gender in an era before now-accepted identity labels.
[A] unique intervention in the study of queer culture.
From Oscar Wilde and Cecil Beaton to flourishing inter- and post-war queer cultures, Janes takes his reader through a fascinating and endlessly glamorous story of the freakishly chic manifestations that have helped to galvanize and vilify queer identity. Somewhere between the beautiful and the ugly, the respectable and the profane, the book offers keen insights into the elusive and radical potential of queer style.
This lavishly illustrated book is a sophisticated and entertaining account of the Twenties interface between camp, fashion, identity politics, and flowers, featuring some of the era's most orchidaceous personalities.
