Note(s) : "Libertine practices have long been associated with transgression and social deviance.
This innovative book is the first to focus fully on the relationship between libertinism
as a social phenomenon and as a form of fashion. Taking the reader from early modernity
to the present day, Adam Geczy and Vicki Karaminas reveal how the connection between
clothing and the taboo, the erotic, and the forbidden is at the heart of "libertine
fashion". Moving from the decadent courts of Charles II and Louis XV to the catwalks
of the 21st century, Libertine Fashion examines literary and sartorial figures ranging
from the Marquis de Sade and Lord Byron to Oscar Wilde, Josephine Baker, Colette,
and Madonna. Focusing on libertinism as a sartorial practice and identity, this book
traces the genealogy of the concept through the proto feminists of the English Reformation,
the hedonistic decadents of the fin de sic̈le, and the Flappers of the Roaring 20s.
The historical arc traverses the 1970s era of punk and glam, the shapeshifting personae
of David Bowie, and the ?disciplinary regimes? of Jean-Paul Gaultier. Looking at libertine
practices and appearances with fresh eyes, this bracing and original book affords
many new insights into transgressive style, and of the relationship between sexuality
and clothing. Accessible and thoroughly researched, Libertine Fashion uses a multidisciplinary
approach that draws on historical literature, film, fashion, philosophy, and popular
culture. Offering a historical and philosophical grounding in contemporary forms of
identity and dress, it is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion,
gender, sexuality, and cultural studies."
