Androgyne is an exploration of fashion and gender, focusing on ways gender lines have been blurred through garments long ago and in contemporary examples. Rather than focusing on the big designers and influencers, this book focuses on the humble products in your wardrobe. It is an exploration, through a queer lens, of high fashion as a site of gay cultural production and explores the aesthetic sensibilities and unconventional dress of LGBTQ people, especially since the 1950s.

In 760 pages of rich photography, this book gives a comprehensive review of Karl Lagerfeld's (1933-2019) collections during his time as Chanel's creative director.
