“dapperQ Style: Ungendering Fashion” by Anita Dolce Vita explores what clothing means to LGBTQ people at a time when many states are restricting their expression.
,” said that as she was interviewing LGBTQ people about style, the narrative that fashion is a tool for political resistance “kept growing stronger and stronger as the far right continues to attack our identities and tries to erase us.
So far this year, lawmakers in at least 16 states have introduced legislation that would restrict drag performances in front of minors. Some of the bills, like onein March, doesn’t specifically name drag. Instead, Tennessee’s law — which was blocked by a judge shortly after Lee signed it — criminalizes “adult cabaret entertainment,” including “male or female impersonators,” on public property or in front of minors.
Vita’s book features interviews and photos of more than three dozen LGBTQ people, including style influencers, activists and artists, who talk about what queer style means to them, and it is split into three sections: visibility, belonging and liberation. For example, Van Bailey, a model who uses “they” and “he” pronouns and is featured in the section of the book dedicated to visibility, told Vita that “visual cues” help them find other queer people when they’re out and creates a sense of community.
“What I really loved about Lisa’s story was that her parents always supported her in the clothing that she wanted to wear, and that was just such a touching story to me and was such an example of how people can thrive if they don’t have to worry about being judged or bullied or harmed by their own families,” Vita said.
