Fluid

A bold, visually driven history of gender-fluid fashion, Fluid traces the evolution of style beyond the binary-from the flamboyant self-expression of glam rock icons to the groundbreaking designers redefining fashion today. Led by influential designer Harris Reed, this richly illustrated volume explores how clothing has long served as a powerful tool for identity, rebellion, and transformation. Blending cultural history with contemporary design, the book highlights the figures and movements that challenged traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity, pushing fashion into new territory. At the heart of the book is Reed's own work, worn by cultural icons including Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé, each look contributing to a wider shift in how fashion communicates identity. Through behind-the-scenes insights, archival references, and striking photography, Fluid reveals the creative process behind garments that challenge convention and spark conversation. From theatrically dressed rock stars who blurred gender boundaries on stage to modern creatives shaping global runways, Fluid situates today's conversation within a broader historical arc of experimentation and self-expression. Gender-fluid fashion emerges here not as a trend, but as an ongoing, evolving dialogue within culture and style. With its mix of fashion history, cultural commentary, and high-impact imagery, Fluid is designed to be both an immersive read and a compelling coffee table book. Perfect for readers interested in fashion, identity, and contemporary culture, it offers a powerful look at how style continues to shape-and reflect-the way we understand gender today.
