After tumultuous centuries of shifting men’s style, the message of the V&A’s mammoth new exhibition, Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Menswear, seems simple: the future of menswear is genderless.
The exhibition, four years in the making, has seen co-curators Claire Wilcox and Rosalind McKever scavenge through viral moments, contemporary runway collections, and the V&A’s 100,000 garment-strong collection to bring together 100 outfits and 100 artworks to unpick the history of (Western, mostly) men’s dress and point in which direction we are headed today.
