Lesbian Styles in Cinema

Assesses the role of lesbian dress style in constructing lesbian characters on film.
While there are a great many books on the Hollywood star system and its costuming, and a number of books on queer cinema, the role of lesbian dress styles in constructing lesbian characters has yet to be the subject of a discrete, detailed book study. ???????Lesbian Styles in Cinema examines how dress constructs lesbian characters as a form of representation and visual communication in film. By focusing on a set of independent and studio films that highlight lesbian dress practices, from Leontine Segan's Madchen in Uniform (1931) and other lesbian classics such as Donna Dietch's Desert Hearts (1985) to the Wachowski sisters Bound (1996) and Rose Glass' Love Lies Bleeding (2024), this book unpacks the role of sartorial codes in producing narratives of lesbian subjectivities, representation and desire.
