Lesbians, in turn, are integral to the history of fashion. The way that we dress can help us to present who we are to the world, or it can help us to hide ourselves. It can align us with a community or make us stand out from the crowd. For lesbians, fashion can have innumerable meanings - yet \"lesbian fashion\" is rarely considered, the main association between lesbians and their clothes being of un -fashionability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Unsuitable , Eleanor Medhurst explores the history of lesbian fashion, a field that has been overwhelmingly ignored within both fashion and queer histories. Unsuitable uncovers the relationships between lesbians and their clothes as well as their fashionable details, from top hats to violet tiaras. It spans centuries and Anne Lister of nineteenth century Yorkshire and \"Paris Lesbos\" of the 1920s, butch\/femme bar culture of the 1950s and lesbian activists in the '80s. It celebrates Black lesbian histories, trans lesbian histories, and histories of gender-nonconformity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe lesbian past is slippery; it has often deliberately been hidden, altered or left unrecorded.
