For this Pride Month episode, I invite you on a journey through queer wardrobes. From the underground to the runway, we explore how the LGBTQIA+ community has expressed itself through clothing.

You will discover:

The history and origins of queer culture
When did the first gender transgressions take place?
How clothing has served as secret codes, means of recognition, and identity affirmation
The influence of voguing balls, drag culture, and queer icons on fashion trends
The stylistic hijackings that become true power grabs
Queerwashing and rainbow capitalism
How current fashion draws on this heritage to propose new gender narratives

An episode where we talk about history, struggles, freedom... and style, of course.

This episode is available on all streaming platforms.
Cet épisode est également disponible en français.
