This is celebrated in a new exhibition , " A History of Queer Fashion: in the closet of the bridge," which opened last week in New York. Three centuries of history through 100 odd clothes, it celebrates women and gay men , lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people who have contributed greatly to the world of fashion. And it is a fascinating story . We begin in the 18th Century , as " Molly " transvestite " macaroni " and " madness " would frequent the taverns of London, drinking and carousing all dressed in women's clothes . Around 1710 , "fats " appeared in ruffles, dictate silky dresses, aristocratic style and influence Vivienne Westwood , 250 years later. And on the other hand , women " mannish " would sport tailored suits and monocle 20thcenturies in the beginning of the end of the 19th Century and show their lesbian relationship . Then there was the "tells " that had every generation - codified signifiers to communicate clearly male or belief or sexual preferences of women. Red relations in the 1890s , suede shoes in the 1960s , has taken bands in the 1940s and the 1970s in Levi and ground closely in step . When Valerie Steele , Director and Chief Curator of the Museum at FIT , said the exhibition, fashion has , over the years , offered " a chance to create a different world , in response to a homophobic society.

It may not have been without half YSL Yves , Pierre Berge . And Sergio Galeotti was the lover and the inspiration of Giorgio Armani to his death. When sexuality is something not to be talked about is the fashion as a platform for self-expression that everyone , regardless of their persuasion, participate was in. As fashion editor Suzy Menkes wrote " homosexuality has been absorbed into the language of clothes," long before the gay pride parades in the 70s and long, long before talk gay marriage was still on the table . As an industry , fashion is one of the least imprisoned, and he continues to lead the conversation.
