Drag is transformation, communication, and, above all, exaggeration, where gender non-conformity is the plat du jour. This fearless book observes this increasingly complex world by exploring drag's journey – from the surprising to the sophisticated, to the utterly bizarre – through the 20th century and up to the present day.
Simon Doonan is a former drag queen, fashion industry veteran and current Creative Ambassador for Barneys New York. With witty text and dazzling photography, corralled into thematic chapters, this is the first flamboyant and poignant survey of drag culture. Drag is not just for fabulous queens and drag enthusiasts, but for anyone interested in gender fluidity and the culture surrounding it.
