The paper examines the key ideas surrounding academic discussion of gender and sexuality in fashion. The work of Craik and Tseelon on fashion images is considered analysing the value of each image as a symbol of gender and sexuality. Different fashion styles are examined including skate wear, gothic fashion, fetish fashion, and 'freefall' fashion. Conclusions are made about the change in attitudes towards gender and sexuality that challenge the boundaries of what is acceptable.
