Fluid

Influential designer Harris Reed explores the world of gender-defying fashion in this richly illustrated monograph.In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the centre of Reed's sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity's essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Reed's work constantly disrupts the divide between men's and women's clothing. Reed's pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyonce, and with each piece, he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris's design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, positing that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.
