Now the Fashion and Style Writer for Vogue, he is\u003cbr\u003eworking to change that--because clothes are never just clothes. Men's heels are a statement of pride in the face of LGTBQ+ discrimination, while ribbon shirts honor Indigenous ancestors and keep culture alive. Allaire takes the reader through boldly designed chapters to discuss additional topics like cosplay, make up, hijabs, and hair, probing the connections between fashion and history, culture, politics, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristian Allaire\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Ojibwe writer who grew up on the Nipissing First Nation reserve in Ontario, Canada.
