Over the years, fashion has been widely influenced by queer culture. Taking a look back at some of the most influential designers of the past century, many of them were gay; from Yves Saint Laurent to Christian Dior to Cristóbal Balenciaga. However, during their lifetimes, they were forced to be closeted due to societal oppression. Finally making waves in the ’80s, fashion icons including Rudi Gernreich, Willi Smith, and Stephen Burrows began to introduce queer culture in their runway presentations and collections.
Similar to the ’80s, we are beginning to see a reemergence of queer culture in the fashion world today. Young fashion designers like Christopher John Rogers, Kelsey Randall, Patrick Church, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, and many more have been bringing queer visibility back into fashion throughout their collections, from casting to the garments themselves. These proud self-identifying LGBTQ+ designers are fostering a long-overdue modern community of queer acceptance in fashion that goes deeper than ad campaigns for one month out of the year.
