Doctoral grant in fashion and gender studies at the University of Antwerp

For the project ‘Queering Masculinities: The Antwerp Fashion Scene’, we 
seek a PhD student to investigate the role of Belgian men’s fashion in 
the redefinition of masculinities. We want to study how the creative 
practices of a cohort of designers from the ‘Antwerp fashion scene’ made 
an impact beyond the world of fashion, by presenting alternative 
versions of masculinity. In order to do this, we will analyze their 
collections, using archival research, visual analysis and interviews.
