摘要：This paper explores the relationship between fashion and identity construction in relation to a social category of woman in 1920’s Paris known as the “modem woman” as well as Parisian lesbian subculture of the same era. Concentrating on the behaviours, values and clothing associated with each group, as well as their discursive interaction and interpretation, the paper argues that each group employed clothing to construct identity through which they contested gender and sexual norms and aspired to social change. Fashion designers and artists of the time are considered, as well as theorists of various competing notions of identity.
