Liberated Threads: Stories of Black Style: Aperture No. 259

Exploring fashion and style as a political language and tool of resistance in the African diaspora.

Aperture's Summer issue highlights image makers around the world who are exploring style and fashion as a language of Black resistance, refusal, and joy. Guest edited by the writer and researcher Tanisha C. Ford and titled after her 2015 book, Liberated Threads, this edition features photographers, stylists, and filmmakers who remix, reimagine, and in some cases, reject the aesthetic and politics of what she calls the "soul style" of the twentieth century--sparking a bold conversation about style's ability to create possibilities for solidarity and selfhood today.
