"From the 1970's onwards, and particularly since the 1980's predominant fashion designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood have explored the persistemce of gender coding conventions and stereotypes through their designs. In most contexts nonconformity to gender roles through dress tends to signal lack of social conformity in a broader sense."
