Abstract
In this article, I observe how the writer Oscar Wilde and the luxury couturier Dener Pamplona de Abreu used clothes, appearances, and photographs to create disruptive images in terms of fashion and masculinity in the different contexts in which they lived, using for this, both do-it-yourself (DIY) approaches and especially bricolage. I also note the importance of photography in the transmission of images and for the constitution of the image of Wilde as an esthete and Dener as a luxury couturier, also highlighting how such appearance and behaviors contributed to the understanding of both as deviant from the norm, generating punishments. In addition, I address the importance of the DIY culture in the history of gay fashion and culture.
