A Long, Detailed Examination of What Artists Really Wear
A new book, Tony Evans/Timelapse Library Ltd.
What are you wearing right now? Why did you choose it? What does it say about you? These simple questions lie at the heart of a new book by writer and fashion critic Charlie Porter,
What Artists Wear: a fascinating exploration of the clothing worn by the rebels, rule breakers and outliers of the artistic world, and what it means to live in it.
Like its subject matter, the book itself defies convention within the glossy realm of large format hardbacks; it’s a Penguin publication so it’s paperback, of course. Small, pocket size, accessible, affordable. It’s super-approachable, says Porter. And I hope it encourages younger readers to discover these artists. Clothing, and talking about clothing, is a way in.
