Daniel Lismore is a British fabric sculptor, designer, and campaigner. Described by Vogue Magazine as “England’s Most Eccentric Dresser” he is best known for his flamboyant dress sense serving as a form of statement, sculpture and even armor.

He lives his life as art by wearing elaborate and extravagant ensembles that combine haute couture with vintage fabrics, found objects, chainmail, ethnic jewelry, millinery, and more, in an expression of eccentric, creative energy. Inspired by art in all its forms – he has received comparisons to the Australian performance artist Leigh Bowery and Gilbert & George  history and his travels, Lismore constantly combines and amalgamates multiple inspirations from around the world into vibrant expressions of cultural appreciation.

In 2013, Lismore presented his first self-portrait exhibition at the Tate Modern followed by another show at the Tate Britain in 2014. Then in February 2022, His touring museum show ‘Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken’  (also the name of his memoir) debuted in the Uk in his hometown of Coventry City for the UK Capital of Culture at the Herbert Art Gallery And Museum. The show was opened by artists Gilbert & George, attracting over 35,000 attendees including Boy George, Oscar-Winning art director Tim Yip and Golda Rosheuvel.

He has had solo exhibitions around the globe, the latest of which is about to open at GIANT a new art center in Bournemouth Lismore’s birthplace
