What Artists Wear

Britsih Fashion Journalist Charlie Porter has contributed to The Times, Esquire, GQ, I-D, Fantastic Man Magazine etc etc.  Last year he wrote What Artists Wear, in which  he takes us on an invigorating, eye-opening journey through the iconic outfits worn by artists, in the studio, on stage, at work, at home, and at play,   

From Klein’s spotless tailoring to the kaleidoscopic costumes of Yayoi Kusama and Cindy Sherman; from Andy Warhol‘s signature denim to Charlotte Prodger’s casualwear, Porter’s roving eye picks out the magical, revealing details in the clothes he encounters, weaving together a new way of understanding artists, and of dressing ourselves.

Here are a few of Queerguru’s favorites:-
