About me















Thank you for visiting my blog!  I'm Deborah Parker and teach Italian art and literature at a university.  I’ve wanted to create a project around the creative dress of artists for a while.  While the dress of fashion designers and their clients has received much attention, the self-styling of artists has not. My interest in this subject goes beyond identifying a few dandies. I see this topic as an antidote to the current obsession with the sashaying of actors down the red carpet.   Creative persons do not need stylists.

      I’ve used my research skills to comb through many sources to find lively comments about the dress of creative minds. My goal has been to present these “originals” in all their glory. I hope the citations will provoke a deeper engagement with the images and the achievements of the subjects themselves.

      Each post includes links to information about the person and sources of the quotes and images.  My own comments are noted at the end of the post.

     I welcome feedback!
