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!
Deborah
