Most of us live our lives in our clothes without realizing their power. But in the hands of artists, garments reveal themselves. They are pure tools of expression, storytelling, resistance and creativity: canvases on which to show who we really are.0In What Artists Wear, style luminary Charlie Porter 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 Yves 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.0Part love letter, part guide to chic, and featuring generous photographic spreads, What Artists Wear is both a manual and a manifesto, a radical, gleeful, inspiration to see the world anew-and find greater pleasure and possibility in the clothes we all wear.

The first artist considered is Louise Bourgeous, and some of the other artists examined include David Hockney, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keefe, Basquiat, Agnes Martin, Andy Warhol, and many, many more. Some of the contemporary artists were new to me, and I discovered a few whose work I really like, such as Yayoi Kusama.
The author organized the book into chapters titled, "Tailoring," "Workwear," "Denim," "Paint on Clothing," "Clothing in Art," "Fashion and Art," and "Casual."
I especially liked this quote from an artist I hadn't heard of before, Taboo!, "The number of times I walk out the door and they say what are you all dressed up for? My answer is, today. This could be the last day of my life and this is how I'm living." ( )
