Bring No Clothes: Bloomsbury and the Philosophy of Fashion by Charlie Porter Pap

Description: Bring No Clothes by Charlie Porter Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An anarchic, intimate, lushly illustrated look at the clothes and lives of the Bloomsbury GroupWhy do we wear what we wear? To answer this question, we must go back and unlock the wardrobes of the early twentieth century, when fashion as we know it was born.In Bring No Clothes, acclaimed fashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to face with six members of the Bloomsbury Group-the collective of creatives and thinkers who were in the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Each of them offers fresh insight into the constraints and possibilities of fashion today- from the stifling repression of E. M. Forsters top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bells wayward hems; from the sheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrells lavish dresses to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia Woolfs orange stockings; from Duncan Grants liberated play with nudity to John Maynard Keyness power play in the traditional suit. As Porter carefully unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool for patriarchal control.As he travels through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers new evidence about his subjects, revealing them in a thrillingly intimate, vivid new light. And, as he begins making his own clothing, his own perspective on fashion-and on life-starts to change. In the end, he shows, we should all bring no clothes, embracing not just a new way with fashion but a new philosophy of living-one which activates the connections between the way we dress and the way we think, act and love.
