True to form, when we speak over Zoom, Porter is wearing a delightfully Frankensteinian knit held together by safety pins, crafted by the up-and-coming London designer Jawara Alleyne. Porter regards himself as “quite a mess, usually,” but yes, he admits to having put some thought into his look this morning.

At any rate, this image is far more correct as a basis for imagining the historical Jesus than the adaptations of the Byzantine Jesus that have become standard: he's short-haired and with a slight beard, and he's wearing a short tunic, with short sleeves, and a himation.

Wearing something that fits too tight, or is way too big, will make it seem like you are trying too hard and may not necessarily look on you the way it does on someone else. While some – Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Joseph Beuys included – receive dedicated chapters, it is not due to any perceived superiority as seen by the author. In 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.

Even before performance art has a name, it’s very often just female artists, or Black artists, trying to find a space for themselves, because there was no space for them in the commercial galleries at that time. The book careers through almost every facet of modern clothing, from sportswear to denim, workwear to luxury fashion. Brightly colored skinny jeans are coming to the forefront of the fashion scene along with leather leggings and creased shorts. These tunics would often have coloured bands running from the shoulder to the hem and could be woven as one piece.

From fashion hip hop dance pants to the tighter fitting crop pant combined with a pair of heels, you’ll find that there are more choices in sweats than ever before.

Reading as a costume designer and performance artist, at points I wished the author, Charlie Porter, made a greater distinction between an artist wearing fashion or costume. Part 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.
