Charlie Porter Books in Order

Porter examines the clothing artists wear at work, at home, and in public. Photographs and close observation reveal how garments express identity, resistance, and creativity, connecting figures from Yayoi Kusama to Andy Warhol with broader questions about personal freedom.

Porter explores the wardrobes of six Bloomsbury figures, including Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, and E. M. Forster. Their clothing reveals struggles over convention, creativity, and sexual freedom, prompting his own reconsideration of how dress shapes everyday life.

Still living in the flat he once shared with Jerry, Johnny looks back on nearly thirty years together after his partner's AIDS-related death. Memories of their relationship open into reflections on a queer community, grief, and the era that shaped their lives.
