T's Feb. 18 Women's Fashion Issue

Highlights

  1. Judy Chicago, the Godmother

    For decades, the feminist artist was pushed to the sidelines. Relevant once again, she can no longer be ignored.

  4. Couture for Artists, Dead and Alive

    Is including a female artist’s wardrobe in surveys and retrospectives an act of condescension … or a recognition that an artist’s style is inseparable from her art?

     By Thessaly La Force

    Duro Olowu for Lynette Yiadom-Boakye <br /><br />Though there were a number of artists Olowu considered for this assignment, he was ultimately moved to create something for the painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, whom Olowu describes as being “an artist who has reinvented the idea of figurative painting in contemporary art. She is also an inspiring example to artists of color and women artists of her generation, more than anyone I can think of.” Her portraits, with their soft brushstrokes and rich colors, are simultaneously realistic and fantastical, and have established a new vernacular of black selfhood in painting. <br /><br />The designer, who is friends with Yiadom-Boakye, admires her willingness “to attack a canvas,” no matter how nicely she’s dressed. He wanted to give a woman who so understands the symbolism of beauty a uniform that evoked a sense of utility as well — an ocher-colored double-breasted woven denim jacket with deep trouser pockets where he imagined “her brushes sticking out.”

  3. The Power of Wearing Flowers

    The impulse to adorn ourselves with flora is as old as civilization itself. Here, three floral artists offer new takes on the most atavistic — and enduring — of traditions.

  4. The Return of the Artistic Company

    Why has this generation of stage, television and cinematic impresarios found new resonance in the troupe, an old form of communalism?
