A sartorially splendid start to Sunday courtesy of the American, post-modern portraitist Barkley L. Hendricks—one of British fashion designer Duro Olowu’s greatest influences. As Olowu himself explains in Elephant Issue 46: “The precise nature of the clothing in Hendricks’ paintings is mind boggling… The way a shirt is tucked in, or a skirt is draped… other artists don’t capture that. As a designer, I sketch and imagine clothes in a similar way. I always imagine how the fabric will twist and turn with the body.” Purchase the issue from Elephant Kiosk now to keep reading.
