Porter looks at the Bloomsbury group through their clothes – their creativity, pacifism, relationships, sexuality. This new book by the author of What Artists Wear and former fashion critic at the FT accompanies this autumn’s exhibition exploring the same themes at Charleston’s new outpost in Lewes.
