Laurie Simmons: How to Dress Like an Artist

Host Jane Kaplowitz's speaks with artist and friend Laurie Simmons. The impetus for this discussion began when a male friend remarked that Simmons doesn't "dress like an artist." They consider what he could have meant by this, delineate a brief history of the relationship between the fashion world and the art world, talk about how fashion affects female artists as opposed to male ones and about what the role of fashion is in their lives and in creating the "image" - desired or not - of an artist (25 minutes).
