He makes us see a subject we thought we knew so well from a completely different angle; in writing that is deeply researched, but inviting, warm, and full of personality' Katy Hessel 'Charlie Porter is a magician' Olivia LaingWhy do we wear what we wear? To answer this question, we must go back and unlock the wardrobes of the early twentieth century, when fashion as we know it was born. In Bring No Clothes, acclaimed fashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to face with six members of the Bloomsbury Group, the collective of artists and thinkers who were in the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Each of them offers fresh insight into the constraints and possibilities of fashion today: from the stifling repression of E. M. Forster's top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bell's wayward hems; from the sheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrell's lavish dresses to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia Woolf's orange stockings. As Porter carefully unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool for patriarchal control. Travelling through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers fresh evidence about his subjects, revealing them in a thrillingly intimate, vivid new light. And, as he is inspired to begin making his own clothing, his perspective on fashion - and on life - starts to change. In the end, he shows, we should all 'bring no clothes,' embracing a new philosophy of living: one which activates the connections between the way we dress and the way we think, act and love.

Very moisterizing
the Mau Island secret after sun tan is very moisturizing and it prevented peeling after a deep island tan. My skin does look dewy and smooth. I did not however find the scent as lasting or even as strong as I would have liked in an after sun lotion, its rather light, still a nice scent. I found it a little pricey in comparison to Hawaiian tropic or others.

Love this product
This product has been the best. A small amount goes a very long way. You don’t feel greasy after just moisturized. To me, it doesn’t really smell like anything. it’s not overpowering or noticeable after it’s rubbed in. I definitely will recommend and continue to buy.

I tan pretty easily. I tan outside during the summer time ...
I tan pretty easily. I tan outside during the summer time and the winter i go to a nearby tanning salon to keep my tan going. I dont know why certain people say that this product smes like coffee, but it does not smell like coffee to me. It smells like paradise on beach. like thr tropics. and I love the smell. I also love the fact that within 1 use of this , i got a darker deeper tan . took me to the next level. noticed a huge differrence in my tan. I love this tanning lotion. and as far as people saying that its too oily, well, it is oily, but that honestly doesnt bother me one bit. this is by far the best tanning lotion i have ever bought. if u want to get a good tan thats natural. this is the stuff to get.

Best lotion for sunburned skin
After a vacation in Hawaii, I thought I’d never get to have this lotion again. I saved the bottle from 15 years ago, just as a memory. On a whim, I looked on amazon and here is was!! The best after sun lotion ever!!! Sun burns don’t hurt on the second day. Keeps burned skin moist and flake free. Peeling is minimal if you use the lotion daily. I still use it, even though my summer tan has been established. Smells like my vacation all over again!
