What's you're favourite Composer 'look'? I like light slacks, white shirt with rolled up sleeves, like The Professor on 'Gilligan's Island'! Ready for business! And you?
As for outrageous? Try to find the pic of Roslavets! ouch!
Everyone seems to ignore the cool threads, including this one...
Hard to beat Ligeti in this category. This picture is framed in my music room, along with records of Bartok, Reich, and Gershwin.

Bartok

Man I really have to get me some threads!! Surely I would write some good stuff if I just wore the right clothes? Currently I'm wearing the uniform of the new world slave (jeans/t-shirt)--- this won't do, This Thread Has Changed My Life!! ;D

yEA, you know that's IT right there, aint it!! It's the Donald Erb look, too, but he also rocked the Elvis hair--- Ligeti simply goes for the AllTime Classic!!
Ffffffuuuuuuu.... where are you going to find a decent jj ??
i Definitely Vote Stockhausen the Worst Fashion Faux Pas... that semi sci-fi/totalitarian furturist look... IN TAN... no less. no No NOOOO!!! James- I expect you to back me up on this... wait... are you wearing one NOW??!!! ???
DOES ANYONE actually wear the style of their Favourite Composer?? I'm just going MAKE Bartok my favourite and go from there, haha!!
There's the cover of the Ralph Shapey CD on Arabesque where he's wearing a plaid shirt Mexican gang-style. Hilarious!
This is a fascinating and amusing, if ultimately, for me, a frustrating thread. One should be careful of exaggeration, but there was up through the 19th century - vestiges remain today - a language of clothing, one that spoke of the social class, taste and breeding and sometimes of the personality of its wearers. I wish we knew the language because it would make for some interesting discussion here. In this era of flip-flops and baseball caps it's something we can hardly believe much less understand and it's waaaay too late in the game for me to attempt to acquire this knowledge. But perhaps a fashion historian or a particularly ambitious music student might compile a catalog of composer's portraits and decode them for publication. Might also be interesting to see who dresses like whom - a consideration in formal portraiture.
Then there's the rat-tail and suspenders look... uh... Karl?? You there?

Agreed- if you wear flip-flops, you won't be writing my music!!... sandals???... can you imagine your Composer wearing Birkenstocks???? :o :o :o
IT'S STILL POLITICAL

My fluid mechanics professor this semester looks a lot like Ligeti, actually. I showed people various people in the MechE department the album cover and pretty much everyone thought the resemblance was very amusing.

I was at the library today browsing scores and I came across one for Stockhausen's
Kontra-Punkte. The inside cover had one of the most hideous pictures of him I've ever seen (taking up the whole page). I've always thought he looked pretty cool, but this was truly awful. God knows why Universal Edition chose to print it. I'll take a picture next time I'm there.
That being said, Ligeti has his share of unflattering pictures (check the Wikipedia one ???).
