  • Daniel Lismore's closet is probably a bit different than yours -- his clothes are constructed out of materials ranging from beer cans and plastic crystals to diamonds, royal silks and 2,000-year-old Roman rings. In this striking talk, Lismore shares the vision behind his elaborate ensembles and explores what it's like to live life as a work of art. "Everyone is capable of creating their own masterpiece," he says. "You should try it sometime."

    I was just thinking how his "being art" also affects the surrounding locations...Imagine being on a train...then imagine him riding in the car with you. The experience is transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary. The trip gains color, personality, becomes more dynamic as people interact with his expressive art. The trip is now memorable....💚

      "Whey are who they are..". Are you sure that this is his real personality? I dont think so. Yes, good dresses can be creative but when you see this castle on around the body it seems that behind that is hiding poor child who are scared to show his real beauty or even imperfection to the world and to himself. So from my point of view there is nothing about being brave

    I love how people say that the left is easily offended but they're in these comments (Yes, I know who you are, this is a public place after all) being offended by what he's wearing. Even calling him a narcissist? Sounds like self-projection to me. And FYI, I am not a leftist nor a rightist. I am an independent.
