Simple Pleasures


Eccentrics, who have given the world so much fun with their idiosyncratic approach to life. Art, literature, fashion, film, interior design, graphic design, science and more all owe a huge debt to those who march to the beat of their own drum. (Photograph of Stephen Calloway by James Merrell)

P.S. Highly recommended supplementary reading: English Eccentrics by Edith Sitwell, a lovely read by someone who was herself a famous eccentric.

I adore eccentrics. But most of all I love intellectual eccentrics, those who don't wear it on their sleeve, but you get talking to them and it turns out they're mad and original and burning with it.
