The Philosophy of Dress
"The Philosophy of Dress" is an essay by Oscar Wilde that appeared in ''The New-York Tribune'' in 1885.〔(New-York tribune., April 19, 1885. )〕 The essay remained unknown to scholarship until 2012 when it was rediscovered and published for the first time in book form by Wilde historian John Cooper in (''Oscar Wilde On Dress'' ) (CSM Press, 2013), making it the only previously unknown work that Wilde intended for publication to have been released since he died in 1900.
The essay is Wilde's treatise on Victorian Dress Reform and its relationship to art in which he expands on his public lecture entitled ''Dress'', which was one of several lectures given in Great Britain and Ireland between 1883 and 1888.〔For UK lectures see ''Oscar Wilde: A Vagabond with a Mission'', Geoff Dibb, Oscar Wilde Society, 2013〕 A significance of ''The Philosophy of Dress'' is that Wilde's only previously published prose works had been a handful of short reviews and letters that appeared in journals or newspapers. With this essay Wilde announced himself as a commercial writer: it was the first work by him prepared as a composition for specific and separate publication, and it is the only piece of his journalism (out of over 150 examples) that was copyrighted.〔John Stokes and Mark Turner, Editors: ''The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Volume VII: Journalism II'', Oxford University Press〕
In the essay is the first occurrence in print of Wilde's quotation: ''"A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!"''〔(Oscar Wilde In America/Quotations. )〕
