anarchist fashion statements
I'm noticing a definite stylistic theme here:
So given this theme, can you spot the anarchist in Bruegel's famous painting "The Fight between Carnival and Lent"?

Here's where I think I've spotted him.

I have trouble picturing Murray Rothbard in a cape.
The anarchist should be walking away from the "joust," as your candidate is doing. "Your couple" is also occupying a central area of the canvas which should get a great deal of a viewer's focus.
I've used Bruegel's painting at my site for a while, as fitting the flavor I wanted for a section there. It is a favorite (non-Parrish) painting of mine.
I'd have no compunctions about wearing a cape for some occasions, if I had one, but I find I already get strange looks merely for wearing a hat that isn't a cap, even in the winter. That was the usual thing to do, as little as fifty years ago.
I think many people need to regain a sense of personal style rather than conforming to mass standards. I believe that is happening slowly but surely.
You can add another anarchist to your fashion collection: Zorro.
According to the Wikipedia entry, Zorro "fights for the Californio people against the corrupt tyranny of the Spanish governor, proving himself to be much too foxlike and cunning for the bumbling authorities to catch."
