Whereas others chased conference and thoroughly curated designer moments, Keaton at all times constructed a uniform from rise up: a crisp shirt right here, a person’s waistcoat there, trousers pooling simply so on the ankle, and, after all, a hat perched at a understanding tilt. On the subject of the distinction between sporting your garments and letting your garments put on you, Keaton stays the blueprint.
Keaton, who handed away at 79 on October 11, leaves behind not solely a physique of labor that reshaped the trendy romantic comedy but in addition a visible legacy that rewrote the foundations of what it meant to be fully comfortable in a single’s personal pores and skin. Lengthy earlier than “private type” turned some extent of existential neurosis, she understood the facility of consistency.
