(Who are today's dandies? Why do modern dandies hate suits...)
Who are today's dandies? Why do modern dandies hate suits and love attitude? Do dandies prefer ecstasy? Can women be dandies? Are you a dandy? When people began to take the Regency Dandy Beau Brummell seriously, modern fashion started. Now history has come full circle. Dandyism, once the preserve of male aristocrats can put on stle and be a modern George Brummell: rock stars, rappers, chat show hosts, film stars. But, writes George Walden in this scintillating essay, in these two hundred years it has not become any easier to be a genuine dandy. One only needs to read teh seminal essay on Brummell by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, he argues, to understand what is happening in the world of style today.
