Suits that pop with loud colors and dazzling patterns, complete
with a nearly ubiquitous bowtie, define the style of the new
"dandy." Described as "high-styled rebels" by author Shantrelle P.
Lewis, black men with a penchant for color and refined fashion,
both new and vintage, have gained popular attention in recent
years, influencing mainstream fashion. But black dandyism itself is
not new; originating in Enlightenment England's slave culture, it
has continued for generations in black cultures around the world.
Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, this iteration of
dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and
fashionable. Dandy Lion presents and celebrates individual dandy
personalities, designers and tailors, movements and events that
define contemporary dandyism. Throughout the book, self-expression
is communicated through personal style, clothing, shoes, hats, and
swagger. Lewis's carefully curated selection of contemporary
photographs surveys the movement across the globe in spectacular
form, with all of the vibrant patterns, electrifying colors, and
fanciful poses of this brilliant style subculture.
