Celebrating 250 years of male self-expression, investigating the
portraiture and wardrobe of the fashionable British man The style
of the dandy is elegant but bold-dedicated to the perfection of
taste. This meticulously choreographed look has a vibrant history;
the legacy of Beau Brummell, the original dandy of Regency England,
can be traced in the clothing of urban dandies today. Dandy Style
celebrates 250 years of male self-expression, investigating the
portraiture and wardrobe of the fashionable British man. Combining
fashion, art, and photography, the historic and the contemporary,
the provocative and the respectable, it considers key themes in the
development of male style and identity, including elegance,
uniformity, and spectacle. Various types of dandy are represented
by iconic figures such as Oscar Wilde, Edward VIII as Prince of
Wales, and Gilbert & George. They appear alongside the seminal
designs of Vivienne Westwood, Ozwald Boateng, and Alexander
McQueen; and portraits by Thomas Gainsborough and David Hockney.
