The British man and the designers who design for him stepped into the international style limelight when the ‘noughties’ were proclaimed the decade of British tailoring.
With the shifting dress codes of the contemporary Englishman, the dandy was a figure that many designers alighted upon to express the nature of modern masculinity. Fusing classical principles with contemporary sensibilities, this book celebrates the return of the well-dressed man with a fashion handbook and treasure trove of ideas tailored to the contemporary male.
Each thematic section features a specially commissioned 16-page fashion shoot by a rising star of fashion photography and eight pages of bespoke inspiration, instruction, interviews and insight. A reference section has a tailor’s glossary and contact information. Whether your taste runs to the classic or the modern, the English dandy sets the pattern for the twenty-first-century male.
