Dandy: fashion, literature, lifestyle

The word "dandy" still retains the inexplicable shade of the mysterious charm, and the dandy themselves are seen by eccentric aesthetes, creators of brilliant quirks. But who can be called modern dandy? How did the modern canon of male elegance arise? Why was the dandy brought up to a walk of turtles? You will learn about these serious, and sometimes funny things by reading the book of Olga Weinstein "Dandy". Among the main characters of the book are the famous British dandy George Brahmmell, French dandy Count D"Ors, Barbe d"orevilia and Charles Baudler, decadents Oscar Wilde and Count Robert de Montesquieu. European dendism first appears as a distinct cultural tradition, implying not only a fashionable costume, but also a everyday lifestyle, an exquisite behavior manner, special body techniques and secret charisma. The book describes in detail about English clubs and gentlemanly draws, about urban flanification and "optical duels", about secular techniques and virtual aristocratism. A special section is dedicated to the history of Russian dendism and domestic stylags.
