Abstract
- If the proliferation of men's-wear blogs and dapper new clothing lines are any indication, the boys are beginning to preen again. But the real peacock of fashion has always been the dandy. Though Beau Brummell would get his cravat in a knot at the idea being the poster boy for male frippery - he actually advocated a restrained, gentlemanly glamour - he has become the poster boy for flamboyant dressing and a life devoted to aesthetics. It is to this perception of Beau and Co. that a whimsical new book, ''Four Famous Dandies,'' pays tribute, albeit in paper-doll form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
