The word "dandy" still retains an inexplicable shade of mysterious charm, and the dandies themselves are seen by us as eccentric aesthetes, creators of brilliant whims. But who can be called a modern dandy? How did the modern canon of masculine elegance come about? Why did the dandy take the turtles for a walk? You will learn about these serious and sometimes funny things by reading the book by Olga Weinstein "Dandy". Among the main characters of the book are the famous British dandy George Brummell, the French dandy Comte d'Orsay, Barbet D'Oreville and Charles Baudelaire, the decadents Oscar Wilde and Comte Robert de Montesquieu. European dandyism appears for the first time as a distinct cultural tradition, which implies not only a fashionable costume, but also an everyday lifestyle, refined demeanor, special body techniques and secret charisma. The book details English clubs and gentlemen's pranks, urban flanking and "optical duels", social receptions and virtual aristocracy. A special section is devoted to the history of Russian dandyism and domestic dudes.
