This is a book with a difference - it puts male sexuality on the catwalk. It is an exuberantly designed and illustrated celebration of all those men through the ages who have dressed extravagantly in order to show their power, to express their masculinity, to set themselves apart from the conformist herd - or simply out of sheer joie de vivre.
Top fashion writer Colin McDowell charts his stylish and self-confident course, from medieval knights, with their brief jerkins and long, waved hair, through the padded and codpieced Elizabethans, the fops, incroyables, bucks, dandies and swells, right up to the aesthetes, zooties, mods, hippies and punks of the twentieth century.
The Man of Fashion- entertaining, informative and endlessly surprising - will prove to be an indispensable volume for historians and students, as well as for fashion enthuisasts - and a revelation to anyone who has ever thought that extravagance and affectation were confined to the female sex.
