Logo for Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Men of Fashion - The Stuart Kings - The Crisis in Fashion

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen tells the story of dandyism and male peacockery through the ages. Men's clothing at the court of Charles I, sumptuously portrayed in the paintings of van Dyck, radiated confidence. Yet also written in the clothes were all the tensions of the age.
