Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Men of Fashion

Charles II - Fashion Restored?

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen tells the story of dandyism and male peacockery through the ages. The restoration of Charles II seems to signal a return to the old sartorial order. But alarm bells over 'unpatriotic' French fashions prompt the style that will become the 'three-piece suit', and the court begins to lose its grip on men's fashion. A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4.
