The dandies of yore wore immaculate three-piece suits and vests; 'New Dandies' by Brice Hardelin presents a modern version of the well-dressed man. Waistcoats and top hats are replaced by police caps, face chains and flowered shoulder baubles. The effect is at once masculine and androgynous with a high-fashion flare.
We've seen a variety of face and body chains in the past few months; I like the warrior take used in 'New Dandies' by Brice Hardelin.
