Beau Brummell was the original Dandy Gent. Born in London in 1778; we can thank him for establishing men's dandyism and fashion mores. He helped popularize the subdued aesthetic that drives much of men's fashion, even today; understated, immaculately tailored and finished with personal details. For this we modern gentlemen are indebted to him...even if he did end up dying in France penniless and mad from strokes in 1840.
