About This Book
From America to
Africa to Asia, dandyism is a way of life. It is fashion in the best
sense, self-esteem through style. And, in every country, it takes a
unique form as dandies draw on the local context and fashion culture
to shape their looks. We are Dandy throws open the doors of the
wardrobe and explores the dandy as a global phenomenon. With texts as
witty as the subjects are stylish, the book pokes between the folds
to let us know these exceptional individuals. For them, their dandy
fashion is more than a trend or a phase—it is who they are, the
outer expression of their inner selves. Photographs and profiles
paired with clever histories reveal what it takes to look your best
around the world. We are Dandy unfolds with a foreword by the
illustrious Dita Von Teese that conveys the authenticity of these
aesthetes, their passions, and their bravely curated philosophies.
Nathaniel „Natty“
Adams has been involved with the historical and contemporary Dandy
phenomenon for many years —it even informs his own wardrobe. A
research grant aided the studied journalist in traveling around the
world and into the eclectic homes of various Dandies.
New York is more
than the current home of filmmaker and photographer, Rose Callahan;
the city is also the site and start of her involvement with the
Dandy. In 2008, she created the blog The Dandy Portraits, where she
documents the many facets of the modern gentleman. Shortly
afterwards, she met Natty Adams and the idea for I am Dandy was born
