No how to tie a four in hand for the ten thousandth time here - <em>I Am Dandy</em> explores the personalities, attitudes and motivations of the featured dandies themselves. Their individual styles range from the slightly non-conventional dress of Nick Foulkes and the Churchwell brothers to the not-for-every-taste look of Guy Hills and Hamish Bowles with 50 other men either in between or even further out depending on one's point of view (if I have one quibble with the selection it is that it tends towards the outré at the expense of the well dressed - but then shock is what sells). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In his introduction, Glenn O'Brien makes the point that there are only two reasons to wear clothes: to blend in or to stand out. Their approach may take different forms but all the men in <em>I Am Dandy</em> stand out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="feedflare">
