George Bryan "Beau" Brummell (1778-1840) was a fastidious dresser who popularized the "Dandy" look. He is often credited as the father of the modern-day suit. According to The Times Online, he is "the most important figure in British fashion history."

He was once quoted as saying, "I have no talents other than to dress; my genius is in the wearing of clothes."

  • I didn't realize that at the time, but now that I've re-watched yours, it does. It is pretty cool.

  • @caballeroiberico Just as James Purefoy is THE man now. Oh yes he is!!

  • For the advice of the french fellow:

    Kinks = Mods = proletarian Dandyism.

  • pour l ' "Arbiter" ..( Mais l'on ne dit pas "Arbiter Elegantiarum" ? ) :selon moi il s'agit d'une clip qui peut etre utilisée pour deux chansons des(INIMITABLES)

    Kinks,c'est à dire "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" - un tipo fanaticamente dedito a seguire la moda - et "Dandy" .La musique , c'est quand meme très ironique , telle que toutes les "lyrics" de Ray Davies et le "Dandysme" dont tu parle c'est la meme chose du "Kinksisme" vale a dire la stravaganza .Ciao dal Colonnello Olrik

  • looks fantastic, but the song doesn't really fit with the character...

  • i love this song. it so matches with the character.... i love Beau Brummel!!!

  • James is so handsome and dashing.

  • They seek him here..they seek him there. He's here and there and everywhere.

  • Euh, qu'il est Beau!

    Or something like that.

  • Why does 0:24 remind me of The Sims 2? :)

    I love this song, it just screams Beau Brummell all over it! Great editing

  • I hate that man D:
