Masculine elegance, so flamboyant and colorful up until the
end of the 18th century, became almost nonexistent in the 19th
century. From the frock coats of Gainsborough''s portraits to the
city workers'' two-piece suits, the structure of men''s clothes
evolved at a slow pace. But the language of this uniformity has
subtly varied in its details, in the cut, proportion or materials
of a piece of clothing. Though individually these different
elements are almost imperceptible, each makes a vital contribution
to the intangible notion of style. This book juxtaposes paintings
and photographs of movie stars, politicians, artists, or
lesser-known figures dating over almost two centuries, whose very
different silhouettes, when placed alongside one another,
encapsulate a certain idea of modern elegance and its concern with
style.
