VAN DYCK TO BACON TO TODAY: A Fashion History of Cavaliers, Mad Men, and Cross Dressers
23 ABR. 2020 · Men’s apparel is often thought of as staid and restrained, especially when compared to women’s fashions.

The portraits presented here celebrate menswear, an inexhaustible source of beauty and innovation.
