Writer John Walsh explores the male desire to stand out in all manner of attire, in all eras. It is the 1720s and we encounter Richard Nash, known to all as Beau Nash, a 'committed hedonist and contrarian'. Then there's Oscar Wilde. And we learn about the difference between 'dandyism' and 'flamboyance', before the author's own look is examined again. Producer Duncan Minshull.
