520 1 $a"Long before tabloids and television, Beau Brummell was the first person famous for being famous, the male socialite of his time, the first metrosexual - 200 years before the word was conceived. His name was synonymous with wit, profligacy, fine tailoring and fashion. A style pundit, Brummell was singly responsible for changing forever the way men dress - inventing, in effect, the suit." "Biographer Ian Kelly unlocks the glittering, turbulent world of late-eighteenth/early-nineteenth century London - the first truly modern metropolis: venal, fashion-and-celebrity obsessed, self-centered and self-doubting - through the life of one of its greatest heroes and most tragic victims." "Through love letters, historical records and poems, Kelly reveals the man inside the suit, unlocking the scandalous behavior of London's high society while illuminating Brummell's enigmatic life in the West End."--BOOK JACKET.
