{"product_id":"9781597113892","title":"Dandy Lion : The Black Dandy and Street Style by Shantrelle P. Lewis","description":"Suits that pop with loud colors and dazzling patterns, complete with a nearly  ubiquitous bowtie, define the style of the new \"dandy.\" Described as \"high-styled  rebels\" by author Shantrelle P. Lewis, black men with a penchant for color and  refined fashion, both new and vintage, have gained popular attention in recent years,  influencing mainstream fashion. But black dandyism itself is not new; originating  in Enlightenment England's slave culture, it has continued for generations in  black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture,  this iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and  fashionable.  Dandy Lion  presents and celebrates individual dandy personalities,  designers and tailors, movements and events that define contemporary dandyism.  Throughout the book, self-expression is communicated through personal  style, clothing, shoes, hats, and swagger. Lewis's carefully curated selection of  contemporary photographs surveys the movement across the globe in spectacular  form, with all of the vibrant patterns, electrifying colors, and fanciful poses of this  brilliant style subculture.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304987799925,"sku":"9781597113892","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781597113892.jpg?v=1762796653","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781597113892","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
