Dissecting the dandy



This is the very well chosen name of the latest Nordiska Museet exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden. Conceived by the design studio Form Us With Love, the exhibition literally dissects the dandy, presenting "his" parts separately. Each module explores a different part of the body: the head, the legs, the feet and so on. Yet it´s not the body parts that matter, but how dandies throughout history cover them, giving the public and exquisite choice of jackets, hats, waistcoats, shoes, cases, etc. It´s a simply clever exhibition and a well deserved homage to the art of dressing properly. A must see until next May.
