Today we go back in time and look at a handsome style icon from a period much different than our own.
Count Robert De Montesquiou (1855-1921)
This fabulous style icon was a Dandy, Aesthete, and Sometimes A poet.
He modeled for Dumas' Musketeer. Robert had large control over both fashionable and literary circles. He wrote and wasn't quite received well in the written world, but all o the ladies from fashionable backgrounds came from all around to hear him read his poetry and see this dashing man. His dressing room was lavish to a t. Decorated with ornate floral painting along the walls and detailed crown molding of delicate hortensias cast in gold and bronze. His wardrobes were all very very large, grand and ornate. Each had a glass door for show casing all of his precious belongings. Especially his neck ties; of which he owned 100.
