Beau Brummell - the Original Fashionista

Beau Brummell - June 7, 1778 - March 30, 1840

Beau Brummell who ruled the conventions of British society in the 1800s would spend an entire day dressing for a royal ball.

So obsessed was he with couture that he hired three people to fashion his gloves alone: one would work on the palms, another on the fingers, and a third worked on the thumb!
