Throughout history, the peacock male has strutted through the pages of men's fashion. Top fashion writer Colin McDowell charts this self-confident course, from the medieval knights, with their lavish heraldic dress, through the stuffed and codpieced Elizabethans to the mods of the 20th century. Entertaining, informative, and endlessly surprising.
