Summary/Abstract: The subject of dandyism has fascinated many writers and researchers who have tried to investigate, to understand and to define the concept, according to their own vision and times. Distance allows a different vision than closeness. Those who live the phenomenon have the advantage of the immediate connection to the source and circumstances, those who approach it over the ages, have the necessary detachment for a calculated analysis. The attitude towards dandyism has changed with the passing of time and the shifts in society, with the transformation of values and standards. The distance of the phenomenon does not awake resentments anymore, but its magical attraction preserves adulation untouched.
