The 19th century dandy has fascinated the world of fashion for years. Their meticulous attention to details, their commitment to styling outfits and their emphasis on presenting meaning through appearance has influenced men's fashion for years. A modern incarnation of the dandy is seen in the label Saint Augustine Academy. Behind this label are the creative and business minds of Alvin Manalo and Adrian Amores. The label encompasses a blend of punk, goth and indie rock underlined with romantic undertones through exquisite tailoring. Each season produces garments that are minimalistic in nature, but contain intricate detailing, expressing the romanticism of the 19th century dandy and the elements of the modern world.
Here are a few pics from their latest collection: Autumn/Winter 2010 The lamentations of Euchrid the Mute
