He has performed with his jazz band all around the world and, as a vintage menswear savant,  he has consulted on events throughout the United States, including the fashion exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dandy’s look epitomizes the undeniable cool of the Jazz Age. He is an impeccably dressed man-about-town whose signature style has earned him features in outlets such as The Financial Times and Vogue magazine. Dandy’s appreciation for the swinging big bands, elegant parties, and beautifully tailored clothing of the 1920s and '30s makes him a certifiable Renaissance man and a true modern dandy.
