OSCAR WILDE
The elegance and refinement, which the dandy flaunts in clothing and lifestyle, become in the figure of Wilde signs of the intellectual superiority of a poet who looks at the world with ironic detachment.
Dandyism is the symptom of a rebellion that does not accept to bow to the morality of the Victorian age; a denial that, through the search for scattered fragments of a lost beauty, cries out to the empty formalisms of society its desire for freedom.

Dandyism is a behavior that has spread since the 19th century, it consists in an ostentation of elegance of manners and in dressing, characterized by forms of exasperated individualism, ironic detachment from reality and rejection of lifestyle bourgeois. Dandies were those who lived surrounded by art and beauty.
The last decades of the nineteenth century witnessed an ascent of art as a privileged form of knowledge. The beauty of the world, hidden under appearances and everyday materiality, shines again through artistic creation, becoming at the same time its object and regulating principle. The esthete is the one who pursues the "beauty" as the aim and absolute value of a cultural action that aims to redeem reality from its abjection, to make it in the original enchantment of a lost past.
