S1 Ep 5 Albert Muzquiz on Beau Brummell

Albert Muzquiz, aka @edgyalbert, is a content creator, stylist, and fashion historian who produces popular and educational vintage clothing and style content on TikTok, Instagram and Youtube. 

 

The plaque he has chosen is at 4 Chesterfield Street, Mayfair, London and reads: "Beau Brummell, 1778-1840, Leader of Fashion lived here". We spoke about Brummell's turbulent relationship with the Prince of Wales, his habit of insulting his social superiors and what vintage jeans he might choose to wear if he lived today.
