		Dandies become much more common in British society during the Regency period, during which the most famous dandy of them all, Beau Brummell, was an associate of Prince (and King) George IV; he was an early celebrity, famous chiefly for being a clothes-horse.

		In France the practice was known by the English word, as dandyisme.
