Throughout history, clothing has been a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing people to communicate their identity, status and creativity, and to challenge societal norms. From vibrant, flamboyant ensembles designed to attract attention to the subtle elegance of finely tailored suits, how we dress often reflects who we are, or who we aspire to be. Be it through the extravagant wigs and lace of European courts, the theatrical makeup and attire of kabuki actors in Japan, or the floral   and ornamental trends of modern subcultures, dress has been not just a means of expressing individuality but also a marker of class, status or societal roles. In celebration of the 350th anniversary of the birth of Richard 'Beau' Nash, the 18th-century dandy and fashion influencer of his time, we explore four items that embody the spirit of dressing not just to impress but to express. This is part of our 'Four things to see' series, which offers you a new way in to some of the world's greatest collections, sponsored by Bloomberg Connects: the free arts and culture app.
