Dictator Chic
Since starting the LIFE Style series here on the site, I've highlighted some of the better dressed names out of that special set of Time-Life notable names. An era that's really coming to a close if you think about it. These are media properties past their prime, unfortunately, and the people they covered belong to certain passing age of celebrity. Now, one famous character that I've not touched on, but always intended to, is Colonel Muammar Qaddafi -- an all-timer in the annals of total weirdo style. A global icon of which style is a mere facet. That said, I could never find the perfect set of images. With Dictator Chic, Vanity Fair pays proper sartorial respects.
When the English writer and rake Jeffrey Bernard asked the painter Francis Bacon who in the world he would most like to bed, he replied, “I’d like to fuck the pants off Colonel Qaddafi.”
