Nigerian-born artist, aesthete and aRude magazine publisher Iké Udé (above) is one of the last of the old-school dandies - old school as in Oscar Wilde and Baudelaire. His new book, Style File: The World's Most Elegantly Dressed, is a compendium of extraordinarily-attired people, but it shouldn't be confused with just another Best Dressed list.
