A look at the world's most stylish men – in pictures

The Staley-Wise Gallery in New York is currently closed, but has plundered its archives to curate an online exhibition celebrating some of the world’s best-dressed men. Marlon Brando, David Hockney and Leigh Bowery are among the eclectic images in Men of Style, which can be viewed until 30 June
