Anyone else thinking Lady Gaga Bad Romance right now? Seriously I applaud him for one the glasses are fantastically Willy Wonka-esque and wearing all white is always an achievement in my book. All in all nice photo.
Mr. Koh's daily uniform of all white is always interesting but I must say I am more of a fan of his Hermès Bicycle. No wonder he has such a thick bike chain haha.
Terrence Koh is just so great! + the whole head to toe white dressing thing is so profound and full of meaning! He is just such a fantastic individual…
there is another guy in the lower east side (an elderly white fellow) whose schtick is to wear all white clothes too (hat, shirt, pants, shoes) that he seems to assemble himself. he is to be seen walking in the park about a block from where this was taken. it would have been great if he walked by and said to terence, "that's my gimmick"- but at least the other fellow doesn't have the goofy glasses. and why doesn't terence go all the way , get a white bike and paint his face white too? art joker!!
Terence Koh! Always in white, and always sparkling clean. Whether he's Canadian-American or not (he was actually born in China), he does dress Gaga a lot when she's in Japan. He helped her with her famous pearl outfit(all white)for amfAR in New York and performed with her at GagaKoh(also in all white)in Japan. He's also been spotted with her in new york at the MOMA Exibit.

Coming from a Chinese background, I've got to say that another Asian guy dressed head to toe in white just makes me think someone has died.
White is the color of mourning and death in Chinese cultures.
So, no, the guy doesn't look good dressed like that.
