Adore this outfit, it’s sleek, retro, and modern all at once. His side part is adorable, I also love the fit of his jacket and the pin (if that’s what it is). Detest the cig though.
VERY stylish. I love side-parted hair for some reason and i CANNOT rave enough about the jacket. The guy himself looks really young, and if I just saw his face, I would think he’s in high school, which i guess is a good thing (I’m in high school, too)…
I can’t believe nobody commented on the pockets on the suit. They make the suit have that modern/retro edge. Love the pin although its not the first time he’s done this kilt pin on a suit.
Very sharp. I really like the contrast between his youthful face and the professional outfit, haricut and portfolio. And the safety pin injects some youth and fun into the outfit so that he doesn’t look either too severe for his age or like he’s wearing Daddy’s suit.
In the props to Sart on the photo portion of the comment, I love how he’s standing in conversation with the girl, but he’s looking a little warily at the camera. Also great how her muted color palette compliments his muted color palette. And the overall gray tones of your outdoor shots today are great (although they make me shiver a little in sympathy with the cold).
Good to see Gustav get another look in on the blog. He’s got a special talent in style, and it shows here (though the brief case is a bit ordinary). The jacket reminds me of vintage YSL.
That’s no ordinary safety pin, by the way — it’s a Raf Simons brooch.
Nothing bold except for the safety pin…and still…its perfect…. he popped out from that cruel intentions movie…. and the hair… sooo JAMES DEAN…zexyyy…the gals vest is awesome…
love the safety pin. down with the carry all though, too passé, too “am going to the bank to check on my account”. cigarette gives the naughty guy touch to this otherwise clean-faced “I’m just soo perfect” Nordic man (who never withers) nico
So sick of swedes even though im one myself.. tired of the perfection and the grey colours.. but yeah he do look good.. but looks just like every other swede.
I agree, he does look like every other Swede, but I appreciate it anyway. Oh to be back in Sverge. And as much as I love the hair, this would look great with a hat. I can spot a Swede a hundred yards away if he's wearing a hat.
I don't know what the etiquette is on old posts… is there a moratorium on commenting? I was cruising the archives looking for something I wanted to revisit (so many of your images leave a long-lasting impression) and I don't know how I missed this. I grew up in the 90's so the pin says "grunge" to me… it's a little touch of punk, like the hair. Borderline. Love it. Hmmm… he'd be legal now. :)
