Combining aubergine nails, an over-sized seamstress’ pin, a cigarette and that youthful hair seems to make the purse just seem like a naturally included accessory.
I am very impressed with how synergistic this whole ensemble ends up appearing.
he’s very sweet looking. i like the little detail of the saftey pin as a badge and the earring when the rest of his outfit’s so simple. that second photo is gorgeous.
This photo with the mix of androgony and timelessness makes me think of a Twilight Vampire. i love the very dark blue with black and the bare skin – the V neck, throat and gloveless hands. It’s interesting.
these pics from Stockholm are awesome! I already knew they are very stylish people, and it is a pleasure being able to see them from your point of view. love boys with black nail polish.
Ah, so this might be a girl! More androgyny – love it! This person has the most beautiful face, head and neck. The haircut is also pretty damn hot. Love the whole thing – a truly stunning individual.
I was waiting for the inevitable “should the gender matter” comment.
It doesn’t matter, and it does, because we want to classify things in nature this way. Don’t read so much into a benign–and utterly acceptable–question.
I think his creativity is superior. The ability to make the used coat his with the touch of kilt pin sets him apart. The hair and nails, while nice, only show his fashion sense- but the wearing the coat alone shows he has an eye.
The thing I love best about the nails is that they are perfectly manicured. He’s committed fully to them. And how gorgeous that purple looks against his pale, pale skin.
what else is there to say? i echo everyone else here who finds his vibe to be captivating, sexy, & beautiful. i love everything about this! and i must get my hands on that new chanel color vendetta…i have a thing for dark nail color.
so many pictures with cigarettes now. totally understand that that’s a part of life in europe–lived there for a year myself, but i remember when you used to write little disclaimers about cigs when they were included in the pictures….
I personally love when guys wear nail polish and assume that kind of androgyn behaviour, and the colour he chose is awsome, and he wears it better than I do. Love the coat and that huge pin. Love his pale & cold hands.
I just can not understand why the people who post comments here have trouble recognizing men and women. Then they try to pass off anyone that isn’t wearing a push up bra or has a bread as “androgynous”. Its weird and irritating. He is not androgynous. HE is a guy. A HE!!!!! Everyone can see this. Stop pretending that it isn’t obvious.
