That layering all in black is quite interesting; he dresses like guys in film school do.
I like the role those roses play in such a tough and dramatic outfit: the fact that he is carrying them with such a serious expression makes me think of all the possible unobvious reasons for one to carry such a bouquet.
this pic is stunning. I love the look on his face, his posture, the black clothes, the rainy streets– all things melancholy — and then subtle burst of colorful joy sneaking out of his bag– oh this is winter!!!
I don’t really go for this type of look, but I think it achieves what it aims for really well. Skinny, short jeans, somewhat off kilter but nice hair, long jacket…it’s all of a Joy Division piece.
first to comment! :) i love the whole like layout. his all black outfit with the yellow roses with the orange fringe tint. beautiful… i love his coat too!
Does every kid in Paris look like a model? Black accented by roses! I *think* I can do this look except that I can never fit in those new skinny jeans. I like the shoes too.
Oh, Sart! How this photo captures such a duality! With the head-to-toe black and that expression and yet the contrasting roses in the bag. I don’t think you could have planned a more poignant photo. Bravo!
He must be a model. This shot looks like an Ad campaign for a fashio house, and wouldn’t said fashion house be lucky to have such a photo as their campaign. Gorgeous Sart, your genius is starting to overflow.
Good gods, man; this is genius. Every time I look at your blog, I feel lucky that we have this opportunity to see your work, and through it, the opportunity to see so many amazing people and memorable scenes.
The composition of this photo is breathtaking. The wall even compliments his hair, and the roses poking out are so charming. Truly one of my favourites.
This is the kind of guy who (possibly) got dressed in the morning, and didn’t really have the intention of being “stylist”, but still succeeded effortlessly. And the flowers…they definitely add.
Another great find, great look and great shot. It so makes me want to go back to Paris! They pay so much more attention to all of the details of their fashion.
this is a beautiful picture. I think everyone above has nailed it dead on. the black, sleek silhouette, and the sorrow, suttle emotion on his face, is really contrasted with humour with the flowers out of his bag. This man looks like a model you would see on a Dior Homme runway.
As always, lovely photograph of a beautiful person with a flawless style. It is interesting, however, to see this posted on the same day as the NY Times article on on the new silhouette for male models. Hopefully this trend will not have the same devastating results for male models as the demand for frailty among female models has.
wow. everything in this picture is sad and depressing except for the flowers. they’re happy.
this could be a great start of a romance comedy. a depress guy looking for love. he bought a banquet of flowers in hope of finding love. he walked around the streets and search for the perfect girl….at the end of the day before the flower dies he accidently saved a beautiful swedish girl’s life. he gave her the flower and she kissed him.
This look makes me happy. After seeing “Control” I wondered why more boys in the U.S. didn’t copy Ian Curtis’s style. You really have to have a brooding, beautiful face like this boy to pull it off, though.
I really like the dark clothing with the use of multiple colors such as the flowers. It’s an interesting concept to have flowers in the backpack. It shows that no matter how dark one can seem, they still have a heart and meaning on the inside.

Very intriguing. I wonder who he bought the flowers for. I like how he seems to have stuffed them almost absentmindedly into his bag.
