Like the shoes on the kid in the top photo, but otherwise he looks like a throwback golf caddy.
I like the hat on the man in the lower photo. However, his shoes need shining. I really don't care where he visited (Florida, London??) and I hope that the rolled trouser trend dies except for snow and rain storms.
I lived in Japan many years ago, the focus for shoes and socks I think stems from a young age- the only area for individual expression, as all schools require a uniform.
I remember incredible socks available for purchase, nothing even close to what was available in north america.
Awesome, so playful. I love that even though the first guys outfit is totally mismatched that the shoes and shirt still go together. I like the clashing prints and fun socks. The second look is nice too, the pants look so comfy.
Love how they're rocking the socks and shoes! Another good fashion blog is http://www.tinavenue26.wordpress.com I've found some cool creative stuff on there.
I'm so excited that you've finally decided to travel to Tokyo, Sart! When I first started reading your blog a few years ago – one of the first thoughts that came to mind was how great this kind of fashion documentation would be in Asia. I was excited to see Australia, but I'm definitely looking forward to the work that you'll do in Japan. All these men have such a unique approaches to fashion — I especially love the "I <3 London" socks on the second man in this photo. Although it may be considered kitsch in places like Milan or Paris — I feel like things like that work in Asian cultures… and they pull it off well.
BIG FAN OF THE CHOICE IN HEAD WEAR IN BOTH PICZ, AND THEY BOTH SHARE A PASSION FORCLASSIC PAIR SHOEZ. THE REST IZ LEFT UP TO IMAGINATION AND INTERPETATION OF STYLE.
Japanese people are absolutely amazing in their sense of style. Their art culture, type of figure and dark hair allows 'em mix styles as far as their fantasy can be and it looks stunning.
They take european design or fashionand bring it up to perfection in each detail -that's what i think the Japanese fashion is. Thanks for your pictures!!
Loving the first pair of shoes, and I know my husband would too. I'll add them to myShoebox app wishlist so I can remember the style for his next birthday!
Hmm, so did he steal the pants or was he just trying them on outside the shop to have a photograph taken so as to ask the opinion of an absent third party?
These photographs make me joyous. Love the rolled up pants, very eighties, and the shoes and use of accessories. Both of these young men are incredibly fashionable. Love it!
Yay!!! welcome to japan! one of my english students here told me about your blog, i've been following it! love seeing tokyo through your lens! thank you always for the inspiration, i think i am a little better put together because all the beautiful images i see here.

I am a huge fan of your work and I have been monitoring you blog ever since I found it 4 years ago maybe.

I always wished you would go to Tokyo while I was visiting and I could actually meet you in person. My days here in Japan are almost done, and the chances of you to come to my country would be even more scarce, so I guess I lost my chances. I hope however you will one day visit Indonesia, and if you do, please announce it on your blog. I will definitely try to come and wear my bestest outfit. In the hope that I too can somehow be forever captured in time with your camera.

I can immediately recognize the place you took this picture in -in Harajuku, besides the Ralph Lauren shop -. I am a huge fan of your work and I have been monitoring you blog ever since I found it 4 years ago maybe. Infact its become a ritual of me and myalso style forward boyfriend to visit your blog, and get inspired :).
I always wished you would go to Tokyo while I was visiting and I could actually meet you in person. My days here in Japan are almost done, and the chances of you to come to my country would be even more scarce, so I guess I lost my chances. I hope however you will one day visit Indonesia, and if you do, please announce it on your blog. I will definitely try to come and wear my bestest outfit. In the hope that I too can somehow be forever captured in time with your camera.
