It seems to me that this guy’s photo is featured here is because he’s some celebrity. If he’d been some normal guy walking down the street The Sartorialist wouldn’t even blinked an eye at him.
I think this is fantastic picture — seems so full of brooding energy. Yes I like fashion and dissecting your subject’s style, but photos like this one are what elevate this site.
This is how you do vintage!! Perfect hair and jeans to go with the vintage knit. You could have said this was 1979 London and I would have believed you.
I love the simplicity of a great jumper & jeans. His jeans are perfectly matched too, the perfect shade to bring out the beautiful rusty maroon of his jumper. Style doesn’t necessarily have to be clean cut.
My friends and I have a saying for a hair style like this: “slut bangs”. Don’t ask me how or why, just enjoy how it rolls off the tongue. I do like the shirt, though
Beautiful picture – lovely color. And I believe it’s right across from the Bleeker St. playground – that funny semi-corner with the deli right next to it. And there’s that little ‘indent’ in the building right there.
I spent many hours at that playground with my daughter…
the knit hangs on him so slightly yet fits perfect a great piece and great color..i think if it were a different color would not make such a rich impact for such a simple piece.
I agree with Lamere – the beauty of this guy’s pale skin against that dark ruby-coloured maroon makes him worthy of a snap. He’s chosen colours so beautifully for who he is.
There is something very attractive about a man who knows his palette.
he is a star, dammit! at least among us, his friends, and i cant believe someone else mentioned Vincent Gallo… only our guy is sexier. he always manages to look so amazingly and effortlessly cool. not to mention he is the guy who wears blue jeans best! SonnyT.;)
never in my life have i seen a more stunning vintage look than here. this beautiful man looks exquistite in these autumnal colours. his pale cast skin and fitted jeans are amazing when paired with that burgundy knit. the chest exposure is divine. he is an inspiration to us all!
Actually not a celebrity (yet!) – I used to date this handsome man in high school. But he’s definitely got fantastic style, so I’m not surprised to see him featured here…

Large expanse of pale skin, lank, sandy hair, burgundy/garnet-ish knit: all very nice.

i hated you for saying that.
no scarf, please. it’s not that hot anymore. Everybody is rocking the scarf, it’s not original.
I’m glad he’s just…simple. The scarf would’ve made him butt-ugly and a ‘wannabe’.

Sartorialist, just wondering- do you ask your subjects to pose a certain way, or do you leave it up to them without any suggestion? Thanks
