Beautifully androgynous: thin & fragile neck, small chin, broad cheekbones, large eyes…those lips.
I just spent a good 3-5 minutes just looking at this man’s gorgeous face.
Only after that point did I realize that he’s wearing blue and yellow. Clothes? I didn’t realize they would be at issue up to that point.
A sartorialist in the true sense – very particular about those details of collar and hairline, suave. Your portraits of women rarely show this kind of approach, where there is a sense of clothing tradition, sharply interpreted. Mc Queen understood it brilliantly in his collections for both sexes.
oh joy! i have the same skin color and used to have the same haircut and color (but that was probably when this young ‘un was in preschool. )
that hair was a lot of work and a lot of fun!
Love the androgyny. And I say “the” because I honestly cannot tell whether I’m looking at a girl or a boy. I blame it on the lips! I especially love them. Again, love the androgyny.
COME OOOOOOOOOOOON. This is a brazillian PIVETE. In the shanty towns of Rio de Janeiro every boy with darker skin turns blonde. You just… CAN’T think this is beautiful.
@ Lynx–And why shouldn’t we find someone beautiful just because he & his look are associated in your mind with “shanty towns” and people you clearly look down upon? Classism is neither cute nor smart, and it certainly isn’t sophisticated. It’s just offensive.
