I love the statue of the French soldier. Gotta love those pop up shops. I ran one once that sold Titanic merchandise. Not the movie, after the 1985 discovery.
Love the multiple textures, shades and layers. All surprisingly works so well together. It's as if he took the color of his mustache into consideration!
Perhaps I'm not so fashion to appreciate but there's something which doesn't match.. Too many different squares, too many colors, too much of everything. The best is the self confident face who wears the combination

Great shot, Sart. That's a wonderful shirt, but the rest of the ensemble is not to my liking. There's too much going on, a clash of patterns and colours. Love the haircut!
In general Mr. Bowles is a bit too eccentric for my taste. Funnily enough, in this photo he looks like (the American comedian) Jeff Foxworthy's more creative brother.
This is like couture; hardly anyone wears it but it gives a vision of what is possible. Personally, I find it overwhelming but admire the deft mix of pattern. Do love all the blues. (Yes, I recognize who he is.)
Hamish Bowles has KICK ASS STYLE that's for sure!!! His Paris apartment featured in "World of Interiors" this month displays the same flair he does in his dress. The mustache looks wonderful on him.
Wow, the combination of patterns works on him. Not sure it would work on anyone else! The Pierre Cardin trench must be vintage, he must have dug deep in his closet for it!
Is that suit Etro? When I saw it at the store, I thought it was a little too flashy, but my does Hamish quieten it down superbly. Anyone who can mix these patterns together without making you dizzy or want to lose your stomach is a genius, which, of course, our Mr Bowles is.
so so fabulous….i'd love to see the shoes….and for some reason I'm curious what color his undergarments are….I'm not being crass…it just popped into my head. He's had such a good time with the rest of it…
Sorry, but what dies it together are his tie, shirt and coat. The suit itself lends nothing more than an abominable shape and discreetly distasteful pattern. Seen w/o said additions, or in other combinations (or even w/o the coat) – his suit would be ridiculed at best.
It's really too much and overwhelming. I like the shirt, but with the tie and suit, it's too jarring at least for my taste. Also, he has a rather small face and the bulky suit overwhelms.
I was a fan, but now I'm in adoration, nobody does it like Hamish. This weekend I bought a suit of similiar pattern, but single breasted and with shorts (Dries Van Norten,) and I hope I do it as much justice…ROCK ON HAMISH.
The moustache isn't doing him any favors. As a matter of fact, it's really dating his look. Hammish, please lose he moustache, you'll look much, much better.
Honestly, if anybody younger than 40 would pull off such an outfit, I would definitely say that he "overpaced" and looks like a clown and I would hate it… but if men of a certain age come around with such a look it´s incredibly cool, because they incorporate a certain respectful aura!! Great look!
Too busy. Adding the tie was overkill. Just the shirt and suit with a solid tie would work. Just the suit and the tie with a solid shirt would work. The three together, though, look clownish.
Nice trench coat, but it isn't a key part of this gent's look.
wow! his face looks like the lovely face of one of my lovers, his profession was climbing mountains, now he`s dead, falling down. I bought your book for my sister as present for her 55. birthday. wonderful fotos- like here!
WOW!! He pulls it off.. Is that a vintage Pierre Cardin trench or a new? Can't tell but the buttons are sweet. Suit, Tie, Shirt it just all works. Get in there my son!
fantastic patterns. this is obviously not for everyman, but i love that they are those that take. it. there. i hardly recognize him without the glasses. interesting…
If these pieces were not in the same color family, this would fall apart. I don't really like the tie pattern nor colors, but otherwise, I like how he's carrying this off.
I'm in total lust with this man, and it's not just because he looks smashing. He's especially sexy here in all his dueling, Vuillard-inspired patterns and textures.
the suit pattern is similar to something you would have on PJs. I am not a big fan of the suit, but the coat is amazing, as is the tie. the shirt goes terribly with the outfit because the outfit is busy enough as it is, and is even busier with the added design of the shirt. I would have gone with a solid color shirt
First of all, BRAVO, ME GUSTA, BELLO, this is was fashion is all about. this is the best execusion ever !!!!!!! my feelings are very very hurt with this outfit.
if he tried for once to wear a "normal" suit, he would not be recognized at all. i believe for people like hamish, this is the most important thing- above all to be seen (thus the get-up). otherwise, he would just be passed over for the ordinary (or below average) fellow that he is.
I love the way he has mixed the different shades of blue. The mixed patterns, themselves, are the icing on the cake. But i feel best of all is the matching of the golden orange in the tie and the golden Cardin buttons. Hamish is a great inspiration to me.
i admire his confidence to carry so much pattern, and the plain blue coat balances the whole outfit but what i love most of all, is those buttons where can i get some!
Great outfit. Diffent squares, but the same tune. He still looks neat and stylish. Not everyone can manage this kind of mixing. Anyway,inspiring me a lot.
I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut. Overall image is so powerful that the details (patterns, patterns, oh my) only register a few seconds later. *breathless*
Amazing. Show stopper status. This is literally eye candy to me, I love men who dress so dapper. It's just so clean, tailored and complimenting. Can't get enough!

That one pictures tells us that fall is just around the corner. Love the way he telegraphs the change of season via his clothing.

the suit pattern is similar to something you would have on PJs. I am not a big fan of the suit, but the coat is amazing, as is the tie. the shirt goes terribly with the outfit because the outfit is busy enough as it is, and is even busier with the added design of the shirt. I would have gone with a solid color shirt

This reminds me of a modern art movement. Now let me see… what is it's name?
I know — cubism!
But I wouldn't want to hang him on a wall.

You go, Hamish Bowles.
I always love the way he puts himself together.
It's funny how playful his manner of dress is, and how it contrasts with the seriousness of his expression.
…like the 'stache too!

The quintessence of eccentric-chic!
Only in New York and a few places more someone can wear this outfit without being critisized…

if he tried for once to wear a "normal" suit, he would not be recognized at all. i believe for people like hamish, this is the most important thing- above all to be seen (thus the get-up). otherwise, he would just be passed over for the ordinary (or below average) fellow that he is.

I like the whole ensemble, but what I am really digging is the 1970's Pierre Cardin trench.
This is going up on the bulletin board.

I can not believe how well this works. Shoes? Blue suede Lobb William's?

I´ll have to be honest. I don´t like his outfit. There is just too much thought in it, too much. He does attract attention though.

Oh my God, is that a Courreges trench… ? Hamish Bowles is a fucking legend.

I love the way he has mixed the different shades of blue. The mixed patterns, themselves, are the icing on the cake. But i feel best of all is the matching of the golden orange in the tie and the golden Cardin buttons. Hamish is a great inspiration to me.

i admire his confidence to carry so much pattern, and the plain blue coat balances the whole outfit
but what i love most of all, is those buttons
where can i get some!

Great outfit.
Diffent squares, but the same tune.
He still looks neat and stylish.
Not everyone can manage this kind of mixing.
Anyway,inspiring me a lot.

Hamish is always ecentric in his style – a real English Dandy but he manages to pull all the patterns together

I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut. Overall image is so powerful that the details (patterns, patterns, oh my) only register a few seconds later.
