I’m trying to figure out how to say how well done i think this is but it just keeps sounding dumb so I will stop typing now.

He looks great … it’s looks complicated but so so simple … who is he? he looks familiar …

A picture is worth 1,000 words. This picture is a lovely example of the reason why this is so.

The cardigan, shirt, look very polished. But he looks goth…for some reason…maybe the hair and the rosary..goth going to catholic school. Good sartorial structure, but not on him.

I’m sorry Sart, I wish I could agree, but he looks like he jumped out of the poster from Prada’s Fall/Winter 2005/6 collection, all those muted tones and the whole sombre feel. I think one needs to take everything in moderation, especially when it comes to fashion.

So perfect. The pure white and pearl tones are so nice to see in the Fall, and the lighthanded accents of the necklace, garters and bagstrap make this look ethereal.

The success of this has, I think, to do with the cleverness of the “composition”: the diagonal of the strap against the half-oval of the collar and necklace; the horizontal bands on the sleeves, reiterated by the top of the pants…the eye keeps dancing around: very pleasing!

looks to boyish to me. besides, the mega slim trend and to short jackets are a bit over the top at the moment.
When is that trend over, sart?

He does look a little too sensitive/totured soul for his own good.
Maybe winter?
Although, rumor has it winter in NYC will turn your blood to ice. Maybe not all that practical.

Seems to be a mix between Prada and Jil Sander. The collar of the shirt could be just a little bit longer … I am wondering what kink of shoes he waers … hopefully no sneakers ;-)
Ciao.

Eck. I don’t like. A costume. I much prefer your shots of “normal” people, heading to and from work, who manage to do so while looking great. This is too fashiony, too thought out.

this might be a bit of a strange question, but i don’t know where else to ask it; does anyone know what the songs played at this show were?

Pieces of it are working for me like the slim cut pant but the buttoned up collar is too circa 1984 for my taste.
I just found the show schedule: http://firstview.com/showschedules/2007/newyorkspring2007.html
I would love to see Zac Posen and what Calvin Klein is up to.

It is the necklace thing that puts me off. And somehow it emphasises his narrow physique. Fine but not to my taste. Like the hair though. Very well, English looking,

He looks great. Marc Jacobs is so good at the little subdued details that seem to jump out at you. It’s very artful, very cinematic and with a great use of collage / assemblage techniques. Picasso said collage would be the art-form of this century and this designer is a great representation of that view.
Every object has a meaning and he understands this and has a gift for placement and attention to colour.

This is very Prada last season or whatever but who cares. He looks cool and distinctive. Love those sleeve garters (?). The little necklace, skinny bag strap, it’s also so delicate, but I think that’s what he’s going for. A little androgny never hurt anyone.

I love his look. What is around his forearms? Those black things?

I like it!!!!I like how he accessorizes…this look will be so so if it weren’t for the rosary and those black straps (I don’t even know what it is) on the cardigan and how the design of the bag’s strap look across his chest. All of the accessories that he use are minimalistic and not over the top which really compliments the more quiet things in this outfit. AND I’m not sure if anyone thought about it but…doesn’t he look like a blonde Olivier Theyskens?

my bf and i have been searching for more fitted mens dress shirts for him that aren’t ridiculously expensive, could you recommend any brands?
he’s a huge fan of zara shirts for men, but variety would be great!

You know, I don’t WANT to like it. But I do. While he does look like he might have walked off a photo shoot that was taking itself way too seriously, it looks as if it genuinely suits him. I think that’s why it’s indescribable. It shouldn’t work for me. But it does.

Yikes, lit – so now prada owns the rights to muted tones and a somber feel? Going to be a long forever here in NYC. Plenty of people wearing that ‘feel’ since well before FW05/06.
Chicken or the egg, and all that.
And I think (s)he looks great. My barber wears the same armbands.

He’s kinda got the androgynous look going on that has been prevalent in the recent fashion ads, except it’s usually the females who resemble male features.

The androgony of the model dominates the frame – it overshadows the threads.

I love his look, not too “done” at all. He looks like a Vermeer painting. I don’t usually like long hair on men, but on him it looks natural.

A fully buttoned up collar makes me think of that freaky Karr guy now. Another guy the other day did manage to full off the buttoned color, but because he looked really happy.
This is obviously the guy’s look, and he pulls it off, but he makes think of an elf from LOTR forced into 1950s wear against his will!

I agree with City Slicker that this guy looks English. He reminds me of a young Julian Sands (actor). Can also see the LOTR elf look too.

Back in my college years, he would’ve been my dream date. Now I say, lose the hair or lose the outfit to avoid looking like a cliché. And yet I can’t help but think of the “tragically” lost blond appeal of Orlando Bloom. The boy is delicious and has good taste, the photo just amplifies it.

He has some kind of perfect shape or object arrangement about him. Everything is positioned perfectly.
He looks like some kind of forest elf, pulled from the dark, moist, mossy depths and transformed into a modern urban elf of light.
