Eye opening moment: This is the first time I’ve ever liked the look of tassle loafers! Amazing what a little sprezzatura can do…I’ve always associated the tassle with forked-tonged attorneys, and here they are looking earthy, honest and legit. Thanks for the perspective!

The first thing that comes to my mind is “Bauhaus 1930´s”…
Very nice indeed.

Fascinating historical pastiche–looks like an old daguerrotype or something.

whatever the intent was here, I don’t think it’s working; she looks terribly overburdened and dragged down by the weight of her bag and clothes. The odd bunchiness of the skirt, and the way that the shininess of the top highlights all the crumples and wrinkles, are also unfortunate, in my eyes. Plus, white shoes with this ensemble? Really? (I *do* like the glasses, though!)

Just saw Belmondo last night in BREATHLESS and this jacket- also in Paris!- is the total opposite. But BOTH are great!

I like the way the high vamp tasseled loafers complement the cut of his trousers. The sweater cut and fit ruin the otherwise nonchalant look. Great b/w shot!

I feel like I’m looking at an old family photo. The bowtie is the extreme of bowties. Very nicely shot and I like that you made it black and white. Have a good weekend Sart.

It’s a very Lanvin kind of look.
The way Alber Elbaz dresses these days. But Mr. Tonchi is much slimmer and that gives it a whole different push. Great photo by the way !

Only black-and-white could have conveyed that image properly.
It’s superb.

A miss, unfortunately: tie too large and skewed, cardigan/vest unbuttoned at the bottom looks sloppy beneath the jacket. The general unkempt air also works against the effectiveness of the pants length by making the observer uncertain as to whether its intentional or not.

Wonderful picture. At firt glance I thought it was a set shot from an old Italian movie. Then I realized that, of course, you just took it!
Another example of not only your great eye for style, but also for setting and mood.
Thanks Scott.

this is my kind of thing.
the amount of 1920-50s references in your blog seems to be on the increase.

Not feeling the clothes, but this picture is priceless. What time of day did you take this pic, Sart, and how was the light?

Any outstanding reason to go black and white with this particular one?
I’d kinda like to see it in color.

There is simply no better advice than this …If U want to look your best!
Remember hipster pants are a trend and trenda always looks good on a few people…but everyone wants to look like the few!!
THANKS SAR!!

If I didn’t know he is a fashion world person of import by the Sartorialist headline, I’d say, oh, he’s wearing flood pant jodphurs with a too small jacket and a crooked tie, and figure I’m seeing a comedian.
I’m fairly old, and don’t remember people wearing the squeezing-into-jacket-look-on purpose in other decades, so I don’t get the retro oohing and ahing.
Maybe I missed it.
That this is cool is something I’m working on getting used to. By the time I get there, it’ll be over.

Fabulous ! And the bow tie … a mix with Alber Elbaz !?
P.S:I’m waiting for your exposition with Colette !!!

if ever there was an opportunity to use black and white, this was it. What a classic look captured in classically beautiful photography.
wow i sound inarticulate.
