Lovely. Strong features. Confident attitude. Great landscape. Reminds me of the Eastern Freestate in South Africa, where i live. These pics definitely belong here. Fashion/anthropology/philosophy/travel should not be separated, it’s impossible (and dangerous) to safely compartmentalize these days. Thanx for fucking with the definition of fashion!
I’ve always thought of your photographs as being just about fashion- of course they are more than that, but thats how I distinguish your work from others in my mind. So its interesting to see these photos, far from the world of runways and high fashion, juxtaposed with those of chic Parisians and funky New Yorkers. This makes me thing twice about what fashion is- its just people and expression, and maybe in this man’s case it is completely unintended. This is how fashion should be. Wonderful.
I must say that his appearance resembles a Romanian shepherd’s. I think you would find yourself awfully inspired by Romanian rural landscapes, perhaps you’ll consider a trip here too :)

I’m absolutely in love with those pictures. Thank you for sharing your vision on this wonderful trip. And I know that Morocco is NOT a third world country , it is an amazing place where the clima , goodsense of life, great colours, spicy smelling and true people are in harmony .
Oh Scott, What a fantastic trip! I have always wanted to go to Morocco, it’s on my list, but haven’t had the chance yet, but soon, oh soon I hope! I love it that you are not doing the usual tourist route and more off the road adventures, that is the way to go! Regards from Peru! Carola
As always, a wonderful photo of the colors. I was wondering, do these cultures use blacks and whites like we do in the civilized(joking) world? I look around me at work and so many do the basic black with white shirts…boring. On the otherhand, it is possible you just don’t capture those.

Great to see also road and mountain fashion, not only street fashion. Actually, this is where most of us walk.
This is why you are so beloved, because you see beauty — including fashion beauty. I have often lived and worked in remote, extreme, and extremely gorgeous places where people have few clothes, many of which are hand-me-downs, and, as you are showing us, still DO consider what to wear, when, how, with what. Authenticity, as you always highlight, makes it all add up to stunning. THANK YOU!
You’ve happened a man in dress that picks up on every color in the background (though I’m sure natural hues make up much of what you see both across the landscape and from person to person). This photo is beautiful, I would frame it and keep it if I could!
What a fantastic shot. I saw what you said yesterday in the comments about this blog being about inspiration. From the beginning of this Morocco series, I have felt inspired. The colours (in architecture, in market scenes, in landscapes), the textures, the prints… How could all of this possibly be considered un-sartorial?
This series (of Moroccan Nomads) is amazing to me because they remind me so much of the gypsies I have seen in rural Romania, yet they are thousands of miles a part. Beautiful.

there is a wolf motif walking up from 12 o’clock hidden in his sweater.i like that.Nevertheless he’s just a villager taking a stroll in the middle of nowhere…
Really beautiful photos, but I must ask… what happened to this being a street fashion blog…?
