You are a photographic genius but ENOUGH with the cell phones!!!!!!!!! Doesn’t anybody realize how gauche that looks. It removes the presence form a person’s character completely..and deters from there otherwise fine sense of style.

Wow. What a stunning photograph. I wonder if it’s an old Japanese kimono that’s being re-purposed as a robe or coat? Or something completely else? What a nice surprise. Thanx Sart!

Great look…east meets west, or modern civilization and ancient times intermingle in such wonderful form. This shot is devoid of any other influence beside the black background. This subject speaks all alone, by itself. Just fantastic, Sart!

The photographer is so fine!
The energy in how the fabric is being pulled reminds me of old Chinese prints. It’s amazing how the ancient is so alive in this modern cell phone picture.
The designer logo on the wrist band resembles an asian character and becomes part of the theme.
The gorgeous soft red color goes so well with his skin.
Kudos.

Beautiful fabric – like a 3D tattoo. I’d wear this when I entertain at home. I’d even love this fabric as a quilt for my bed. I know it’s gotta be silk. Uruwashii!

…and this is why we all keep coming back.
This is the first time I have actually liked the cell phone in the shot. The man and the garment are breathtaking, but the cell phone creates the anachronistic irony (so well understood and underscored by that devastating just-budding smile!) that provides the brilliant wordless caption.
There are those shots you post that are about the clothes and their wearer and that is all and that is enough. This is not one of those shots.
I am enchanted.

It is either Chinese or Tibetan, not Japanese. Notice the dragon symbols. And it’s a man, not a woman.

I love the androgyny and ambiguity, as reflected in the comments. Man? Woman? Chinese? Tibetan? Bhutanese?
I can’t stop coming back to look. It’s the kind of photo I’d like to have, in a silver frame on my desk. something to take me outside my thoughts for a moment when i look at it.
