He's way to stand and the look inhis eyes reminds me somehow Bily Elliot. Quite clever solution: a jacket on a fur coat. It could be really inspiring.. I'd choose a light colored jacket instead.. And I would have more liked to see the fur's neckline peeking out..
How often do you see fur not as the focus of outerwear? Very little. I'm intrigued by the layering and the idea of accenting with fur, but I'm not totally comfortable with this look. I can't tell if it's the pants, or maybe the fur is just too much?
I love the look but do you think it was driven by wanting the fur closest to his skin or fear of PETA people. Either way, this came out looking nonchalant and special!! I very seldom like fur looks but this is nice. Thanks for the pic SART!!
his fox-coloured hair matches the fluffy undercoat he's wearing. Amazing lines and shapes, accentuated by the simplenessness of the black-grey-white. <3 love is in the air with this one!
i saw this young man at a fashion show on saturday evening and remember thinking how wonderful he looked! i think the layering of the coat of the fur is great especially with the simple t shirt and trousers :)
Another kid with more natural style than most grownups have in their pinky here in the good old USA. He is so tall and slender, could have done something more with the outfit to draw our eyes away from this, but all in all he looks fantastic. He's well on his way to being a fashionista!
Cool picture! His style is very "blase"! Love sartorialist blog! Hope someone of you guys can check my style one day! Sorry about my english, I live in Boston, but I'm from Brazil:))))
I don't know how I feel about this…I would probably enjoy it more if he wasn't wearing the black overcoat but just the fur…he's also waif-ishly skinny.
Oh, how funny: this is Ross Aston, a Central St. Martin's student! Just shot him @ a Topshop event, and again @ Somerset House. Wonderful, intelligent, charming guy.
You've got good taste, Mr. Sartorialist. It was good seeing you again: hope you liked London & sorry about the weather.
I have always wanted to layer a thin fur under an overcoat, but also a beautifully framed composition. I commend your efforts to make what is usually not recognized – recognized. Thank you for the photos.
I really want to like this outfit, but I just can't decide. it has charm, it is a slightly strange combo, but leaves me with the interrogation hanging above my head. But isnt that what true fashion is? I wonder…
Such a beautiful English face- porcelain and androgynous. Looks like he's been busted stealing his Nans coat! The architecture behind the two London shots makes them look like time travellers- both look like Dickensian urchins .
aha, the perennial wafer-thin white t-shirt under the open black jacket in the dead of winter! for how many years have slim, statement-conscious students made this their non-negotiable look, worth risking any number of consequent coughs and sniffles? …..but perhaps in this interpretation the fur will keep the flu at bay…

so different, he's doin his thing with this ensemble, very inspiring, winter photos in general are favoring layering in a nontraditional way…love the look
i love the fur coat, and i just think this shows how you dont have to have a ton of designer labels in order to look chic. this would never fly in NY or LA but paris or london its just perfect
