The 80s seem to be alive and kicking. But where the h…. do you find all these people? Are they at the fashion shows? I normally only see them on Portobello or other markets…
out-of-the-box, unique, a "left of the spectrum" style that helps establish reference points for mainstream. have to admit though, i don't know if i could concentrate having a conversation with this dude – it's a little much
Haha, totally love the top knot. I can relate…I refuse to wear my hair down until its grown out to a reasonable and less ugly length…I do think he rocks the up 'do better than I do, though.
this guy went to st martins with me. he always puts a lot of effort into his looks and they are always unique, but somehow it doesn't feel natural to me, it doesn't flow within itself and to me, that is the most important ingredient of style…
so, I count 4 cultures he's appropriating … does that seem right to everyone else? am I missing something?
looks smart, and the ear buds polish it off. I can see how this could irritate some people whose cultural heritage has become just one more artfully placed bauble.
Is anybody else fascinated by the shape of his head, and the contrast his topknot makes against it. It's so perfectly balanced, it almost doesn't seem like it is his actual hair. not to mention the intricacies of his hair knot. As much as you all may not like the hair, I think he'd look naked without it.
It almost seems to be a defensive look, the way certain butterflies have spots on their wings that make predators mistake them for owls. No one can step up to this man because he momentarily paralyzes the mind with his clever pastiche ensemble, which includes his face itself. If you cover the image from the bow down, you believe it's Amy Winehouse. His Peruvian neck-disc is likely razor-sharp. Also I really like that the Apple earbuds he sports emerge from the spine and not the gut.
each individual accessory makes a statement but comes together nicely. the hairdo admittedly is not the most flattering but kudos for having the creativity and balls to pull this off. he's a daring dreamboat!
bow infront of your master, crowd! - the keith haring button combinded with the massai neck thing is beyond anything a mortal can achieve – let alone 'pull off'.
Here in one photo is proof that very few can capture what our dear Sart captures on the regular. The mzungu masaai is confusing the hell out of me, but of one thing I am certain: Scott Schulman rocks!
The bow (especially the placement) reminds me of what they put on the head of a new born baby girl—so with that in mind, this is kind of messing with my head.

I'm not judging, I'm just amusing myself. I enjoy this image, I can't stop looking—fascinating.
Oh wow. I'm feeling the Jonathan Demme movie "Something Wild" aesthetic in this outfit…especially the first half hour. Is that crazy? Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
I think this is fantastic. A modern tribal representation of yesteryears. His necklace is key and would look amazing of a female with a strapless dress.
the photo itself is way beyond style–totally mesmerizing. Though I'd crop it at the forehead to get rid of that distracting thing on his head–but the lighting the colors are so fabulous.
Modern-day Japanese/Shinto perhaps ?…what I really like is the way the light shows his straight cheek bones and the raised area around his mouth… fixed eyes…like the old Japanese prints and woodblocks
oh wow! i used to see this guy in shoreditch/spitalfields area when i lived in london! i remember passing him in a cab and both the driver and i gasped simultaneously as we spotted him! what a look! i have the same african tribal necklace and am now inspired to wear it.
WO – I was sat behind this fella on the bus a few weeks back…his hair is so well put together you can help but take your hat off to him. Love the rest of the look though I must say he should talk a little more quietly on the phone in future! Great pic!
Sorry, but this is wrong on so many levels from my perspective, but I really do appreciate that this is still considered 'style' regardless of my worthless opinion!
I love this. He's young and manages to be overserious and frivolous at the same time – and it's just a beautiful portrait. The background in this sets everything off, too. It's just a flash in youth, in time. It's great.
In San Francisco, this would be a Burning Man festival look aka dirty hippie(which I don't like). But for some reason, perhaps the way he does his hair or arranges the bandana, that makes this outfit less hippie and more high art/fashion.
