The Sartorialist

Love the hair on the guy in the first pic on the left. The scarf in the second pic is so bohemian chic.

Hair is the most versatile accessory! Very inspirational photos!

Fashion is an art
always open
new windows
and keep our mind and heart
fresh, flexible,
and pointing to the future.

I like the second photo, a lot of interesting fashion going on there

Wow! I know the girl in the first photo! I went to highschool with her. Hi Michele!!!!

Not really liking any of the hair here, mainly because it looks rather badly do-it-yourself. However, I am loving the skinny pants with boots and the great brogues!

Keep asking myself what kind of a tribe they belong to. A bit disturbing and facinating at the same time.

I can appreciate these photos because they show a sign of modern times and people thinking for themselves.

love it! they all look fabulous. edginess never goes out of style. speaking of hair, i’ve been cruising your archives and come across some remarks about style as one ages and whether to dye or not. i just hit 50 and let my hair go natural about a year ago. it was hard at first but now i am used to it and am so glad i did. many compliments on my beautiful silver streaks! dyeing is expensive, time consuming and damaging to sometimes delicate older hair. a question- why do so many american women chop their hair off when they get older? they all look the same! a lovely chignon or ponytail is so classic and looks good with anything.

So in love with the styling on all of them…! Black on black and ingenious layering…

modern? I’n not so sure. We were looking at some old pics over the weekend, my friend had the same haircut as the dude in the first pic on the left in the mid 80s. We also wore a lot of shaved off sides in various candy colors (manic panic!) then. Everything old is new again!

Sorry, not interested in nostalgia.

I adore the entire adrogynous/punk/dishevelled(second image) brilliance within these outfits, as all evident personalities; they thrive a personal depcition of mind, and portray themselves somewhat beautifully.

That’s very eighties hair! I bet they aren’t using sugar water to keep it in place. Or the better part of a can of AquaNet!

I’m considering revisiting a modified page-boy with shaved head/detail lines underneath along the sides and back myself (it can spike into a mohawk on a whim).

Yawn…I lived through the 80.

I am too classic for this. For me is too much….

Love the first guy’s hairstyle… Is so amazing! I simply love it! WOW!

I think I knew these guys in 1986. So happy to see they haven’t changed a bit.

Hair is a major fashion accessory; the lack of said hair is certainly an accessory as well.

I love this. So glad there is a New York.

I’d call it post-modern hair (if you go by Clement Greenberg’s definition of post-modernism).

@john, Bauhaus for sure, with a Ministry segue.

they look like extras from Pretty in Pink…

To anyone who thinks they might not be able the pull this hair off, we did it all the time. I worked with my page boy/mohawk in a very conservative government agency. It was down and in place during the day and spiked by night.

These looks can easily go the same way – spiked/fluffed for weekend/night and smoothed for conservative time. It’s all in the styling (and to some degree, make-up).

You may call this modern, but I call it Iggy Pop Concert, circa 1983. And, it’s still kind of cool.

The guy’s hair in the first picture is to die for. Kind of reminds me of David Lynch’s. I really fancy the second picture, though…makes me wish you’d do a shooting in Camden Town. One thing I am having trouble understanding is the reason why most people who have commented these captions seem to criticise these styles, claiming they belong in the 80′s and, therefore, have nothing refreshing to it. I disagree. Putting looks like the ones shown above together comes through as a great way to express yourself, regardless of whatever is considered fashionable, these days.

Kegan Singh is always good-looking!
I like his hair!

I love this look, the hair is so edgy. I guess I didn’t do this in the eighties, so I don’t feel nostalgic for it. I still think it is a very interesting way to do your hair.

cross between skin head and punk nothing new but a street style adapted by fashionista I don’t think it will catch on to the massed…….but some are done well love the talk about hair i am a hairdresser and hair is everything

Very cool, but they look very posed. Is this a photoshoot or just how people stand around in these Modernist circles?

Haha love the pun on more or less!

oops…fly’s open…too tight…!

Nicely polished punk rock. Lovely and cute. I am a sucker for different period dressing. Liking it more and more. This reminds me of a graphic novel I bought used called “Love and Rockets”. It is likely from the 80′s. The fly doesn’t bother me. Tight pants are part of that …package. No pun intended, but it couldn’t be helped. Sorry.

Groovy hair!

I love her necklace in the second photo!

I love his scarf… very chic.

I usually don’t like extreme hairdos, but I have to admit that that guy to the left in the first photo looks really cool!

Smth strange look. :)

Enjoyed the hair shots but I guess everything is retro now, same things come back over and over and over

The man’s pants in the first picture are so tight he couldn’t get his zipper done up. Maybe that should be an indication that he needs one size bigger. I LOVE tight pants on a man, but there’s nothing attractive about pants that don’t fit well…no matter how chic or fashion forward he may be.

As a second point of interest, there’s a lot of “modern” hair in these shots that all looks the exact same.

What is the name of the woman in the first picture? I LOVE her look! And that hand resting on her hip makes her even more chic!

I actually really like this, don’t think I could pull it off though

There’s only one appropriate response to this.

someone must be playing a trick .. this is just silly
looks like a couple of kids looted the goodwill box

What a great second shot, looks they were having an interesting conversation!

I love the modernity of it all however the poor diy styled haircuts are so “unique” they lack originality. Great pictures nevertheless :) I have always valued your eye.

Wow. So hip. It hurts.

I had hair like this for 10 years. The growing out was NOT FUN! Think before you buzz….But I did love it.

cool

Cosmopolitan societies tend to have diverse trends in clothing and hairstyle. The streets of New York is one good example where you see people subjecting themselves to fashion mainstream while some are quite expressive in setting a unique style of ‘individualized’ taste. Fashion is a dynamic and continuously evolving art. Back in the old days (like centuries ago), the same style of fashion dominated a particular period in history for a very long time. Fast forward to the 20th century, each decade (let’s say from the 1920′s to the 1990′s) seemed to have a defining character or concept that dictated the trend in fashion within that period of time. Today, it’s a whole lot different. Interestingly, there have been style revivals from different eras with cool updated twists. Some emerging fashion trends even appear to be ‘surrealistic’, very futuristic, and very unconventional. Fashion is an ultimate expression of the ‘self’. Capturing the essence of fashion in everyday life experience is truly interesting (like the picture above). Everyone owes a lot to Scott Schuman for bringing that essence right into this blog site. What is the essence of 21st century Fashion? What will happen to Men’s Fashion? Women’s Fashion? These are questions that every reader of this site might want to ponder on.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT especially 2nd photo!!!!!!!WHOOOOAH!!!
