i love it! and i love love your blog! thank's so much for your post!

see, this is awesome. and the hand jewelry ! love it.

How long has he been carrying around that Louis shopping bag?

What a beautiful jawline!

Those shoes are the perfect touch.

I loveee that the LV bag is crinkled. The cream blazer looks insane on the his skin and that red ring is the perfect (for lack of better vocabulary) "pop" of color.
Love.

the laceless brogues, the gatsby cap, the rolled up jeans… the fact that the the LV shopping bag is on it's last go-round…I LOVE this for so many reasons. but as much as I adore a random accessory, the ring takes away from the effortlessness of it all…it's a bit too contrived. although surely many will probably love it.

use over time does make the bag better, leather or paper. LOVE IT!

wow! Stylish!!

Amazing! Style and picture!

Nice pic.I like too.
is the pic for advertaising.
congratulations
When will you departure to london?

carrying old LV paperbags around is a complete no go.

love the ring!

So chic!!! Love the red ring and the cream tuxedo blazer…perfect look :)

Trying a little too hard (in several different ways) for me…

Chocolate!!!

This young man is trying too hard. Good cheek structure, though.

Don´t care about Vuitton, i care about THAT ring…!
NL.

LOVE the ring!!! Where is it from?

doesn't this guy work for kimora?

Il est juste superbe !

Don't you just love who she IS~!
Fabulous~!

Does he work for LV??

The 3-finger ring is what's up! So 80's Rap Star.

love his style, could care less that he has a LV bag. not one to care about labels, and so many people have that signature brown 'lv' leather bag… i fail to call that part of his style unique.

the undone laces, cream blazer and rolled up jeans? awesome

The ring is from a company by the name of RomeingPanda.

Your subject is beautiful, and he (or she) clearly has a cool sensibility, but it's too bad his (or her) taste for understatement didn't extend to the bags. The repeating LV logo is a cry for strangers' esteem, and the rumpled old bag is just sad.

That's packaging; it's trash. Save it for moving day or throw it away.

He is simply beautiful.
He makes me want to switch to portrait photography, I'm serious.
I love the look in his eye, the way that he's owning those chairs. This person, his style, LOVE.
I currently live in Seoul (the land of Louis Vuitton fake and real) so I'm not impressed by LV at all.

No shade Pharrell, but with all his millions he wishes that he could pull off half the style that this young man is giving us for free.

Beautiful! I love how the jacket adds a touch of "cream" to his coffee like complexion! As for the "worn out bag", it's the perfect match to his aged jeans and he's re-using material instead of tossing it. This shot is golden!

I used to live near the avenue George V in Paris and some of the neighborhood homeless people would regularly use Louis Vuitton cardboard bags as sidewalk mattresses. I could only attribute that to a particular local ecosystem : the proximity of the flagship LV shop, the thickness and durability of the LV shopping bags (I totally concur), and the behaviour of Japanese customers, who tend to consolidate all their purchases in a single bag before moving on to avenue Montaigne (there used to be a line of Japanese tourists at 9am in front of LV on Tuesdays, that's how I know they start off with LV – guess there was a weekly Tokyo flight). Anyway, some public trashbins in the neighborhood are filled with a mix of McDonald's wrappings and Louis Vuitton brown, thick and neatly folded shopping bags.

Gorgeous!!!! I love that people can't tell if this is a female or male….absolutely stunningly stylish…. BEAUTIFUl. This is how the so called beautiful people of New York attending fashion week wished they looked- just a cap and some jeans- perfect …. without trying….Louis Vuitton should take note and use beautiful people as this in their campaigns, it may even inspire me to buy their products…… The shot is great it looks like an advertisement- but not contribed .. just shot with the brilliance os only scott can capture

Anon 4.06, I know what you mean. This image is fascinating to unpick for its cultural resonance. Outside the current trend for invisible socks, sockless, laceless shoes speak of poverty; the cap speaks of working class history; reusing a bag speaks of working (or now not-working) class thrift. Yet it seems clear that this young man is not poor. The ring in this context speaks of the flash style best done, knowingly, by black people, yet the cream blazer and leather shoes exude class in any culture. The LV duffle bag appears to be real, with its worn leather handle speaking of upperclass use over decades, but the brand has been so debased by imitation and ubiquity that it can no longer speak of tone, only wealth. And when placed next to the carry bag we are further confused by how we are supposed to regard the item. I think this handsome young man has put this ensemble together in the most sophisticated way to challenge our ideas of who wears what, how we can juxtapose items to add and subtract value and what the clothes and accessories actually mean. It an absolutely bravura performance.

The ring is by ROMEingPanda.. for all inquiries please visit http://www.romeingpanda.com

Unbelievable co-ordination. The red plastic ring with that cream blazer really makes the ensemble look whole.

Hi so this is me (DeAndre DaCosta) in the picture. The photographer spotted my after a long show at the tents in Central park. I went shopping earlier in the day and the rain added to the bag becoming "distressed". To be honest i actually hated the way i looked on this day. Thanks Sartorialist for this beautiful image…P.S i am a boy!
