The Sartorialist

this opa is vogue!

one of my favourite colour combinations. wonderful!

what a charm!! when you grow old you definetely have to work on your charm!

white & blue is very chic…I love tokyo…tokyo is life

I love his watch!

I love his waistcoat and turquoise bracelet – he seems slightly transcendent…

His accessories say it all,

Clean look, love the glasses and the turquoise bracelet!

I really love that watch he's wearing and the round specs. I need to find round specs!

this gentleman is well-being personified.

but on other shots: japs are far-out. really crazy. love 'em for that.
good thing they're finally getting rid of that school-girl image (or is it western stereotype?).

I am absolutely in love with this. so simple, so easy; could be a very thought-through clothing choice for the day or the "style uniform" of which he puts on some version every morning. but whichever it is, those glasses and jewelry just make it so perfectly considered. the semi-precious/silver and the canvas give it sort of a native american flair too, which is cool and unusual.

Clean. Worst part is he knows it.

white like semplicity!!! i love it

Great picture! All white is bo-ring but the blues of the hat and watch and the red of the cross make the photograph! Thanks for sharing.

This gentleman has to be one of my favorites from your subjects! His style is, for lack of a better word, FABULOUS! The glasses, his hat, the white on white with the hints of color in his accessories! Oh my!

Oh!
While I have enjoyed your other pics from Japan, this one really hit home. I wish I could pin point exactly why.

I absolutely agree with Malf:this (who actually is very elegant) would be perfect without the cross and the bracelet… Less is difficult, less is beautiful, less is… what we really need.

oh my gawd! I am dying over his amazing bracelet with turquoise. I have been trying to find something like that forever. Anyone know a store that sells pieces like that in NYC? contact me!

great picture. like all the japan pictures so far, none of them are really posing for the camera or are poseurs. japanese are aware of who they are, even if they often hide behind clothes and the character they choose to project. no westerner can understand this and usually stick to the usual harajuku, roppongi stereotypes…

Oh my! He is one fly man.

this is fantastic, I'm so loving your japan shots.

So happy to see the face behind United Arrow – one of my adored Japanese brands! Always a treat to visit the shop! Angela in Victoria, BC

Calm and peace.White(the man)over white(background blur) covered by a blue sky(the cap)and his reflex on the wrist(turquoise).
I hope you understand it then i need to much the help of the dictionary.Thanks.

i love simplicity. just simple.

is that a watch or a bracelet? whatever it is, the turquoise looks awesome on him.

Nice!

I like very much this style. I also like very much your blog…you have some very interesting photos:)

I like Tokyo fashion so much. Because it's really fun to see how they dressed up, we can smell freedom from them and their fashion makes me smiling! =] They are not the same as Europeans and others. What making them cool is they are just being by themselves not copying others. It's really important.

It's nice too see really new kind of fashion. It's sole refreshing pics. Thanks for sharing Tokyo fashion.

I'm literally hyper because of this picture – that look! Please stay in Japan – I'm a huge fan of all its fashion!

That is a sharp look. Love the turquoise bracelet.

how much are you fricking loving asian style mr. sartorialist?!
all images so far are fab. they just have their own inimitable style. you could do a book on them alone!
PD x

ohhh goddd. he is gorgeous!!

Unas fotografías únicas e irrepetibles -todas y como siempre-.

I like it.
I had some concerns that your pics would be still bit stereotyped "Harajuku kids snap" of first-timers — felt "And thou Mr.Sartorialist!"
But needless :)

I love white on white, because the textures become important. And that hint of blue at the wrist and on his head make it snap.

Wonderful and so very inspiring. Love Japanese fashion. Hope you are enjoying your time in Tokyo!

Great style

Love all white! The way I see it the accessories are representing the elements surrounding the white as Air, the turquoise as Water the red on his neck as Fire and the cobalt blue cap as Earth. He has achieved a crisp energized look.

Thanks for a great blog! You have an amazing eye.

good job love it! you should check out theFUMI.com
I totally love it and you'll too ;)

Maybe it's just on the photo, but I love how the vest seems to be slightly a different shade of white than the rest of the outfit. Great Japan pictures!

This man is kool!

This guy really shows his personality in this style. Sooo charming!

love the simplicity in his outfit

this man is really stylish and cool! only a japanese could pull this off!

AMAZING! I did not know this was even possible…

This man is HOT from head to toe, I love to see tonality taken to the extreme, then finished off with the perfect accessories. I sometimes feel like a fish out of water, because I've always dressed this way. Black, charcoal, grey, chocolate, brown, tan, taupe, beige, cream, slate, white AND a ton of fabulous accessories. This gentleman makes me feel right at home! The simple pure cotton from head to toe topped with the blue beanie, and the native stone almost "hippie" kind of jewelry is so slick. Love it!

This guys looks awesome-the Navajo watchband adds nice punctuation to a perfect outfit.

He's so young!! I loved the turquoise detail.

grandpa, u rock!!!

i love the turquoise in his watch!

met him when I was in tokyo, i think he working at a united arrow shop. way cool.

Very cool looking guy. Age is not a barrier to coolness. At least that's what I tell myself.
