As sid ford mentioned in an earlier post this is obviously a Jarvis Cocker immitation rather than Andy Warhol. In fact, his look is an utter replica (dare I say rip-off) of the Jarvis/Pulp look circa 1995-1996. It’s amazing what passes off as originality nowadays a decade after everyone discarded Britpop.
I love this man’s look. It just shows that narrow, fitted proportions for men WORK. Still not sold on the super-shrunken lengths in certain TB suits though.
I bet his outfit go nottin to do with andy, I’d say he wants to refer to the philosophical group of existentialists, from the 5os, Jean paul satre, camus and so on! anyone else share my opinion, thats exactly the look they put to the road, dangling between university and jazzclub!
He is always in the coffee shop across the street (88 Orchard) so I am sure he must be at Brown often too, as someone else mentioned! I always notice him…

Isn’t it great when style and substance merge? (Actually they’re one and the same, but that’s a discussion for another day.)
He knows who he is (or wants to be)–and looks it. Perfectly. Down to the gloves.
The gloves!

Although I don’t like the look, I have to admit the guy put a lot of effort in pulling it together. His jacket is absolutely gorgeous.
But he makes me want to run up and place a flower on his lapel. That’s what I would do if I saw him on the street.

Great photo. love how the reflection on the lenses blocks out the eyes, giving the appearance of ultimate scenester indifference. Kudos, Sartorialist.

And the jacket, I would love to have such a piece in my closet.

he reminds me of warhol as well. but the collar and the coat are perfect and i like the how he has the red neckerchief tied high around his neck.
i can always appreciate a person that takes consideration in what they wear

He looks like a charecter out of graphic novel and there’s a hint of Jarvis Cocker too (I blame the specs).

This I love- a total character. His posture is Edward Scissorhands-like. Very cool. He also has some real life to his face, nice lines, very real.
