The Sartorialist

i envy how nonchalant they are… envy. =)
I adore the picture though. Where was this taken?

a lot of style for his age …

Ah, teenage angst. Looks very much like something I would wear three years ago. I love his face and just his aura all together…very ‘me against the world.’

Now i remember my childhood years on him :)

this young parisian is wearing one of the 500 pairs pierre hardy’s that have been distributed worldwide… NOICE

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!!!!

I love the sweater, is it a cardigan? It appears to be a very simple garment, but notice on the left side of the pic how there is a double front half of it. If the post above is right, it would be a Vivienne Westwood, great idea, and it drapes great!!! I like the bag also, although I try my hardest not to carry my bags on my shoulder- I think it makes me look feminine, which I dislike. Great outfit for someone young and slim, although I suspect some of the readers will post that black skinny jeans are a trend from the past. Jorge from W Palm Beach

That is one cool kid. Suspect he’d have the undefinable “it” even without the limited edition footwear…

I like his style, I think it’s kind of preppy London punk? . . .he could be bad or he could be bad. Is it wrong to wish he had a cig and a safety pin some where?

What is in the water there?? Even the kids have so much style!

good lord.

so much style, and he looks like he’s just turned 14. i’m well past 14 and don’t look so styled.

Do they have a Parisian Ecouter class offered in day care to these kids?!?!?! He looks GREAT.

this is what it would be like if i can be 13 again but knowing what i know now about fashion.

A great photoshoot… with a great teenage model.

Wish that I looked that good when I was just a kid, or that I was able to get a hold of those pierre hardy sneakers. When I was 12 I thought that phat farm sneakers were the second coming manifested onto my feet.

i didn’t see anyone that amazingly dressed when i was in paris! i guess we went to all of the wrong places!

what a pouty face – the boys in training

I could never have looked this good when I was 13ish…he must be older than he looks. In which case he still looks cooler than I ever have. Jealous.

kiddie chic

I’m a little astounded. He’s a little bit of genius with his color arrangements.

Anon 5 : 55 and a Dior Homme bag ???

I may appear a little old fasioned, even if I am 37, but in my young and parent rich days, you couldn’t imagine buying suc an expensive item for a kid, only “nouveaux riches” would do that.

But today, yo see 12 years old girls with chloé bags

It just means nothing.

The draping on that sweater is fabu! This is polished teen chic. I think he looks awesome.

I love this blog but this image is horrible. I know kids are supposed to be skinny but he looks positively anorexic and definately not healthy. I am much more concerned about when he is next going to eat, than his Pierre Hardy’s sorry!
i just can’t even look at his style when all I see is the dead expression in his eyes.
Why sartorialist?

rich kid … but if i had the money and the kids, i’ll propably do the same.

great to see someone younger on here -

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you’re a boy

When you’re a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you’re a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you’re a boy
(bowie)

He looks like he raided mom’s closet for the bag and the sweater. I wonder what this kid will be wearing in 5 years.

If this kid doesn’t grow up to be uber cool, then there is no hope for the rest of us. I mean, who gets to wear Pierre Hardy kicks at 12 years old? *envy*

I love when kids have great style. Not just when they’re parents dress them, but when they have their own style and they wear it well. He is definitely wearing it well.

this outfit doesn’t really do much for me. sure the price tag is a little higher than most hipster outfits, but he looks like any average scene kid from the burbs.

Oh my gosh, I am so excited to see a youngster featured here!

Love his t-shirt and the limited edition Pierre Hardy kicks – 2.500 pieces were distributed in select stores.
In my opinion the brown and black he is wearing clash a bit.
Love the teen aura though!

Alors, this kid has better clothes than just about any other Parisian under 30 that I’ve seen – and I live here! Arugh. Dior Homme? Westwood? Pierre Hardy? At 12!? Depressing.

How do you suppose he blows off steam (all that teenage angst welling up in his eyes, etc etc). Slashing up his maman’s Balenciaga jackets?

I should hate him but strangely, I don’t. I’m just jealous. Please inform us who his stylist is (groan).

such a ROCKSTAR! Love the Tshirt

I was in Paris over New Years and noticed that the children were better dressed than most North Americans. And they have fabulous clothing stores for kids all over the place.

Come to Spain one day, you’ll find great styles too. Each city is totally different from one another.

so from the comments I’ve read…his family is apparently well off? I like the structured streetwear. And he’s so young…

Coolest kid ever? He’s stunning and his style is impeccable.

I sincerely hope that he does not get robed. Expensive things make me nervous on crowded streets.

Coolest. T-shirt. Ever. Is that Jesus as a Card Suite king? xD Would love to know the brand…

I’m obsessed with the murse! (man-purse) This trend is really picking up.

this lad is too cool for school……although the clenched fingers give him away…nice to see a hint of vulnerability in one so young~the tee rocks…beautiful boy~
great shot.

Pierre Hardy’s on his feet?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! Where does a young Parisian get that kind of money?!?! The shirt is nice too. Very bold.

this guy has oodles of attitude….. very amusing ….. llllllllllllooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeedddddd it

girls at school must love him :) great t-shirt

I wonder if he is just holding his Mum’s handbag?

Pierre Hardy Shoes….I’m so jealous…great style…sad expression… why people can smile :)

He resembles an adolescent Agyness Deyn

COOL LE CHIC!!

I love this kid. How he can has so much style??

I am in love. He’s gorgeous.

Katariina.

The Diane Arbus comments prompted me to go back and look a the (Arbus) image again.
I happened on the Proof Sheet. The famous angst-filled shot is the Only one on the sheet where it’s not just a happy kid frolicking in the park and hamming it up!
And as someone said earlier: This Paris kid “rocks”

i have those too

He’s like 4 years younger than me, pretty impressive with the PH sneakers there.

im probably only a few years older than him and im living in a fashion-barren place, the kids my age wear flip flops and berms.
got to love the style and attitude i wish i was in paris! i’d probably have fallen for him a few years back! the broody rockstar type.
WITH AWESOME SHOES, BTW, so envious of the rich.

effortless.

Oh, the boy in the Photo is called Charles Guislain and he is 17, not 14 =) Very cool picture! I Love it!

killer style!!
