post a commentBeing creative and dare on proportions is not easy for men I guess, so that's remarkable =)
I want to like it, but he just looks like a turtle to me...
love the pants, socks, and shoes... but I am NOT a fan of the turtle shell jacket. Ruins the entire look... shame.
i love the concept - but i wonder what happens when he sits down?
Wow what an odd look but such an appropo name! Shell back/tortoise back! So very unflattering really! :-)
I love his tortoise shell sunglasses! Are those vintage Polaroid? They look really cool! :)
Hm...I've seen this man before. I can't remember where. I like his socks and shoes!
Love the socks!!!
He makes me reminisce Paul Weller as The Style Council. So cool!
Expose those socks young man!!!
fashion can be a joke...
i concur with jfk jean, it's all in the details/little things. et j'adore the subtlety of his socks.
not sure about the jacket but the socks and the sunglasses are really cool.
I'd like to see how it moves when you walk
Yet again, socks with shoes. Looovvee iiiit.
One usually doesn't see a dude wearing such a silhouette. Way to switch it up!
His sock game is tight.
A coat that will keep you warn even over your backpack. brilliant.
I guess I'm not into the shellback. However, those socks are killer! I want a pair, RIGHT NOW!
I love this. And, what I love most is the hem of the pant and the socks and the shoes...glorious.
I LOVE this jacket! its Balenciaga right? if only more designers took more risks with their mens lines.
If you're going to wear high water you better have nice socks.
really like the proportions. and yes, the socks are great
I hope that this results from the wind catching and inflating the coat. Otherwise, I hope the police check him for a backpack - or a bomb.
Nice socks.
Those socks are killer!
thats how futurism is looking in real life)
Love the socks !
In fact, I love the whole silhouette !
It's like a modern twist on "Madmen".
those socks ruin the whole look
I like it all.
if i like or dislike not matter because this man is impervious to judgment. any gentleman daring enough to shoe his hosiery( i love that phrase - men's hosiery) and rock that coat tells us all that we, ' just don't know.'
work!
but stop smoking - it's killing you!
He can afford Balenciaga.
I feel like the proportions of the coat with the rest of the look would be hard to pull off for most men, but he does so fairly well! I really love the pants with the socks and the shoes!
It's rare that I look at one of Sart's shots and can't find anything I like. This is totally unsexy IMO.
This is great! for men who complain menswear is less diverse and interesting than womenswear this must inspire you to play with silhouette, no or rather, non?
I like bugs, sometimes their beautiful and best viewed from a distance. He looks like a bug. He gets The Best Socks Ever award.
Kafkaesque..
The redemption of Gregor Samsa.
Smoking is only cool in Paris.
I love the shoot & the Alain Delon Allure present in this man, but the Coat; only fits for "Le Bossu de Notre Dame" .. I Like not ..
I think it's an interesting silhouette and he's right, proportionally, to pair the coat with the narrow pants and sleek shoes. Yes, the shoes and socks are great. I also love the touch of pastel shirt showing, a nice reminder that it's spring!
Every component is on super-drive. The socks, of course, totally rock!
The cut of the pants, the shoes, the white under-garment peaking out at the top... they all strongly support the jacket. Is this a trial balloon for some future jacket silhouette? That's my take. It looks very futuristic. And will only really work for very, very skinny guys. Like him.
In the perfection of this picture, this guy looks like a human version of a sleek black Porsche.
Cool shot!
i love this picture!!!
mikyscloset.blogspot.com
He looks like a turtle - in the best way possible!!
I would kill for those socks!!
Even though I'm not a fan of the coat, he pulls it off pretty well.
Finally! A balance of the too-small (the pants) with the too large (the jacket). A nice look, compared to the too-small jackets layered over one another until nothing fits or drapes or looks comfortable. Great look.
And I LOOOOVE those socks. Nice touch.
Teenage Smoking Prada Turtle?
I thought it was because the wind was blowing.
The socks and shoes ROCK! I find it whimsical how his posture (neck to hips to feet is "S" shape) is inverse relationship to the "C" shape of his coat. And while I want to say I would be so daring I kind of think the coat makes him look like he is "reverse pregnant", never a sexy thing. Maybe if he stood up straighter...
Thanks for the fun Sart! What would the dreary rainy days of early Spring be without your lightness?
I love the silhouette so dramatic and sculptural, and the socks are just genius!!
supercool picture! love the sillhouette :p
This jacket would look great in an editorial spread. It is interesting to see it on the street -- this whole look works for me. If one has the confidence and attitude, one call pull most anything off.
A similar shape as the Kimono for Japanese women, but in this case service little purpose than for shape.
I believe this chic jeune homme is sporting socks by Paul Smith, seeing as I have a pair identical to his pair. If they are the same, they have a rockin' red border around the top and the toes. Love this silhouette, as well. C'est completement parisian!
looks a lot like my winter coat from Acne, albeit more exaggerated. I like that he took a risk, no matter how slight.
makes him look 'slouchy.'
So much of mainstream women's fashion as of late is about the sculptured silhouette. So it's so interesting and cool to see this on a man. I love the swith-up.
i LOVE this Balenciaga jacket! i've had a photoshoot from ID magazine on my wall with the model wearing it for about a year now. such an interesting silhouette. big fan.
the socks MAKE this outfit divine!
and of course,the silhouette.
I love how his socks are just the pop of color!
poofy, sort of. But it works for him, I guess. Stop smoking, dude!
The ensemble is interesting, but I don't think his body proportions pull it off very well. However, the detail of the patterned socks, and the the white collar peeking out of the coat are nice touches.
This is a great shot! I like a man who dares to try sth different and is not afraid to show it off. The jacket is very charming!
Awww, he looks like a cute little turtle! ♥
its Tim clifton- green from LOVE that i love the shape of the jacket so fluid looking but so stiff at the same time and those socks are just amazing
I love that with a super skinny pant you can tell that beneath the shell that's hiding the rest of his body, he is quite thin. Who would've though you could look skinner by being engulfed in fabric! Then again, Mary Kate has been doing that for years... regardless, this look is fabulous!
Chic, ladies 60's silhouette but sharp AS. trouser skimming ankle at just the right spot.
Love that he's wearing patterned socks, as well as showing them! I'm not too sure about the jacket though...I'm kinda half and half.
point of views:
fashion... definitely
fashion-able... eh, probably not
photography... HELL YES!! Great [shot] Scott! haha
(oh and i agree with Dave 9.43am: sunnies are awesome)
i love balenciaga menswear
He kinda looks like Lucy and Ethel in Paris--fashion victim. I like the socks, but his pants are too short.
The Coat looks like one of the designs of René Storck. At the moment he has a campaing in the German Vogue. The female model wears a similar coat.
Jérôme
Super Mario meets Pierre Cardin.
i loke tooo muchh these jacket its sooo furutisticoo
gregor samsa!
overkill
jadore
suit ponchos. what's next?
awesome socks.
Reminds me of being back in grade school when kids would wear their coats over top of their book bags.
balenciaga, without a doubt.
trouser length isn't just fashionable it also SUITS him... often a forgotten point.... the jacket I love but fear it's watered down imitations that will ineveitably follow.. this example is pin sharp- focused on the pitch and balance... it can only be achieved this way!
Why is everybody hating so zealously? He looks amazing and that coat probably cost a grip. Besides, is HE looking at YOU on the most prophetic fashion blog ever? Hmm...didn't think so.
sooooooo cool. so cool.
Malik, I agree. Why are so many against the shape of the jacket? It's so beautiful and you can see the perfection in the construction from here. What are the other options? A black jacket from Topshop? The jacket, I repeat, is just beautiful.
And the simple detailing in the socks. Love.
I absolutely Love the coat, It's amazing to actually see a piece like this on the street, and I don't see it as a joke, menswear needs to be more progressive! I love Balenciaga, and this gentleman here just made my season.
what an interesting cut for a jacket
haughttieee
Beatle! He is Franz Kafka's Metomorphosis embodied!!
I like the socks but the jacket has a way of bringing back into my mind what Oscar Wilde once said about fashion! "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months"
I love the top half but the trousers are too skinny for my mind. I want him to break ALL the rules and go for old man slacks...then he can blow away into the sky and be a dream boat.
large, extra large, poncho.
socks are from polo ralph lauren- have them too- theyre cool :-)
The coat is a Balenciaga wool coat by Ghesquiére and the silhouette can be seen in the early work of Balenciaga. It is a lovely coat and a work of art and not just some simple shell jacket. You should be ashamed.
John Christopher said..."Reminds me of being back in grade school when kids would wear their coats over top of their book bags."
That's exactly what it reminded me of... except sometimes I still do it when it's pouring with rain and I don't want to get my backpack wet while riding my motorbike!
I must make myself a sign that reads "in the manner of Balenciaga" to stick on my back and distract from the fashion disgrace.
OMG, L.O.V.E. that coat!!!
Bravo!
Very beetle-esque and apropos of Gregor Samsa in the Metamorphosis.
How rare and refreshing! Someone who has not only understands the importance of color and texture, but of silhouette! The socks and glasses are perfection.
i love this outfit from balenciaga, i have the same
Interesting shape. Not good, but interesting ;)
j'adore
not a big fan of turtle thing
it looks like hes wearing extra large coat that was not tailored right. there's nothing "Artsy" about it honestly that looks weird. w.e i still like the pants and the shoes and the lil checks socks. and a cigarrtte ;)
i'm really not into this coat, but the socks are very nice.
I LOVE this look and the dude rocks it!! everything is perfecto.
