At Marc by Marc Jacobs
I'm trying to figure out how to say how well done i think this is but it just keeps sounding dumb so I will stop typing now.

Comments on "At Marc by Marc Jacobs"
He looks great ... it's looks complicated but so so simple ... who is he? he looks familiar ...
The cardigan, shirt, look very polished. But he looks goth...for some reason...maybe the hair and the rosary..goth going to catholic school. Good sartorial structure, but not on him.
A picture is worth 1,000 words. This picture is a lovely example of the reason why this is so.

So perfect. The pure white and pearl tones are so nice to see in the Fall, and the lighthanded accents of the necklace, garters and bagstrap make this look ethereal.
looks to boyish to me. besides, the mega slim trend and to short jackets are a bit over the top at the moment.
When is that trend over, sart?

The success of this has, I think, to do with the cleverness of the "composition": the diagonal of the strap against the half-oval of the collar and necklace; the horizontal bands on the sleeves, reiterated by the top of the pants...the eye keeps dancing around: very pleasing!
He does look a little too sensitive/totured soul for his own good.
Maybe winter?
Although, rumor has it winter in NYC will turn your blood to ice. Maybe not all that practical.
Something about this just says monastery to me. He looks extremely gothy.
The picture is beautiful though.
i really like the accesories. i am calmed by his colour choice. hes beautiful.
it looks great! he looks soooo calm with his outfit, maybe a little too much. but still; nice work.
Seems to be a mix between Prada and Jil Sander. The collar of the shirt could be just a little bit longer ... I am wondering what kink of shoes he waers ... hopefully no sneakers ;-)
Ciao.
Eck. I don't like. A costume. I much prefer your shots of "normal" people, heading to and from work, who manage to do so while looking great. This is too fashiony, too thought out.
I think he pulls off the long hair and cardigan look beautifully.
i wish i could see the bag. and does he have some sort of leather band around the sweater's sleeves?
A bit too modelly for me...
this might be a bit of a strange question, but i don't know where else to ask it; does anyone know what the songs played at this show were?
Pieces of it are working for me like the slim cut pant but the buttoned up collar is too circa 1984 for my taste.
I just found the show schedule: http://firstview.com/showschedules/2007/newyorkspring2007.html
I would love to see Zac Posen and what Calvin Klein is up to.
It is the necklace thing that puts me off. And somehow it emphasises his narrow physique. Fine but not to my taste. Like the hair though. Very well, English looking,
That's a guy?
This is very Prada last season or whatever but who cares. He looks cool and distinctive. Love those sleeve garters (?). The little necklace, skinny bag strap, it's also so delicate, but I think that's what he's going for. A little androgny never hurt anyone.
I love his look. What is around his forearms? Those black things?
I like it!!!!I like how he accessorizes...this look will be so so if it weren't for the rosary and those black straps (I don't even know what it is) on the cardigan and how the design of the bag's strap look across his chest. All of the accessories that he use are minimalistic and not over the top which really compliments the more quiet things in this outfit. AND I'm not sure if anyone thought about it but...doesn't he look like a blonde Olivier Theyskens?
my bf and i have been searching for more fitted mens dress shirts for him that aren't ridiculously expensive, could you recommend any brands?
he's a huge fan of zara shirts for men, but variety would be great!
One of Tolkien's elves in New York City.
His name is Olof Erlandsson. He's a swede.
More pictures of him:

You know, I don't WANT to like it. But I do. While he does look like he might have walked off a photo shoot that was taking itself way too seriously, it looks as if it genuinely suits him. I think that's why it's indescribable. It shouldn't work for me. But it does.
as noted, looks like goth prada
Love his style.. But the hair, scissors? anybody?
Yikes, lit - so now prada owns the rights to muted tones and a somber feel? Going to be a long forever here in NYC. Plenty of people wearing that 'feel' since well before FW05/06.
Chicken or the egg, and all that.
And I think (s)he looks great. My barber wears the same armbands.
Wow, garters on the sleeves. Unheard of in this day and age.
And never you mind, you said it all perfectly.
He's kinda got the androgynous look going on that has been prevalent in the recent fashion ads, except it's usually the females who resemble male features.
The androgony of the model dominates the frame - it overshadows the threads.
Too Mia Farrell
So to all the swedes out there ... who is orloff erlandsson?
i think this boy looks soft like a noddle.
I love his look, not too "done" at all. He looks like a Vermeer painting. I don't usually like long hair on men, but on him it looks natural.
Is he a model?
That's a necklace, not a rosary.
Iiiihh! That's one of my best friends! He looks beautiful, as always!
O- va kul att man skulle hitta dig här!
okay....i don't know what to think...i had to look at the pic several times to figure out that he was a guy...i hope he is a guy...or she has no chest...
he's prettier than me!! he reminds me of the vampire lestat in the 21st century that just came from a prada show.
either way he look good
I agree. The British Monastic Vampire.
Don't know if you were aware, but you made a sneak appearance in a pic with Leslie Fremar and Julianne Moore at the Rag & Bone show.

the allure of goth...in white
I can see how from a "fashion" point of view this looks good, but I think if I saw this guy on the street I would think he looked...odd.
reminds me of someone from Lord of the Rings
My friends usually call me the Marc girl...so it seems I have found a long lost brother...
also a nice Prada touch...
Yes, he´s an urban Elfo.
It is a gorgeous photograph, a great outfit, super detail-- and I am impressed by your loss of words.
Love it!
you only see a bit of them, but his pants are great.
A fully buttoned up collar makes me think of that freaky Karr guy now. Another guy the other day did manage to full off the buttoned color, but because he looked really happy.
This is obviously the guy's look, and he pulls it off, but he makes think of an elf from LOTR forced into 1950s wear against his will!
I really like this look. The accessories really make it pop.
Ännu mer svenskar :D
I agree with City Slicker that this guy looks English. He reminds me of a young Julian Sands (actor). Can also see the LOTR elf look too.
Back in my college years, he would've been my dream date. Now I say, lose the hair or lose the outfit to avoid looking like a cliché. And yet I can't help but think of the "tragically" lost blond appeal of Orlando Bloom. The boy is delicious and has good taste, the photo just amplifies it.
he looks very sweet, she male maybe thats why you can't discride his look in words, or maybe you have a boy crush?
He´s from stockholm, sweden. And I can tell you, he´s always lookin that great...
He looks like a girl. It's just too feminine for me.
From Sweden and name's Olof, he works in fashion, mostly with styling and public relation....
Nice. I've never seen these references before. On the one hand it says 1969 California, on the other hand east coast ivy league, on the third hand [heh, heh] slightly femme...great. he looks like a poet
mmmm,,donno..He wears nice clothes but i find him too female ... mabe i'm wrong..but still he is in style-but too "wool jacket soft male"
yup, he´s Swedish, I see him walking the streets of Stockholm sometimes. I think he works as a stylist. He should.
That's Olof! He's really nice. Everyone in Sweden looks as beautiful as he does! love Stockholm love.
he´s all dressed in a swedish brand called filippa k, such beutiful boy and clothes
Is he a model?
I guess so because the outfit seems to me like the grunge style of Marc Jacobs.
love it. he's swedish. they have a great sense of style in sweden.
Perfect.
I love the chain over the shirt idea.. I must try this..
http://rickyjamesflynn.blogspot.com/
he looks amazing.
very well placed look.
the chain could look out of place but i think there is a good balance here
im jealous
He has some kind of perfect shape or object arrangement about him. Everything is positioned perfectly.
He looks like some kind of forest elf, pulled from the dark, moist, mossy depths and transformed into a modern urban elf of light.
The only thing i don't like is the necklace..apart from that he has made a great cobination of clothes and colours.And he is really goodlooking too!
