That's just beautiful! Unreasonable is in the eye of the beholder.
p.s. Scarves.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:28 AM) : 

That is a beautiful scarf. Does anyone know wherr it is from? This gentleman looks like the actor that plays Doogie Howser.

 

Blogger Butch said ... (9:40 AM) : 

Unreasonably beautiful, certainly, but also unreasonably long, in my not-so humble etc.

But I like the rest, and particularly the neck-scarf, which adds a real flourish.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:51 AM) : 

it looks like an Indian (from India....) silk print..... normally worn by women, but he pulls it off with panache

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:16 AM) : 

is it a scarf? a blanket? or maybe un rideaux?

 

Blogger Pindar said ... (11:26 AM) : 

I like how the scarf lines up with the pillars in the background...whether you intended that or not, it's very Antonioni! Nice shot.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:39 AM) : 

victor (or rolf) has wee bit long scarf, but the texture and color seems to be compensating the length. what's important is that the shot works, as always.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:13 PM) : 

I like the shawl-collared coat!

 

Blogger Sissy said ... (1:19 PM) : 

I love those colours!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:33 PM) : 

Did anyone notice that the listing on the right side of page says "Unreasonably beautiful scar..."? It strikes me that scars are unreasonably beautiful. Poetry in truncation!

 

Blogger Jack Daniel said ... (2:04 PM) : 

He looks like Victor...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:30 PM) : 

Fit for a king, that is.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:09 PM) : 

Viktor & Rolf's long-lost, more conservative partner.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:10 PM) : 

all around the neck! I adore...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:44 PM) : 

this is an indian design. my mum had a few of them... mostly silk. its a woman's scarf...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:21 AM) : 

yes, it's an indian scarf, and men wear it in india on special occasions. It is made of silk (kanchivaram). very thick silk brocade. it looks faboulos on this gentleman

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:46 AM) : 

It seems more like an Asian (Indian/ Pakistani) shawl -- the Paisley motif is typically Asian; the color scheme, the length of the material, the horizontal design bordering the motifs, the little threads left loose at the end suggests that it's a shawl. (Also, notice the the fold and the way it rests on the shoulder.) Though am not sure if it's Pashmina Shawl.

The scarfs/ stoles (popularly known as 'dupatta') that Indian women wear are slightly different in form and design.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:36 AM) : 

Yeah, the "scarf's" from India...though it's not a scarf but rather a shawl. A shawl is longer coz it's meant to be wrapped around you and keep you warm. This one's probably a Kashmiri pashmina...delighfully warm and soft.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:17 AM) : 

I'm not digging it. It's just too big.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:51 AM) : 

as an abstract design object it's very nice

but as a scarf it's way way way too big, not just on this guy but on anyone under, say, 8 ft tall.

 

Blogger Jeanette said ... (8:26 AM) : 

not a fan of the look, clash of brown colors, I think its boring. the scarf seemed abit too long for him as well, lack of good proportions.

 

Blogger Jeanette said ... (8:29 AM) : 

cute, but so chic and modern. Wonder where her coat is from. This girl could be a modern american version of little red riding hood.

 

Blogger dnqcnn said ... (12:57 PM) : 

VIKTOR!
did he get rid of rolf? :O

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:45 PM) : 

He does look ALOT like Rolf Snoeren, but this gentleman is at least a decade older.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:34 PM) : 

I agree his scarf is perfect and I love the colours

 

Blogger Blue Floppy Hat said ... (1:39 AM) : 

Lovely scarf indeed.... though I personally think the shot looks even better for having that particular building behind the gentleman in question.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:48 AM) : 

he looks like he should join Victor & Rolf....could fit right in.

 

Blogger hassan1 said ... (7:55 AM) : 

This shawl is from Pakistan and is called Pashmina Chawder,it can range from $50 to $1500.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (5:58 AM) : 

It is an Indian shawl...the 'mango' shape embroidery is truly Indian...ask an friend coming down to India to get you one such shawl...you get it in most good handicraft emporiums.
The gentleman carries this one off beautifully in the pic! Even women can wear it over a plain tee and a skirt or pants.
