On The Street........That Tee, Those Glasses, Manhattan
Carine Roitfeld and Olivier Lalanne asked me to shoot Fall '08 sunglasses for Vogue Homme International on real men that I found on the streets of New York.
On the second day of shooting I almost fell over when I saw this guy crossing Madison Ave. wearing that tee.
What a perfect thing to wear for a shot of sunglasses.
Anyway, this is my favorite shot of that story that will be available here in the US any day now.

post a commentthat tee is so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! so realistic in a surrealistic way.
Wow. Just wow. There is nothing of the traditional fashion canon that he applauds but he expresses such an attitude!
What a cute T-shirt.Would even be ok without the necklace.
one word - Awesome!
What model/brand are these glasses according to you, readers ?
I like the shades, and the tee is cute. I don't like the necklace though...
Necklace...or Prayer Beads? Either way- it's a brilliant shot/look!
kismet baby, kismet. perfect.
--haapi
Adorable!
Proving that there IS a god(dess), such that one can look and have delivered this superior item for photographing.
It's the chain, though, that "finishes" the look, and adds a wonderful dollop of the "look-twice" surreal.
yes but...he's cheating.

The guy's fashion sense and humor is perfection.
what a grqat photo!! love that t-shirt.. so you are till in NYC.. thought I'd find you over in London for the fashion week ;)
That was the hardest I've laughed at a t-shirt ever. Would using that picture in an add incur any sort of problems from where ever that shirt came from? I'd love to see that shot used somewhere.
It's his smile that makes the tee that much more realistic...the proud papa grin.
Great shot.
Will u post the other pics to can't wait to chreck them out
does anyone know where that tee shirt is from its amazing
So whimsy in fashion isn't dead? This guy is having fun and it is most certainly a good look.
really cool..t shirt and sunglasses !!
hahah
Perfection. Handsome, hilarious. I am at a loss for words to describe how delightful I find this picture. It is the ideal showcase for the glasses, and yet it is also an antidote to those who can sometimes take fashion too seriously. I hope editors, stylists, and designers will continue to be schooled by this site. ;-)
Brilliant! Just brilliant...
Best. Shirt. Ever.
Priceless. I love how the necklace frames the "baby"'s face.
damn cool!
i had to look twice! ;.)
This is a great shot, Sart, from a purely technical point of view. However, I just don't see the attraction. Nothing personal, but I would cross the street to avoid someone wearing that tee and those glasses.
Wow! That almost looks like he is actually carrying a baby! :)
Made me laugh out loud. Great tee, even better expression.
Brilliant! I laughed out loud. A sunnily sly comment on the current Manhattan fashion accessory de rigueur: the baby in the Bjorn.
The necklace is smart because it's truly 3-dimensional, which, sitting on top of the trompe l'oeil image of the baby, makes the piece of jewelry more 'real' than the baby.
Very intelligent, sharp but friendly.
25 EUROS TO ANYONE WHO CAN NAME, IDENTIFY AND CONFIRM WHERE THAT BRILLIANT T-SHIRT CAN BE BOUGHT AND WHIC BRAND IT IS!!? BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!
ITS REALLY QUITE INGENIOUS AND I WANT TO HAVE IT COME WHAT MAY!!
-HOGAN-
PS.
NOT AT ALL OVERLY KEEN ON THE CHAPS ´PRAYER´ BEADS THOUGH, I HASTEN TO ADD!!!
That's hilarious.
It would be more ironic and socio-political if he wasn't of Euro-descent, actually. Like a Benetton ad gone haywire.
Still, cute pic of a cute dude.
mltt
i LOVE the t-shirt, and i agree, what luck finding him to model sunglasses! good job!
I actually thought this was a real baby and you had diversed into diper style! Both freaky and awesome. I want it.
I wonder if that is a photo of his own baby? Or if those are commercially available t-shirts. It's great.
glasses might be Cazals. hope they don't become a trend. because they rule.
Where did he get that shirt? I want that so bad
Who makes this t-shirt? It's extraordinary.
Very cool!! I like it very much and have never seen somthing like this before!
The whole thing is amazing. I love it! Not to mention the hot man who's wearing it. ;)
I love a man with a sense of humor.
the tee is by Paul Frank. as for where to buy it...Paul Frank stores will sell items over the phone.
He must know what a turn on a man carrying a baby is for so many women!
whaaaa cool!
absolutely love it!
those glasses are great too,, man cant find any style near that here in amsterdam (only pretenders)
I wanna have his glasses.
My life would be more perfect.
:)
It's a Paul Frank Tee. The baby is actually my daughter. She's almost 2 now. I love it!
Okay I saw a guy at my University that had the exact same shirt on today. One of the funniest shirts I've ever seen, what is the story behind the shirt and where is it from??
That shirt is fantasic...
the tshirt is from paul frank. if you're in new york, there's a store on mulberry st.
what an awesome sense of humor!!
I would marry this dude only for his sense of humor...
lol... almost fell of the chair and it indeed cheered up the day. it's simply fantabulous.
What an absolute find of a tee! And isn't it amazing how his necklace goes with the graphics??
"Om mani padma hum" to the darlin' Buddhas among us!
-- desertwind
Would be even cooler if Paul Frank custom makes those shirts using an image of your own kid.
Unless that is the point and I've missed it :D
hahaha he is quirky. what a t shirt! made me do a double take!
Another magic moment
Makes Me Smile
Tee-KID is a Great Idea
A string of offbeat-Teesand shades
In off beat places
would be a great fashion shoot
That is my roommate and he robs all his t-shirts.
The t-shirt is from paul frank.. I have the same shirt, it always draws attention.. I think the shirt is from a limited collection 'cause I've never seen this shirt on anyone else but.. I got it from Finland though.
u'r favourite shot and my favourite tee!! :)
Funny and sharp and looking great!
I know a series of t-shirt very similar to the one posted here, they're from Red Dot on superflydelux
hilarious!! i've passed this photo on to everyone in the office and it has made our day!
the tee was purchased at Blackbird in Seattle
OMG, I love it! Original! Fun! Great sense of humor!
Brilliant capture.
Surprisingly beautiful, funny, cute,such humour!
perfect....
perfect T-shirt..
i think the glasses are louis vuitton. they are originally sunglasses. it looks like he got the lenses removed and replaced with prescription lenses. smart.
so awesome. i was just considering trompe l'oeil as a possible fashion trend the other day (don't ask me where that came from). and the necklace is a smart accessory. whoever said they'd cross the street to avoid him- who could be scared of a man with such a sense of humor and coy grin?? one certainly couldn't have a normal day wearing something like this.
also, am i the only other person who reads most of the comments before posting? i highly suggest doing so, before asking a question that's been previously posted and answered seven other times :)
This is what new york fashion is all about. Induvidual style, and humor with such a creative edge. This young man doesn't have to speak a word about his ideas and viewpoints. He gets it and ignores it at the same time. He needs to be at some of these boring dreadful magazines that could use a fresh approach
Awwwwww.....that is just gorgeous. Definitely one of my faves from your blog Sart - brought a big smile to my face :oD
perfect!
does anyone know the make/model of these glasses?
CUTE TEE! :)
