post a commenti envy how nonchalant they are... envy. =)
I adore the picture though. Where was this taken?
Cool trainers - limited edition PH...
a lot of style for his age ...
Cute bcbg... Ok so no offense to the lad but this means I'm officially over the Pierre Hardy sneaks (in this color scheme at least). Lucky kid.
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.'
who in the world buys their 12 year old a pair of pierre hardy shoes?
Now i remember my childhood years on him :)
Great elements, such as Pierre Hardy shoes, Dior Homme bag, and i suppose Vivienne Westwood sweater, but look himself, is weird.
this young parisian is wearing one of the 500 pairs pierre hardy's that have been distributed worldwide... NOICE
Love the t-shirt. Love the kicks!
Luv
Poochie
TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!!!!
Woaw. Want to be adopted by his parents. :-)
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
This kid is loaded. Pierre hardy shoes? Way to go parents!
Wish i wasn't a broke college kid.
That is one cool kid. Suspect he'd have the undefinable "it" even without the limited edition footwear...
this is the greates pic you've posted in ages!
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?
Diane Arbus - Boy with the toy hand grenade.
What is in the water there?? Even the kids have so much style!
Future front man for the next wave of indie rock.
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.
A model ?
If not - he will be .
Do they have a Parisian Ecouter class offered in day care to these kids?!?!?! He looks GREAT.
is this a boy or a girl?
this is what it would be like if i can be 13 again but knowing what i know now about fashion.
The light just seems to better in Paris!
A great photoshoot... with a great teenage model.
Youth with actual style is something special.
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.
Piere Hardy, Dior Homme and Vivienne Westwood?
some kids get all the luck
i didn't see anyone that amazingly dressed when i was in paris! i guess we went to all of the wrong places!
He looks like he could use a skateboard...love the face.
what a pouty face - the boys in training
do we think the twelve year old is grumpy because his pierre hardy tennies just went on sale at colette for 80% off, and now all his petit amis will have them as well? quelle dommage!
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.
No way, how old is this kid? Pierre Hardy sneakers? This is awesome.
kiddie chic
Egads! I wonder what his classmates think.
I'm a little astounded. He's a little bit of genius with his color arrangements.
It's all well and good . . .but that's one expensive sole, pun intended - come on, he's how old and his entire outfit most likely costs more than my parents would pay as a ransom for me from any would-be kidnappers. I'm only a few years older than him, he kind of makes me glad that i had a childhood without fashion. . . living in the sticks, and not paris
then again, he does look good . . . lol, it's the fashion-progressive 12 year old! a rare thing
this is so perfect.
I love how his clothes fit.
why do american boys insist on clothing that is 10 sizes too big?!?
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.
Love the card print on the t-shirt. Pierre Hardy shoes on a 12-year-old? What is the world coming to? Still, if I could've convinced my parents to buy me a pair of PH shoes when I was 12 I would have been psyched. Good for him!
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?
...le petit prince, as a rebel teen. =)
nice attitude.
rich kid ... but if i had the money and the kids, i'll propably do the same.
i think the trainers are Lanvin
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)
nice kid
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.
Look at the attitude on that. Gotta love it...
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*
It's in the 6th somewhere - I'd say rue Lobineau. Very 'rive gauche' ; )
There's not a single young boy in the US who would have the chic to proudly walk around with a bag. Much respect to this fellow.
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.
Daring darling fellow, please PLEASE do start sharing your insights and inspirations with your loyal readerhip again! As much as I enjoy the visuals, they're only enriched by the tales you have to tell. Your observations always serve to enhance the image, and sometimes your thoughts help me re-examine my own opinion of the sartorial moment.
I wish I were like him when I was his age!
Cool Style!
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!
Aw.
-- desertwind
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!
I realize this is the Sartorialist and not the Tonsorialist, but that kid's hair is hella scary; he reminds me of Moe from the Three Stooges.
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).

he just sunned every LES crawling hipster tween out there. plus he probably speaks three languages at a minimum.
such a ROCKSTAR! Love the Tshirt
This look fits his young age and he's quite fashionable, I actually like it
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.
ohhhh he probably wears the same shoe size as me! damn you, chic parisian kid, for making me jealous of your amazing pierre hardy sneakers! Haha, it's a great picture, though.
Come to Spain one day, you'll find great styles too. Each city is totally different from one another.
used to like those shoes, but ive seen them too much. but you have to respect parisians b/c no 12 yr old in the US could look as natural in that style.
so from the comments I've read...his family is apparently well off? I like the structured streetwear. And he's so young...
All that money spent on designer shoes and clothes just to look like the headbangers that hang around the bus station in my little burgh? Not working for me.
Coolest kid ever? He's stunning and his style is impeccable.
dang I'm speechless, so stylish for his age. <3
I sincerely hope that he does not get robed. Expensive things make me nervous on crowded streets.
Something I'd wear casually, to do casual things. :)
Coolest. T-shirt. Ever. Is that Jesus as a Card Suite king? xD Would love to know the brand...
superb
I'm obsessed with the murse! (man-purse) This trend is really picking up.
wow. is he 12? love the kicks.
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.
love the attitude
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.
My goodness, what an angel! From where did he descend?
this guy has oodles of attitude..... very amusing ..... llllllllllllooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeedddddd it
Youthful insouciance...although I wonder if he manages to pick it all out himself or if he has a switched on mama who does it for him. Someone has to pay the credit card people and hunt down those kicks!
girls at school must love him :) great t-shirt
so sweet!!
I wonder if he is just holding his Mum's handbag?
This dude is killing me here. Just stunning.
Pierre Hardy Shoes....I'm so jealous...great style...sad expression... why people can smile :)
he looks too tall and his face looks too developed to be twelve, i'm sure he's sixteen or seventeen
He resembles an adolescent Agyness Deyn
how in the world does he afford these things??
COOL LE CHIC!!
he´s so cool for his age! Paris is probably the only city in the world where you can find as cool kids as this one!
Thanks, Garry. I love that song!
This kid's got it.
Great look.
Is he a toyboy?
Or a model ?
Or just a kid with rich parents.
Ihatechu and your Pierre Hardy, Vivienne and Dior goodness. I'm 15 and the only designer I have is freaking Paul Smith.
Check out that attitude on him! He's practically a pop icon in the making. It's just a shame that he clearly had to spend truckloads of money just to look like that, and at such a young age, too.
brilliant!
i'm sure that is the coolest kid i've ever seen.
and GOD, Pierre Hardy, Westwood, Dior? and how old is he, twelve?
i envy him more.
Who said he's twelve. Who said he's a he?
I usually get in trouble for misjudging people's ages but I'm guessing this person is older than 12.
Look how the eyebrows are groomed. As the mum of a 14 year old boy I know NONE who are this into fashion and who groom their brows.
Okay, so he's rich.
But do we really have to dissect his outfit so much and drag out really how wealthy he is?
He has an undeniable je ne se quois that no amount of money could buy; the kid would be hella chic in secondhand too.
And anon 8:37 got it totally right, same look as Arbus's "Boy With Toy Hand Grenade" perhaps minus the A.D.D.
I find this look very confusing. I realize I like the photo itself, but I find the look to be somehow just wrong. The enthusiastic comments puzzle me. I do find the kid to "have something special" indeed, but for some mysterious reason it just doesn't include his outfit. Something to do with the discrepancy between his lovely, melancholy expression and those clothes that seem to be striving so hard to achieve some level of cool... It does make for a great photo indeed in my opinion, but not for an inspiration.
i think you should do a documentary on this boy, starting right now. i cannot wait to see where he is in 5, 10 years! go!!!
absolutely fantastic shot.
My guess is he's older than 13 and has borrowed some of those clothes (shoes, bag, cardi) from his mum or older brother/sister. I bet his mum/dad is the owner of a Colette-type store or a fashion editor or some-such. Someone who has easy access to designer stuff or gets big discounts. But that's just a guess. I actually love how everyone's speculating and making assumptions about him. Even though we all know not to judge on appearances, we still do! Cos it's fun, no?
I'm glad most of the commenters are more intrigued rather than disapproving of a young boy in expensive clothes. I know it's un-PC but my opinion is, as long as it looks good, what does it matter?!
Just because he has all these expensive things doesn't necessarily mean he is rich, those things may be the only expensive designer things he has. I'm a 15-year-old boy and i have a Burberry scarf and a Burberry wallet and i am in no way "rich". Anyway he looks great. :)
MANNYPANX (moneypunk). Non-the-less he has a great style.
He intrigues me. A little far on the skinny side, but boys in their teens go through the weirdest stages of growth. He's unexpectedly classy. How he affords those, or even picked them out...lucky.
He's like the coolest kid ever
If he's wearing Pierre Hardy and Dior now, what has he got left to wear when he's older ?! nothing to look forward to!
THIS IS SOOOOOOO MODERN!!! I love it. Shut up with those Pierre Hardys (Hardies?). Not too sure about the purse though, but who knows, in about two years full blown man purses will probably be in style in the states.
i really love the blog and i think this was one of the best pics ever!
he's so young but has a lot of style! LOVE IT for a say 12, 13 years old!
i wish i was that stylish!
and his looks are so strong..go for it kid!
I love this kid. How he can has so much style??
He's such a sweetheart.. Very fashionable at a young age! I wish I live in Paris!
this little dude might have a stylist or ought to be a stylist.
Superb!
Adorable. I hope to have a son as stylish and effortlessly cool.
I am in love. He's gorgeous.
Katariina.
A Swede in Paris! Fantastic!
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"
that kid must be 12 or 13! If only the rest of humanity could take fashion and make it their own like him.
i have those too
I WANT the t-shirt! So neat! I have never seen such a kitschily cool tee!
He's like 4 years younger than me, pretty impressive with the PH sneakers there.
i can honestly say that his face is more interesting tha his outfit..woudl love to see him in something smart and classic.
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.
I wish I dressed like this when I his age. Full of angst.
effortless.
damn..i have no comments..
Oh, the boy in the Photo is called Charles Guislain and he is 17, not 14 =) Very cool picture! I Love it!
Isn´t he a friend of brianboy? He´s all over his blogg.
