post a commentIs this a capture of a fashion shoot or just a very classy happy accident?
looks like an intriguing opening sequence of a film
wonderful shot!
The jacket is well-cut aroud the body although a bit too short to my taste and the trousers are simply too long. But what I like least is the way the tie is knotted - such a bland, straight knot is just boring.
I hate to say it, but the cigarette smoke makes the shot.
Bond, James Bond.
What a catch...eye contact in mid- stride. chic and masculine, with no clutter of a bag. Seems to be that perfect time of day when work is done and dinner/drinks are decided by the patio with most remaining rays of sun. Great Menswear...
amazing shot, perfect fit on the suit, spot on colors and the cuff links and pocket square are top notch
more men need to dress this way, it does look like a fashion shoot doesn't it?
is stefano the most featured person in your block, sart ?
well, not that he wouldn´t deserve it...
What a wonderful shot!
This might be my second comment here...I just liked the shot that much...even considered making it my destop wallpaper.
I like it. The suit, the fit, the tie's know. I like it all. It fits.
I think this shot is made by how the subject and the people around him are caught in the shot. As if they all callborated together and had prior knowledge of the moment to make it happen. Even the other people in the shot seem to be interesting subjects themselves.
This shot is amazing! I think we're all a sucker for a well dressed man, but I also quite love the blonde's hat...
what lucky - and cinematically stylish, happenstance!
You can't fault this except possibly for being a bit bland. Nice fit, I like the cufflinks, the shoes look as though they're nice. The pants do seem slightly too long. Surely he could liven up the tie- just a bit?
Too conservative for me but very well-done.
GREAT photo!
Fantastic shot. The gentleman looks great but the photo makes me want to know more about the woman. I can hear the soundtrack to this shot in my head! Great work.
looks like a movie still. perfect. he's striking in every way.
Notice the interesting fabric of the shirt, it is not even a plaid but it has some tiny squares about it. I like the suit, and I like the shoes, which are somewhat pointy without the extremes we have seen in the last couple of years. And yes, the cigarette smoke makes the pic. Jorge from W Palm Beach
This is one of your very best shots. I absolutely love it! I would put this one in the same category as the shot of the mother and daughter first row at fashion week. It's about more than clothes. It's just beautiful photography.
"...and... action!"
Now, that's a nice shot!
Amazing shot!
Jorge from W Palm Beach - Just wanted to let you know that your comments are one of the reasons I follow this blog!
Wow, great shot!!
great shot, really! love it! the hand, the cigarette, his look.. everything.
love the photo! great shot.
always with style,well done!!!
The italian james bond opening sequence. James Bond: You Can Never Get Enough of a Black Suit and Blue Tie Combo. Probably the longest movie title ever. Pretty cool photo. The guy is just standing there with no care of the action around him. Looking calm and cool waiting for the villain's next move with his mission in his hand.
This shot proves once again that skinny is the best accessory!
Fantastic shot. So cinematic. Near flawless.
Probably one of the most amazing photographs I've ever seen. And I spend hours looking through fashion photographs everyday. WOW! Just...WOW!
what a SHOT!
great shot mr sartorialist.
where can i find such a headband?
Scott,
First.... great shot. Its not just the smoke. Its the whole picture. That girl with the headband is great also! In connection with the smoke reminds me of the elegance of 20s-30s.
Second.....Mr Tonchi of course looks amazing. Any chance you can make his profile as you did for some other people? I wanna know who is his tailor. That suit is simply phenomenal.
Third... the only thing I am missing in that picture is a flower... cannot figure out where it outgh to be though.... I tend to be obssesed with flowers lately...
You're done. It simply doesn't get better than this.
Stefano looks like a soldier on the field of battle...
I am awestruck. How serendipitious can you get? Thank you, this is a stunning shot.
It looks too good to be true. I can't believe it isn't staged! I find the tie a bit ordinary and I think I'm more intrigued by the woman with the thing on her head.
This is from my fantasy world, where everyone is really well dressed.
The composition of the photo really is top-notch - the juxtaposition, layering truly communicate the 'scene.' It does look posed, except that the gent' in the center isn't posing at all. In fact he has a distinctively 'unmodel-like' expression on his face.
I enjoy this photo for its depth, but don't prefer the suit for the same reasons diederik noted. The jacket is a wee short, the pants a wee long, and the tie a wee bit "i-found-this-at-a-thrift-shop."
P E R F E C T
Another thought on the tie - I'm a fan of patterns and overlaying possibly conflicting patterns (on shirt/tie), but I've always heard the patterns ought to be of different scale (if your shirt has a large windowpane pattern, your tie ought to have a smaller, repeated pattern). Since the shirt and tie both have a similarly sized patterns, it appears kind of bland.
Keep the tie, but switch the shirt out for one with a larger windowpane-repeat, or even better - for a solid light-blue spread collar. Personal tastes dictate opinions, however, so feel free to disagree.
Love the photo, though. I think the blonde bombshell stage left is the most photogenic element.
Very dapper-looking fellow. A well-cut suit is all that's needed here, and I'm glad he hasn't cluttered it with gew-gaws or tried to set the world on fire with something outre. As for the pants being too long, I'd rather see them a touch too long for coverage than too short and showing ankle.
The blonde in the strapless black number and the little bandeau hat -- pretty classy street wear! I wonder where she's going?
A man is permitted to choose if he likes his jacket a bit longer or shorter. Same thing for the length of his trousers. In this photo, both the jacket and the trousers are fine. People who say otherwise are not permitting a man to dress as he feels most comfortable.
That said, I'd prefer a bit of color in the necktie to liven things up a bit. Other than that, Mr. Tonchi looks perfectly smashing.
ACTION JACKSON! I too am most captivated by the mystery woman with her lovely hat and smokin' physique. Her fabulousness is a nice foil to his matter of factness. Well done all around, def. should be included in the "best of."
Whoa what a picture. People say that nowadays everyone can take a good picture with a digital camera, but this is in another league, real art.
Jebus, it's like a LaChapelle urban circus without the crap! Excellent! Made my day.
this pic is awesome! how is it not staged?!
Wonderful moment. Spectacular spontaneity.
for Anon 12:41pm
this shot is not staged but does show that a big part of photography is anticipation.
i saw this coming together and only had time to get the exposure correct - the rest is just the luck of being there and capturing as it happened.
One word: INCREDIBLE!
This is a beautifully composed image. Well done.
What a wonderful film-still!!!
Wow!!!! what can I say, I applaud you for brning us such wonderful photos.
That shot is fantastic I don't really care what anyone else says.
If he wasn't looking at the camera it would be like a still from a film. As it is, it's an amazing shot.
timeless...
thank you for the great shot!
Federico Fellini meets Helmut Newton. Brilliant.
I love how calm, cool, and distinguished he looks in that conservative suit while there's all that motion going on around him. The cig, the smoke, and the blonde in the revealing dress makes the surroundings even more disreputable-looking and the contrast draws him out even more. Great shot.
I love everything about this picture! The dress of both the man and the woman, the woman's hair in motion, and the out of focus hand holding the cigarette. Brilliant!
The man is yum indeed. I love the girl too!
xCC
I would LOVE to see this in black and white. Can you post it, Sart? I think it's going to look fabulous!
this is stunning. i'm in awe.
Fantastic shot! Like a film still from a very well-choreographed crowd scene.
very interesting shot, so much going on there. You have this gorgeous girl with her fab black dress, an arm and this COOL subject....it's like a movie still. Scott, you should be a movie photographer thingy (don't know what you call it)
This shot is incredible. What a moment you captured. I work in film and this does remind of a still from a movie.
it is like a still of "sex and the city"...wow...
Classy!!!!!...
In b/w it could be a still from a Jean-Luc Godard film! Lovely.
Really evocative shot. Very beautiful.
Every single detail of this photo is just beautiful - the way the man in the centre looks directly into the camera; the outfit and the pose of the woman on the left; the haze created by the cigarette smoke... Perfect!
I think I've been having a serious case of deja vu with this place.
Possibly one of your top 5 photographs. Amazing color and ambiance. Great job Sart.
I love how so much is happening around him but my eye is still drawn to him instantly. Great shot.
Stunning work! Congratulations on one of your best yet.
oh wow, what an amazing shot! It looks like an opening scene from some movie!! Beautiful!
catching shot. the car wheel, bike wheel, shadow play, and even the man walking behind in the white suite. how intriguing! most of all... what do her shoes look like?!
gorgeous ! like an editorial shot..
Posture is the difference between a ship set sail and a dry-docked dingy. Here Stefano Tonchi proves he's seaworthy.
yes the clothes are fabulous. they're always fabulous. but the aesthetic and artistic quality of this picture is incredible
all elements go to the right side. the inclinance of Stefano, the woman, the smoke of the cigaret, the man beside the smoke, the look of the man beside Stefano..
What a beautiful ´´quadro´´
I have been reading this blog for years and this is my favourite photo ever. Congrats.
Please excuse me for my ignorance, but does every single person dress like this in Milan? I have always been under the impression that, for every immaculately attired individual, there are 9 who are just the dressed like the average folk (not sloppily, but certainly not this well-groomed). Well, in North America, that ratio would be 1: 100...
The reason I ask is because, apart from the main subject, you have three other equally well-dressed individuals seemingly scurrying about in their day-to-day business. The lady in particular is extremely striking and beautiful.
Anyway, the picture is beautifully composed and I would love to go to Milan one day...
this picture is amazing!
Aaahhh I wish I was smoking a cigarette in Europe right now. Standing outside during intermission in 4 inch painful heels. Cursing the long line in the bathroom.
Love NYC & Paris
beautiful shot
Very American,Raplh Lauren style.
One of the best shots you've ever taken. This is why your're the photographer and I'm not.
we're saddened that this ISN'T a fashion shoot. To know that this moment existed in time, and we werent involved in it, is heart breaking to say the least
breathtaking.
what a beautifully captured photo! great shot, sart.
beautiful.
There is something in this captured moment that reminds me of Robert Doisneau. Just beautiful, its inspiring...
Simply wonderful.
Una bella photo! Mi piace Milano.
one of my favorites to date...
Was this choreographed, or was it a beautiful, art-filled moment that you were clever enough to capture? You make me want to leave my desk job and get out there with my camera, Mr. Sartorialist.
Dashing. No really, Dashing!
you really are an amazing artist. this capture is simply breathtaking.
and i'm absolutely in love with the woman's lbd.
I've been following this blog for some time, and I've never been tempted to comment on any image before, even though I've really loved many of them, but I just have to say, "Wow..."
ive got to go to italy soon!
amazing! so much movement and atmosphere, and yet the eye is still drawn to the man in the center. Stunning photo.
I started using this blog while studying my secondary area of graduate study, costume design; but I have found at least as many, maybe more, images that become inspiration for my real job, which is lighting design! You take beautiful pictures, sir!
Love the picture and love the suit. I want my husband to have one!
I'm loving the spontaneity of this shot! Fantastic photography!
The gorgeous "mystery blonde" is Saks Fifth Avenue's Kate Lassar, she's Michael Macko's protogee.
my first comment here!
this photo is just stunning..
the dramatic smoke.. beautifully-tailored suit.. and mr. tonchi-bond..
i also like the silhouette of the guy's suit on the right.
O M G!!! Is he real???
He's so handsome! I´m wordless...
WOW! what a great shot! the depth of field adds a whole new dimension to what is already a very vintage-y setting =)
This picture is too amazing. Really puts you right there in the moment. I feel as if I'm making eye contact with that handsome man while passing through a cloud of cigarette smoke. Love it!
This is almost like a vogue shoot.
WOW! great picture!!!!!
this is so cheesy, but I love this photo so much that it could make me cry.
Oowee, it's like a scene from the movie with the guy moving in slow motion. And what's he holding in his hand. There's so much mystery involved. I wish there was a closeup for details.
truly a perfect moment captured
God this shot is amazing!
I´ve just checked a couple of your older photos of Mr Tonchi.
Till now, he has been a very stylish male for me.
On this photo, he became a MAN.
Great shot! Congratulation!
fantastic photo! That man..... That woman..... It's brilliant!
The man, the woman and the smoke. Simply brilliant
I love the dress the girl is wearing. What a great pic! :)
That's such a great shot - makes me feel excited just looking at it. It reminds me of a Joel Sternfeld:

Bimba y Lola headband, en España.
Uauuuuuuuuuuuuuu
what a fabulous picture!
How do you do it?
absolutely beautiful sart
a fellini moment. beautiful.
That is "The" moment...what a great shot!
fantastic shot, sart!!
awesome how many fantastic details are caught in this shot and compose a perfect whole. the (seemingly) old car in the background, the italian café-bits on the side, the gorgeous woman and the man she seems to be following, the cigarette just being flicked and the smoke just being exhaled.. i'm seriously jealous of that pic.
congratulations!!
Kick ass shot!
sooooo stylish!
WOW!
Stefano looks impeccable as always! The shot does look like a still from a movie, great capture.
This is incredible.
WOW!
amazing shot!
(are you sure this wasn't staged??)
I love the blonde woman, I think she makes this photo so much more Bond -- she is sexy and chic, he is cool and composed. I believe her hat is some sort of head band, with a bow? And the sweetheart neckline is classic bombshell. There's an old movie quality to her.
This is good indeed. This is good photographer's luck!
That is a stunning photo. I want to be there. I love photos that capture a moment in time like this. You are very talented.
Great picture!! Love everything about it.
Sart, this is really wonderful.
Whaow! Fantastic shot. This sort of shot can't be planned. Nice work capturing the moment! There is so much to like here.
I want that look!
SImple straightforward elegance in a modern suit. Why is this so hard to find outside of Manhattan and Milan?
thanks Sart
Amazing shot Sart, it really shows your photographers intuition. Thanks for explaining it wasn't setup.
He is perfection, I wouldn't change a thing, as is she.
DIVINE.
I agree with anonymous - skinny is the best accessory. It is striking to see so many people in the photos with a healthy, lean figure. In the States, that seems to be the exception, not the rule! That has totally flip-flopped over the past 30 years.
Sartorailist,
This is, without any doubts, your best shot (so far)!
Well done,
Martin
perfect shot, wow!!!
Gloria
oh my, it looks like catch in a movie-take!
please post some pictures of that blonde!
Amazing! The chaos happening all around is completely oblivious to him. With a smile! Love it...
I think I am in love..stunning man.
Great shot
Wow!
It's perfect.
Everything is beautiful!
suit for him is spot on, conservative, clean, crisp. I would mix it up a little bit, open collar, ascot with an Etro pocket square or a maybe psycho bunny tie with bright colored socks, I am very much a Derrick Miller and Barker Black fan. Giving the classic suit a twist and making it colorful by ways of accessories would be my ideal suit any day.
I love this shot. Scott's Sartorialist street style + Bresson's Decisive Moment = pure fashion bliss.
this woman is gorgeous!
nice suit! love the shoulders, especially. love the narrow lapels. by the way, Scott, i've noticed that wide lapels on men's jackets seem to catch your eye--why is that? ok, back to this guy's suit: no comment on the tie, shirt or pocket square--they're all fine; yes, the pants are too long--don't care for that crumpled up look at the bottom--works with jeans, not really with suit pants. cigarette smoke gives the shot a "realistic" effect, but also adds an element of mystery. and wow, that woman crossing in front has a great outfit on. love that hat!
What a shot, Sart.
I love that sweet look on Stefano's face as he sees you.
How great the world would look if this was a snapshot of reality!
/sara
Sara 5:29
this is a snapshot of reality - you just have to open your eyes to see it when it is happening.
Hi! Absolutely love your pics! Is it possible to buy them? Many would make splendid art to hang on the wall!
Nice shot
Again, another Bresson "decisive moment"..love it.
The suit is so well fitted, and he looks so dapper and it's just such a perfect shot... but I can't take my eyes off of the woman in the beautiful, amazingly fitted black dress, and her fantastic hat.
I love those moments. And you captured well!
Chapeau!!Sart. what an eye and finger reaction! you've held time down at the precise instant. Tku.
Very nice shot !
Great Shot! It looks staged.
love!
love!
love!
my favorite of your shots. it's so milan....
A Masterpiece!
This is an unbelievably beautiful photograph. An instant classic in every way. It's nearly unthinkable that anyone could possibly take this picture candid on the street in Milan, and yet it is so.
There are six subjects in all in the composition. My favorite subtlety in that regard is the man shadowing the protagonist, carrying a small notepad, whose blue shirt provides counterpoint behind Mr. Tonchi's left arm. It gives him depth and, in a way, importance, as if that shadow-man is his valet, or perhaps a rival secret agent.
The form is incredibly constructed, from the linear chair legs, blue tie, and shirt collars to the curving bicycle tire, vintage car wheel and female form hugged in the black dress. Then the chromatic composition, playing with blues, blacks, beige, and burgundy.
For me, this photograph embodies the highest ideals of art: intuition, emotion, and technique. It's pieces like this that remind me why I love to be alive.
So, thank you so much for sharing it. You've changed my life in a meaningful way.
