Comments on "When First We Met..."
despite the relaxed quirkiness of his previous look I have to say that his look is very much improved. the last picture the clothes look very light and fresh.
My favorite is the bottom picture. It's so summery!
This is amazing to see. What does he do now versus then?
Wow, what a difference two years can make! He looks especially great in the most recent photos. I love his style.
He looks fabulous. Love the tan and navy in the third shot - a lovely combination. He looks serene.
I hope that when winter rolls around he goes back to looking like a Native American ranch hand, but in the meantime I can definitely appreciate his more polished, summery style.
It would seem like the first outfit would take a long time to put together- the items are not something you can just pick up at a store or through a stylist- vintage-done-well takes serious work! The last two outfits, for me, are the classic example of how quickly we get used to the good stuff if we get it once! I bet once this gent tried on a fine suit, he wanted to wear nothing else- brings to mind a Loro Piana cashmere blazer I found at a thrift store; such finds do change your perspective! Last but not least, I am wondering if anyone else notice the combination on the bottom pic is the one as Mr. Cortina's? Influence, perhaps? Jorge from W Palm Beach
Aawww - your friend is "growing up". I prefer his mature look much more and it "suits" him much better too.
wonder if he ever delivered the mail he was holding in first
The new look's a bit too late seventies TV cop show coke dealer for me.
i am completely in love with the southwest print detail on the KNEES of his pants from two years ago. so strangely flattering.
Oh... he just oozes sexiness in the last shot. yum!
I saw this guy in Florence at Pitti Uomo back in January and followed him for a couple of blocks to get a better look at his outfit and the spectacular green crocodile bag he was carrying.
I think meeting you had a life-changing effect on him Scott!
This is wonderful. I wonder how many people were involved in the transformation, and what triggered it? He looks perfectly, happily at ease with his new look- that's the most important thing.
I almost criticized the shirt collar outside the jacket. I won't but it brings up a point. I've made some criticisms here that I later regretted since I aspire to the open, inclusive attitude you have. Most of us dress to please ourselves, and break the rules whenever it suits us. We should allow others the same latitude.
You've made my day. Thanks.
I love both looks, the first and the last two! Plus the three piece suit is super!
holy crap...i must see the man behind the glasses. i love all the looks. the confidence he oozes is mesmerizing.
WOW. I totally wasn't expecting to see him in a suit.
He looks gorgeous at all 3 pics. But the last one, with linen blazer is my favourite. These two years turned him from a boy to a man.
I think there has been improvement. The first look is too much. The last picture is especially appealing: one of the most chic and comfortable looks I've ever seen on this site.
On another note, can I mention how much i enjoy the comments of Jorge from West Palm Beach?
whooha! i'm whistling! he looks gorgeous in the three-piece-suit, i have to say. what an improvement! i'm surprised you even recognized him, sart (or did he come up to you and urged you to make a picture proof of his mega improvement?!)
It is for pictures like these that I begin my morning with The Satorialist.
Love the colors of his last look!
His hair is beautiful!
he's sexy
ahahaha. handsome! i agree, last shot is great.
I don't see it as an improvement, per se.
I don't think time has much to do with it, either.
(If Scott hadn't said differently, you wouldn't really be able to tell whether all 3 had been taken the same year or not, would you?)
The man simply likes different styles and choses his clothes to suit his own mood and needs. Don't we all do the same?
Hahahaha that's hilarious- "And look at him now!"
The deep blue and khaki in the last picture are absolutely perfect together. Can't wait to see how he gets even better in two more years!
wow what a contrast!
...a good looking fellow - how ever he is dressed... definitely has some style of his own.
its not about the time...this guy has a mad sense of style. i wouldnt be surprised if he would wear that pullover from the first picture tomorrow.
Boo on the qualitative judgments. All three pictures say something different in very effective ways. He is the same man, these are different aspects of his character. We are all bigger than the clothes we are wearing at any one time. And the world would be a duller place if those cool pants in the first pic stayed in the closet.
What a transformation! I definitely love the latter picture!
before and after photos make me smile...
Every piece he is wearing in the first shot is beautiful, but together it is a bit much-- however, mixing one of those pieces with what he is wearing in the last shot would be AMAZING.
And we never get to see his eyes
awesome through the ages. what a guy.
A change of clothing does not necessarily signal a change in personality, change of life circumstances or even maturity. Isn't part of the fun of fashion adopting different personae? At the same time, changes that reside most deeply within may never be detected from one's outer appearance.
He is himself in both looks!
can we say...MAKEOVER!
I like this one.
Way to rock that Cowichan sweater!
Holy cow! Now that is some kind of transformation. He looks smarvalous.
Delicious! I especially like the white pocket square in the third shot, pulling together with the white trousers.
wow - any look will do me. he's got a great look and a very sexy vibe.
he's improved, but i'm not sure if he has improved his own style or if he is just copping what is in every other magazine and fashion shows....he doens't convince me at all.
you Sart, on the other hand, have definitely improved on your own style, good pic then and great pics now, awesome light.
he is a character. i look at him and my mind wonders a million things, yet nothing style-related.
i love most how each photo reflects something different giving us a facetted perspective.
someone i hope you meet again so that we can too.
He cleans up well!
What a departure.
Did you remember him, or did he remember you?
Wow... I'm speechless. The second photo is spectacular. The lighting and everything! Not to mention his three piece suit!
Yummy.
I agree with Peristeraki and Sparrow, and probably others since I didn't read every post to now.
This man loves and understands color. I doubt time has much to do with the selections re minutes to dress or any change in major interests, though it could of course. Time may be refllected in mood and occasion, thus differing choices.
I enjoy all three portraits, very good as photos and re style.
He's sending us a message in the last picture....
Smokin!
All 3 do it for me! The hair, his hands, the ring. The suit pic is killer. Who is this man? Is he single? Can we see him without the glasses?
Despite the fact that he looks cleaner and more sharp than two years ago, I somehow still like his old indie flair. very emersonian.
he is giving us a lot of different looks.
he knows he looks good!
It seems like a "before and after" Sart´s influence.
I like both looks anyway.
He's elegant whatever he wears.
wow, he looks amazing now!
It is your blog!
Anybody else think with the spread collar and untucked shirt, he's a little bit too much like Furio from The Sopranos..... whoever said "70's cop show coke dealer" was spot on
i love his hair and sunnies!
he's cleaned up REALLYYY well too!
absolutely love the latest pictures of him.
Sart -- did you happen to get a closer look at his lapel pin? Looks like a gold ring, but I can't see the design clearly. He's wearing it on both suits. Thanks for the superb photos & I hope you run into him again soon!
this looks like a before and after photo of Extreme Makeover. From homeless to Smokin' hot.
BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS
I'm singing... "Isn't he lovvvelyyy!"
the first look- although fascinating- seems a little bit costumey and efforted for my tastes. I call this one "Idaho Morning Song..."
the latter two shots are just classic. I see the man first, not the clothes. he's making it look easy.
it's amazing how much more confidence he seems to ooze in the last two photos as opposed to the first!
He is sexy
He looks great in the last two photos, but part of that is the way he's standing and presenting himself. I'm not sure the first outfit is in perfect taste, but it is fun and I hope he still breaks out now and then.
wow love the metamorphosis!!
very slick...with millions of people out there how do you manage to bump into the same people? do they hunt you out?
To be perfectly honest the first look would have me moving bar stools, but look number two would have me buying him a drink without even an introduction. ;)
the evolution of style - i especially love how his red notebook provides the perfect dash of color to his fabulous summer outfit in the last shot. the overall look is very sexy in my book :)
Two facets of his personality- I love it! Looking very comfortable in both the country and the city looks.
And the lighting is wonderful in the two new photos!
that three piece suit is SUPERB!
Bloody hell! What a sexy way to wear a suit. It seems like suit and sexy don't go together. But this guy just pulls it off. Picture 2 is the perfect suit. Picture 3 is the jacket recycled into a sexy legere look.
I cannot mention, that I particular like this guy's haircut.
Picture 1 were presumably his rock 'n roll days. Well, we all have/had/still have those days, when we just want to go crazy.
nice. LOVE the transformation!
never thought beige and dark blue can work so well together....
May I ask, who is he? He looks so handsome. Is he Japanese? He's always covered with shades, even frm 2 years ago.
so handsome!!!!
designer?
A 3pc suit is très chic, plus are those the same cool sunnies in all 3 shots??
What a transformation! I bet, after you shooted him the first time, he went here in your blog and saw some photos of men looks and created his own! Your blog is a sort of inspiration for all of us! And about the pictures, I loved the light in the second one, just in his head. Brilliant as always.
Here you have the better used two years of a life.
The first photo is interesting,but mostly becuase it is such an over-the-top combination. He is wildly handsome in the second & third photos (second esp. - wow! what a handsome man). thanks for posting.
He looks so inspiring. The definition of a gentlemen dressed smartly.
I think he looks hot from the neck up in the first pic.
The hair, the shades, the suit, the man...what a turn on.
Impeccable. What a transformation.
his hair looks really silky. l'oreal... because he's worth it!
I love the first look. It is slightly contrived, but I feel that it shows his personality better. To me, this isn't a transformation; this is a series of photos that captures the different sides of his personality. He seems like he would have an interesting story.
Loved the original look. This guy looks great, but the original short-haired dude doing the beige jacket, blue shirt deal has some attitude. The whole white linen pant white shirt which becomes dark blue for later in the day - he even wears aviators.
He has defined my summer look - the : "I don't give a shit if you're looking at me, and I know you are."
This is such a perfect example of being comfortable in your own skin. In ALL the pictures - whether two years ago or now - he is comfortable in who he is in that moment.

Oh yeah, baby! Love the newest look especially. Very fresh real.
I've seen this guy before on your blog and I'm always impressed by his look. A lot of it has to do with the amount of confidence he displays. I think himself and a few of the other regulars make a good case for you to tag these guys in photos. That way we can easily find more examples of theirs.
I really like the look in the third photo. It's a style of dress that looks attainable.
The first shot looks like a bit too thought out and costume-like. The newer looks are much more relaxed and fresher.
