post a commentCool shot--love his facial expression!
I dunno, sart. i'm on the fence on this one. i like the idea. the execution is not quite right though. the pants are too long and i'm really not a fan of a suit this luxe with ratty sneakers(lanvin?). love the vest but don't quite know how i feel about it with this suit because it makes the silhouette a bit awkward. i like the idea though.
looks strange, because the suit seems to be very large and the vest could actually be fitting well...
nontheless i like that fur scarf (?)
is that a double breasted suit??
love the all blues wash.
Yeeeeaaahhhhh...
The vest and the fur whatever-it-is over the suit is actually an interesting visual in long shot. I wonder is this arose out of practicality, so he could take off his warm gear once inside without removing his jacket and putting it back on? He loses me with the pants length- I think shorter pants would relate better to the lines of the vest, I guess as they are they contrast with it- this isn't a look you can apply rules to, so whatever. I'll stick with interesting.
This is so cool.
All.
Russian men are so strong and masculine. And there's something raw about him. The perfect combination of strength and negligence.
a vest OVER the suit jacket?
not sure
interesting
but still not sure how i feel about it
great shot
*kisses*
Obviously not a starving painter, what with the Lanvin sneakers!!! This outfit brings me back to the reviews for Prada's Spring '09 collection, where so many items were so impractical (jackets that button up the back, anyone?) that fashion editors were dismissing the runway as a purely idealized vision of clothes to come. Well, here is one instance in which one of such garments is worn on the street, with a lot of style. Practical? Maybe not- if you need to cover your mouth/nose from the cold, you arguably need sleeves. But I think it brings us to a new level where an overcoat doesnt have to be the final word.

I want to like it...the proportions are weird and unresolved. A for effort though.
Ah, the layered look . . .
yeah he is sexy...love the vest over teh jacket and his running shoes...and just his look.
clap clap!
nancy
Wilfully eccentric outfit but lovely shot as usual. That red car!!!
more utilitarian/functional than stylish. but if he's just come from the studio, i can relate.
Hmm. Futuristic waistcoat on top of a blazer? I don't know. Those Russians sure experiment :D
i agree with Model Whispers... indeed the perfect combination of strength and negligence. he looks angry even! cool!
I agree with most so far......I like the idea but this actual expression of it isn't doing it somehow.......the jacket is too big for the vest to look good and maybe the vest is also too short for the jacket......Also the trousers are definitely too long like everyone said........but I'd like to see this again.......maybe with more of a shrunken jacket underneath........and also I think i don't like the colour of the suit which also puts me off. But its maybe one of those things that you dislike on first viewing and then the more you think about it the more you like it and of course eventually you end up doing it.............
Russians are fearless fashion animals, aren't they? The unconventional layering mix-up instantly reminded me of Gaultier's past collections; notably S/S 1993 and A/W 1993-94, where vests and tanktops were worn over double-breasted suits.
I love his style-- the baggier fit of his pants suit his physique well. Love the mink muffler with its cowl. And the vest serves almost like a man's version of a corset-- or SWAT vest...
He's the best I've seen thus far mixing of luxe, whimsy, and masculine style.
PLO
I think it's a very beautiful outfit.
definitely not Milan.
I think I like the picture more than his style. His head sunk into the sweater, the old beat up car in the background, the hands in the pockets..and the old sneakers!
LOVE this blog. Adding you to my blog list...
My favorite aspect of this shot is the shoe-to-car relationship: both loyal to the bitter end and well-loved by their respective owners. The look, however, leaves me wanting a better fit on the suit and a vest that at LEAST covers the jacket pockets, it's a bit distracting.
Yes, that "layered look". kind of like the 90's lng sleeve under the T-shirt.
Could be done a bit better, but the idea is great. I did a shoot this past fall with a Paul & Shark Nylon vest over a sport jacket, cashmere sweater, and wool tie. Had a very English country look to it, but the nylon vest brought it to the city. This gent takes it a bit more fashion. And since everyone is doing pants with no break, this makes the contrast of the lux suit, fashion and casual simultaniously. I'm into it.
artfully minimal. the face shrouded in mystery.
a composition of primary colors, fitting for a painter.
is he packin? good eye scott, this is the fashion i love, relaxed and athletic with a bit of risk.
Inspiring...
Will have to try that one out myself ...
Love the blue ...in fact, I love any type of blue ...
noooooo!! He's got the most beautiful suit ever taken by The Sartorialist, and he ruined it by wearing this fur-vest on top of it...!! Nooo!!
Very cool find, though, Scott. But...oh noooo...what a waste of the beautiful suit.
Designer flak jacket?
No. The suit doesn't fit and squeezing that vest over it is just strange.
Model Whiperer's idea about Russian men is a fantasy that veers on the good side of bad. In fact, I don't think most people in the rest of the "West" really understand Russians at all.
Beautiful and a little sinister. Beards rock.
The whole image is a gorgeous cross and I love the fact that the very Russian car played the role of the horizontal stripe! Bravo
Love the unconventional layering. The proportions really make you look twice, but I like that.
Well, just putting a shot up on this website can turn any outfit into a new fashion. Let's hope that isn't the case here.
It's too pretentiously different or quirky for my taste.
I don't think I like the suit even without the vest.
Sart!!
This outfit feels VERY forward...i was just staring at this picture, having to digest it; unable to in a single viewing, had to go back for seconds.
The winter vest thing...is almost uniquely practical, keeping the lower part of the face+neck warm, though not too bulky and removable once indoors. The suit's color & sparkle is daring to boot. Great catch! this is inspiring
oh no.
Not for me but I get the concept.
He looks so cool!!!!!
funky fresh.
The upper part of the outfit makes me think of the Chinese costume. People wear large long clothes underneath a vest.
Quite fun to wear suit in this way.
This looks like a man with no time to mess around. the scarf is amazing.
I must be an apprentice one: I don’t get it. Never have seen somethig alike.
Unleash that which is the stylin' men Moscow.
This guy reminds me of the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. He often wore expensive suits in the studio, barefoot. Of course he accidentally spilled paint on them. It was a style statement. It wasn't meant to disrespect the clothes. Maybe it was to import sartorial style into the painterly lifestyle? Hmmmm . . .
HA! I LOVE IT!!!!!
So "iconoclast" !
Love the red car on the background.
Great shot !
I think the vest should be larger and the suit tight-fitting, then it will works.
Anyway interesting from an anthropological point of view ;-)
A small sight "cosmonaut", to-morrow's look, may be.
Blue and red are fine, I agree with anonymous.
trying way too hard and looking rather silly in the process.
Nice suit and I don't know but I kind of love the way it look's with those sport shoes...
strange combination but works well.
It is cold out there so he grabbed the vest from his red car ( behind ).
lada!
What an interesting outfit! Certainly not something you see everyday.
un homme un style...
It's unique and hence of his own, hence a winner to me.
Nice shot! I like his expression
The Kevlar Vest is an interesting touch.
i, too, am on he fence about this one. i very much agree with d-money (10.23am). I wonder how i would react if i saw him walking along the street? However, the proportions appeal to me - remembering your post a few days ago - so i can't knock it.
love the layering, sure an interesting concept :o) like it
i love this. i think it is innovative and fun. maybe b/c you say painter i give him some leeway or rather expect unconventional. but i love it. the tennis shoes balance the vest and make the suit a basic. love it.
nice clothingg!!!! i like it
He's look a bit slouchy, no?
Brilliant!!!!
the red car makes the photo!
Whats the black thing, a waistcoat?
Everything about the outfit is wrong, yet put together it really works.
Stamos, Melbourne
interesting idea, innovative and brave. the proportions however are not really working. the suit is a little too big. and the sneakers?...
YET another groovy photo......they are always stunning editorial shots. Gorgeous.
I love the vest over the suit
Wow! I knew that Pyotr Aksenov is fashion-forward, but not to that extent... Looks extraordinary for a Muscovite...
What is this look doing? For me, I think it places emphasis on layering and drapery. There is something interesting happening with the fabric and that is because the fabric appears to be of such good quality.
There is a weightiness to this look that is appealing. I think I would have to see a series of these men's pieces before I could become adjusted to the proportions, though.
The more I look at this, the more I want a vest like his! Will you show more?
I like how he has ironed his pants.
That's so weird, it's wonderful!
At first I wasn't sure about the vest over the suit, but he's just so confident that he pulls it off. Very sexy. :-)
Interesting. It looks like some tailored life jacket. Maybe it'll save him from falling into the deep end of a cocktail party.
He has something of that artist from Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Same manly passionate gaze perhaps?
At first I thought this outfit was simply attrocious- however through some examination I find it simply intriguing. I love men who can add a piece of fur to their outfit without looking like a russian pimp. Well done Sart!
nice post
