Comments on "On the Street......Mr. Stipe, NYC"
Nice shoes, Michael:-)
I like his attitude.
I love everything about this - the layering, the slouchiness of the jeans that still show his body, the color palette, those EYES... Everything is age-appropriate and still hip. The more I look at it, the more I love it!
He looks pretty much good!
quite nice, I must Say.
So simple yet so elegant...so typically Stype!
He is just fabulous!
first! Mr. Stipe, long time no see!
I think Michael Stipe (a personnal god of mine)is incredibly beautiful on the first photograph. You captured his amazing blue gaze... He looks great with a beard. Gives him a bit of austerity which has the greatest effect. (on me at least... and i'm not a man!)
Love your work by the way. Endless source of wondering and inspiration.
He's elegant and georgeous as usual. Love it. Love the beard too.
Nice stripes! But he doesn't look cheerful. at all.
He always looks sexy!
he looks like a ballet dancer.
Sophisticated and dapper. Two thumbs up.
That man is so dreamy.
So comfortable in his skin.
Kudos, Mr Stipe.
I love his eyes, and THAT beard- he looks very much in the moment, as if he's thinking "Its ok, just take it, I won't move".
Very nice!
-Cinephile-
Wow! I like it!
He strikes me as sort of groomed, modern-day Walt Whitman. a refined animal, to be sure.
I hope he continues to let his hair grow back in
i love him
SO cool
I always knew he was a rock star, and from the looks of his 'turn out' in the bottom photo, seems he might have also been a great dancer.
nice.
Le sigh...he and I are from the same town...this gives me hope that I too, a girl from Athens, Georgia, can be worthy of your website.
Great photos. I think the second photo is especially well done, excellent sense of movement.
It's like looking at my older brother. These shots capture him perfectly. Good job Sart.
He looks great! I'm so glad you got these pictures--I remember being so sad when you lost them, last time.
The Paparazzialist !
I love him! he looks so good on these pictures. I like him with a beard, suits him.
So cool.
WOW! good goin. Great portrait!
THAT Mr. Stipe? OMG!
are we just interested because he used to be famous or is there a fashion comment being made here. He is dressed like every other shlepper in SoHo.
He always dresses well.
I love how the sweater in the first pic truly brings out his eyes. The second picture is just epic. Good job sart.
As shocking as it is seeing Michael Stipe with such a beard I must say it looks really great on him.
amazing lighting in the second photo, and I really like his style. That cardigan is fantastic.
Now this man knows his way around clothing.
Mr. Stipe......ALWAYS a classic!
what nice turn out. O.o
Give the fellow an orange beanie hat and he'd be Steve Zissou.
one of my favorite people who plays with fashion best!
One of your best shots, Sart. Very nice.
A.ny
oh my god!...
he is so handsome....
He's always had a great sense of style...there is nothing really special that would hit you over the head, but there is a subtly to it. Maybe it is that he is, well, Michael Stipe...Shiney, Happy.....
His look is relaxed, at ease--visually reciprocal to his active and restless mind. His subject is always interesting, as with these photos. Great shots.
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S-!-!-!-!
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S-!-!-!-!
Looking like an old man - not a rock star!
Clearly Mr Stipe has got better with age. No longer the fuzzy headed waif of the eighties.
What a beauty
FIRST!
r.e.m. style + beard
Mr Stipe is just so effortlessly cool. I love the punch of rust against all the black.
Oh I just love him!
If I did not recognize him with the beard, I would have recognized him from his standing posture. It is absolutely trademark!
Wahouuu !
Forget the scarfs or gold bracelets! His beard is his best accessory! OMG, he's GORGEOUS! :-))
nice pics, i just recently lost my religion...
His horizontal stripes are also reflected in the stripes in his beard. Conversation with him would be deep.
very cool shirt

He's always been nice to look at, including here. Pic's dark, clothes are dark...judging from what I can see, he looks great. He presents such a well sculpted silhouette..he looks small or narrow, lean, athletic, like a dancer or divers bod. He does casual very well here. The brown scarf with the brown shoes are perfect to keep the all black interesting.
beautiful
This look is great. Love the cardigan visible at the cuff and the touches of blue. Complimented nicely by the rich colour of the scarf as well.
The silhouette in the second photo is excellent.

Gee, he ages well! Beautiful photos.
Oooh, fantastic. Thank you.
:wow:
He has evolved into a sophisticated version of his younger self.
the way the light hits his shoe and the diagonal of the second photo is just great!
He's an original.
Stipe has always had style! It's refreshing to see his mug on here...thanks!
Nice..................
I love Michael!
I felt really sad after seeing these photos. Perhaps it was not the intention, but it made realise how old I was seeing the aging on Michael Stipe's face. Yet, less negatively, it brought fresh memories, nostalgic ones. Funny, the things photos and faces of them do.
Fist!Just love REM! A and Mr Stipe looks indeed!
He looks good! And has one of the most recognizable voices!
Stipe's sense of style is like his music: timeless and a work of art.
Dig his scarf, shoes and cuffed pants...and his sweater under blazer in top pic.
he looks so cool! so comfortable with himself...
He's got the most soulful eyes.
my dream man.
i love anything and everything he chooses to wear. back in the early years REM embodied a collective brash yet sincere 'effortless' cool.
he sort of resembles a leaned out peter linbergh in the first photo.
Nice to see a rocker stay classy. And he's wearing that grey/brown beard quite nicely.
Great pose. Great style.
Great man. (That goes for both of you;-))
Mr. Stipe has a class of his own. I love it!
i've always liked michael stipe's style. this just reminds me why i had such a crush on him in the 80s and 90s.
YES
love the pose.
This is a Renaissance portrait and the blue of many restless seas captured in his eyes.
I love this man.. what a elegance and grace.
The first picture is amazing... With eyes of any other colour it wouldn't be so striking and that's what makes it so beautiful! Nicely shot
Is he 'The' Michael Stipe? The member of R.E.M?
solid wisdom
Speechless. I simply cannot think of any outfit that could outshine his allure.
A whole day has passed and no comments on Michael Stipe. C'mon! He looks great!
Very sexy, very classy!!
if it isnt REM himself ;)
i did not know mr. stipe was taking up ballet. so 80s suburban teen. love that rock star move.
Mr Stipe: my absolute coup de coeur. He is divine, always perfectly composed and with his very own special personal style. I do so love his look.
I too, am happy you got these shots and posted them...I remember the unfortunate elevator event.
And yes, M. Stipe looks dapper, particularly the blue stripe, blue eye shot. His worry lines between the eyebrows give me some confidence to wear mine proudly as well.
Lastly, he is so smoking hot!
One of the best dressed men in America? And a very very nice person.
Wendy La - if i could age as handsomely and elegantly as Mr Stipe, bring it on!
He's become more fashionable and sexy as he's gotten older. Love the beard!
very handsome with the beard but I worry that the footwork is a male equivalent of the pigeon toed stance.
all the same, very nice to see him.
"Style is a simple way of saying very complicated things" said J. Cocteau. Mr. stipe is a living myth and an elegant man...
One of the best dressed musicians.
Aging gracefully never looked better - love the salt & pepper beard!
I think the first picture is about grooming. Very nicely designed beard. Who's to say he doesn't selectively color it? Only he and his haridresser know for sure!
Of course, Mr. Stipe does his blue eyes proud with the touches of blue in his sweater. Lovely.
I also like the echo of gray in the sweater. I feel having gray hair is a major fashion statement and should be worked into an outfit. This is a good example.
Second pic: one too many cell phone pics for my taste.
I would not have recognized him. I quite like the beard.
Michael Stipe has done more experimenting with fashion in his 20 years with R.E.M. than 99% of the world's population. well done sart!
OH MY GOD.
Michael Stipe is just awesome.
Michael Stipe has gotten older. I have gotten older. Michael Stipe is still beautiful. Thank you for bringing him back to mind, Sartorialist.
That rocks! Stipe rocks! I met the great Peter Buck a few months ago and I can definately say he also rocks!
Nice beard, Michael.
This is such a classic look. I think that this is the best casual look for a man. It allows him to individualize his outfit, but still look masculine and completely relaxed.
Mr Serious.
However fascinant!!!!
he is stylish from within. And he has good turn- out. =)
Wow! Bob Mould!
mr Stipe has style and a wonderfull forth dance position!
i love this man. always have, always will. he's inherently good, can boogie up a storm, writes amazing music and dresses well. sigh...
I want to look like this when I grow up. He's gorgeous!
With his charisma, you could basically wear anything and still look good...It's all about the man, not the outfit (still very important however ;))
I love the jolt of color in the second photo from his cinnamon brown scarf. And his stance. And I really do have a thing for turned up jean cuffs.
love all of him- clothes, eyes, shyness, his appearance on jimmy fallon… great shots. *a
I'm amazed! You took a perfect picture of a man who has been photographed so many times, in so many ways... Beautiful shot of an elegant man!
'Me in Honey' indeed. LOVE it! Now the real coup, would be to get a shot of M.S's former crush, Morrissey!
I love him. He's divine. Always. Great pics. Great man, so sophisticated. he is tremendously beautiful.
Michael would you like to go with me to Ladureé?
Thank you Sartorialist
I love him. He's divine. Great style,great man, always, so ...sophisticated and tremendously beautiful.
Michael would you like to go with me to Ladureè?
Thanks Sartorialist
Oona
I absolutely looove peolpe watching, observing and try to imagine what kind of person they are and what they do... this guy looks like someone you would like to sit down for a coffea with. Looks like he´s got a good story! If it´s solely the outfit or the whole persona, I don´t know - but it works!
Style. Style. Style.
So wonderful and effortless. Love Michael.
When we were both in our 20's Michael Stipe and I participated in a gallery talk for a group exhibition we were both in at a museum in S.C. I never saw his face or heard him speak. He was so shy (or bored)that he wore a trenchcoat and hat and stared at the floor the whole time, even when he spoke. Time long past. I think he's always been interested in his appearance and had great style (however much that style changed over the years). I've never seen him on the street. He looks good here. He still has the body to wear clothes well, anything, really. I'm not enamored of the beard. He has wonderful facial features, many of which are either hidden or obscured by the beard. I think that's a mistake. I like the un-shaven head. Nice to see him here.
It almost looks like his feet are in "fifth position." Stipe is lookin' GOOD.
Great pictures. I love him! :)
I know we should be talking about clothing, but I am blown away by how well he has aged. Yes, WELL. Especially for a typically anti-aging obsessed celebrity, he is a beautiful and rare example of timeless cool. I can only hope I age as well!
I wish I knew whether the bottom stance was natural or contrived.
Can't wait for you to come to Sydney!
I just adore him!
Shtyyyyype! What a wonderful eccentric.
I like him with the long facial hair. Everything looked great until I saw his legs.
oh, Michael is simply beautiful.
wonderful style x
how did you get this number?
I always think Stipe looks amazing. His eyes are beyond words. He has aged extremely well. If he were to go clean shaven, it would be like looking at the Micahel Stipe of 1994. Beautiful man!!
wow i think i'm in love
