post a commentLovely slim lines.
A reference to the two-toned outfit?
A colored belt would have killed it.
you impress me more and more each day
love his hair. the shot is just perfect
http://www.moneasywardrobe.com
awesome
Did u ever try 'On the street...Portugal'?
that's one of our "dont mess with me girls" she's gorgeous.
Sue from Sydney
It's nice the mix of the two t-shirts. And the camera seems really cool.
Best!
Jose
good look ;D
is this a guy? i cant really tell...sry, but i just love the profile picture of them... such a good shot!
one comment says "his", another says "she's"... id say you nailed it with "aussie androgyny." great look.
I love these photos you took in Australia! Please come again and again and again!
xx
YO! Sartorial Vancouver...she/he's wearing a red belt!
LOVE IT!!
I love that one person thought this was a male, and another thought this was a female! It truly is an androgynous look! While I'm under the impression that this is a male, it totally doesn't matter as far as the look goes. Everything from head to toe works for either sex. So simple and totally classy.
This photo blows my mind. The lines of the wall, the lines of the bricks, the exquisite lines of the clothing, and his hair. Wow.
so chic!

loved the picture from this angle and his hair :))
Love her streamlined look, and that camera looks great! Wonder if it's a Leica?
xx
These photos make me proud to be a Sydney-sider! Q:Are these people Australian? Or are they visitors for Fashion Week????
heres whats interesting abt this pic- i cant tell if it's a guy or girl, but more imoprtantly, i dont care.
as a guy, id wear any of the stuff this person is wearing regardless of their gender. thats what makes this an amazing photo. one of ur best! this blog is inspiring!
i love love love this look!!!!!
Velvet keds?
is it only skinny people who are fashionable? or do clothes look better on them?
wondering reader
I really love this outfit, looks like something i could wear! Good combination.
So no idea whether this is a girl or a guy but that just makes it better. Not even kidding, either way I think this person is very sexy. And the way the hair has a profile up against the wall is so intense. Love it.
How can you be confused of the gender, she is gorgeous! Bring her to Melb... What a great photo, well done!
the hair, the ensemble, the flat figure, and the pose scream "he", but if you look closely, their facial features are distinctly female.
i vote "she"!
also, i like how the camera also serves as an accessory in place of a bag.
Nice... super good idea to do a profile shot, love the camera like a handbag...
I thought it's a he because of the flat chest, but it could be a she with a super flat chest 0-o
pretty sure it's a lady, still can't believe you're in sydney. you should stay here.
love the added definition of the arm with the tight black tee underneath. I think that's what really emphasizes this look and also enhances the shot. the body line is almost as straight as the one on the wall!! love it.
so which is it? A beautifully photographed man...or woman?
Melbourne do it better!
x
this person is beautiful and i am in love.
My, what long feet you have.
He's all skinny and cute in all his black and white. Nice.
He is definitely a guy because of the body. It is the nose, small lips, chin and hair that makes him look like a girl. He has a flat chest, protruding brow bones, strong forearms and a high square forehead.
impressive!!
This is such a Sydney look. If you went off to the Opera in the evening you find plenty of men wearing Black Tee-shirts and pants. Super casual.
For better or worse you are really capturing the real Sydney! Great to see contrast with OS.
SHE is amazing.
the shoe size gives it away I think.
The REALLY interesting thing about this shot is to view it with the idea of the rule of thirds in mind. Intellectually, divide the young man's image into thirds.
- Top of the head to the bottom of the t-shirt sleeve.
- Edge of the t-shirt sleeve to the curl of the fingers into the pants pockets.
- Edge of the pockets to the soles of the shoes.
It's all perfectly cut and perfectly crisp.
Bravo .
Hey Sart
a girl for sure!!
hope you can make it to inner Sydney suburbs of Newtown/Enmore for more great street style or even the harbour suburb of Balmain to see a totally different view?
Absolutely loving it.
love your latest pictures! i feel like your style of photography has changed a LITTLE bit...not for the worst!:) you inspire me to dress, design, and aspire to do what i wanna do!!!
I saw this girl backstage at most of the fashion shows this week. She was really lovely and had a super cool, edgy look every day. Very pretty without a skerrick of makeup.
definitely a guy, look at his large forearms, a girl that skinny would have much slimmer arms.. but great photo none the less
*Just heard your interview on the ABC radio in Melbourne ~Fabulous~ i am a new fan X:-)
How does this represent Sydney or Australia? He looks like he could be on any street corner in New York or Europe. You seem to be searching for people who look similar to what you're used to. Same comments for the girls in heels. I was recently in Australia and if you look at most of the retail fashion, i.e. the Aussie-owned brands that sell in Australia to Aussies - they are significantly different than what we get here in NYC or Europe.
hmm. im a bit underwhelmed except for the fact i cant figure out this person's gender (but either way, he or she would be nicely dressed). surely there are much better dressed people at RAFW??
a quick question (which you may not want to answer, id understand!) but how come you're pictures have a "darker tone" about them. im not too sure about the weather in sydney, but im just surprised they are not brighter or have more light in them.
is it a reflection of your take on the fashion? or is it the weather? or do you simply like these darker tones?
i love this... it's so unaffected yet stylish, and everything about the outfit, the scarf and the shades and even the camera hanging from the shoulder, gives it character. WOW.
Is that a canon eos 5d on his shoulder?
(Ps) Just read and ~loved~ the post about your dad... Kindest Sympathies to you and btw the story was just as beautiful as the photos X:-)
Many androgynous females bind their chests to appear more masculine. Not saying she is doing this here but it is a possibility. She is definitely a she. Thanks for this photo!
amazing!
I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, it's a great look either way!
she is beautiful.
Soraya, she's a hot girl. Lovely shot.
she is beautiful.
i like this type of guy. COOL.
How is it that she's so tanned, yet its so dark out? haha Australia mezmerizes me.
http://shopcapricious.blogspot.com
fyi - this is definitely a girl, she's a friend of a friend. Her name is Soraya (that is probably mis-spelled).
He's a nice friend.
@Sudindienne, I'm a Sydneysider and I disagree- I think this is representative of the indie crowd in Syndey and sure, it is pretty much the same as the indie crowd everywhere else (from what I've seen!).
It is probably "dark" out because our weather has been very changable here in Sydney, not dark on my Mac, anyway, great shot.
Soraya... its a beautiful photo of you... x
looks cool ;)
Plain and simple really does go a long way.

Are the jeans velvet....hard to tell, but love this type of outfit on a day when you just don't know which way the weather will go. No jacket to bother with, but the scarf keeps you toasty!
i feel bad if im wrong but i instantly thought it was a boy , (he) has soft features though and a wonderful sense of style.. yay for australia!
Perhaps the subject is part of the Japanese cultural movement called Kei which argues that gender is irrelevant, revels in true androgyny and in secret identities.
Whatever the case, it's a captivating photo of a strong personality.
Hot debate, she or he, who cares you're finally down under!!
Wow!
That is actually a girl.
Sorry I was preparint to say something like not my favorite for boys (like me).
But now, I think she looks nice.
A classic white tee.....forever!
i love this!!! and its a he, in my opinion. look at the arms, and hands.
Love this
SHE has a cool look. I especially like her shoes here. Actually, she reminds me of a woman I know who has the height and build to pull off menswear with ease, something I could never do.
Still not sure if it's a boy or a girl...maybe we should check "down under"...:)
I don't care if this is a boy or a girl. I like that cheeks, they are kind of Johnny Depp, but to be honest, the style is just provincial. Nothing gripping nor classic or new.
Androgyny is a fashion topic on campus right now. however, none are as chic as this person. I would only ask that the pants come up from under the ass.
que estilazoo del tippoo, esta muy cooll su pinta descomplicada pero super buena !!
oh...smart guy
i love that very much...look simple but smart!
loves it
Whatever the gender, this subject clearly understands how to make slim pants work - heads and shoulders over all those thom browne clones.
they do harbor the best looking lesbians in the world in syndey....swoon
I'm good with this look/style...shades to shoes to camera, jewelry, etc. whatever the gender.
Gaah I love everything about this. The photo itself, the clothes...and the subject. Hahaha.
Canon G10 - Girl - HOT -Even hotter girlfriend - YEW!
She´s wearing a perfect men´s outfit!
Wow, I love it.
It looks so siply, but great!
HER name is soraya i believe and she's pretty damn cool. mowhawk is hot. and i'm a girl.
she is so, so hot. and the outfit helps.
excellent! very hot indeed!
Amazing - both the look and the picture!
you should come to Toronto! this is the dominant aesthetic. Love the shoes, the posture, and the multi-directional lines.
not a fan.
its average.
however the fit of the pants/jeans is very good.
can some ppl explain to me wats with wearing a t-shirt with a scarf? i dont see how it is practical to do so. u keep ur neck warm, but wat about the rest of ur body? to me it makes more sense to have some long sleeve stuff on before the scarf comes into play
This is the most Sydney out of the lot!
A human creature.
but really
i cant tell if its a dude or a chick
sleek profile, wonderful posture
its a dude (foot size) or abnormally large shoes.
anyway. looks uber cool
I like the way he/she has done thier scarf, i would like to know how to do it like that
this is what the child of lohan/ronson would have looked like...
wow. reminds me of my grade school crush on actor Edward Furlong...though I'm guessing this is the female version :) Love the sleeve combo and the hair. So sexy.
i keep thinking about this pic, randomly thru out the day.
love it. love her look. i'd switch teams for her.
In Sydney, as soon as it gets a bit cooler than usual, people will grab a scarf before grabbing a jumper. You'll see lots of people in short sleaves with a scarf, specially this time of year for season change.
this is probably one of my favorite shots... i love the contrast and the profile.
If the person is male, then he has unusually soft features. If the subject is female, then she has, by far, the flattest chest I have ever seen. Nice look though.
i love the look of how he ties his scarf but i can't tell exactly how he did it from the angle. any idea?
I like the shoes , someone know the brand ?
Lovely shot, Mr Sart, and gorgeous subject. Still can't figure out if it's a guy or girl. That's the beauty of androgyny, I guess.
Ho hum. Looks like any other Cotton On kid.
if your all looking for some saucy info... its a girl and her girlfriend is n garance dore's blog as aussie grunge!!!
Haha!! Classic Inner West Girl =) The layered monochromatic tees, the slim pants topped with spikey hair. THIS is a quintessential Sydney look.
at first glance would be easy to assume she's a boy because of the clothing,& superstreamlined silhouette, but the title "androgyny" obviously refers to the fact she's a woman.. a very sharp & sexy one at that! She's a good example of that cool relaxed style typical of Sydney, where what is valued/admired is not what labels or "must have" items are worn, but how the mix comes together...a few old, some new, some cheap, some expensive, acknowlegding what's going on in the fashion world but not being a slave to it.
Rock-solid cool. Androgyny never looked so tough.

Hi Sartorialist.
It's Aussie Androgyny here. Thought I would make a comment about my own picture to let you know I am thoroughly enjoying the debate as to my gender.
I am tempted to give the game away, but that would spoil all the fun!
Anyway, enjoy your time here in Australia and while I was around during Fashion Week, I took some photos myself...with the camera over my shoulder in your picture.

It is probably "dark" out because our weather has been very changable here in Sydney, not dark on my Mac, anyway, great shot.

Jiggie smalls: yes I'd also like to know the brand of the shoes, any ideas anyone?
I've been looking for a descent pair of black pumps for ages, but everything I've seen is just trash compaired to these!
So, if this is a girl, and she can look so cool dressed essentially like a guy, can a guy dressed like a girl (with the same is it a guy/is it a girl questions being raised) be equally cool?
Love your blog
hair looks cool.
this is way hot. i love androgynous looks!
nice hue
So simple clothing items creating such a stylish look. Another proof that less is more in fashion.
