Comments on "On the Street....Hamish Bowles, NYC"
this is amazing, the patterns fit like hell
and his face gives the rest
very excentric !!!
What a dandy.
Adoring the 'David Hicks' esque patterned cloth.
Wonder if the Pierre Cardin trench is vintage?
I love the mixing and matching of patterns
The Pattern mixing is glorious, as well, the blue in his jacket & shirt and the blue in his eyes is a magnificent match.
i swear, nobody else can pull this off. hb can do no wrong.
wow i like his tie n coat!!
Competing prints!! Love it!.....
nice colors! heh
I wonder what shoes he had paired with that outfit?
sickkkk
Interesting use of patterns.
No glasses?! I'm incredulous!
I was hoping mustachios would come back.
Amazing & surprising costume!
I kinda like it.....
He's totally made out of awesomesauce!
That is one wild and crazy suit. Hamish is growing to look like my Uncle Ken from Northamptonshire.
I love the statue of the French soldier. Gotta love those pop up shops. I ran one once that sold Titanic merchandise. Not the movie, after the 1985 discovery.
Wow, that's a lot of pattern layering! The Pierre Cardin trench is glorious!
Its electric!
The best thing in this picture is, of course, the mustache.
So cool! I love all these patterns.
Peace and love!
It's all in the mix! oh I'm loving this print-mix.. looks stunning!
Ooopph...love the tie and the jacket. I didn't even notice the print of his suit at first....what a visual surprise.
I love that he is using a pattern. I for one have been guilty of neglecting pattern and colour and it's very sad. Quite refreshing to see this.
Thank you! Hoping I may get to run into you in Manhattan somewhere today!
oh Hamish....so awesome.
I'm not sure how I feel about this suit, but I have to say that the whole outfit looks great! And I guess that's what counts, right??!!
Glad the street pix are back... we missed you!
original mix ;-)
Oh. My. God. He looks great with the mustache and lack of glasses!
And that suit...I am a woman, and I'm drooling for it!
No disrespect to Mr. Bowles, but YIKES!
Love the multiple textures, shades and layers. All surprisingly works so well together. It's as if he took the color of his mustache into consideration!
31 flavours of awesome. And I love the 'tache, it totally works on him.
Perhaps I'm not so fashion to appreciate but there's something which doesn't match.. Too many different squares, too many colors, too much of everything.
The best is the self confident face who wears the combination
I guess when there are just that many patterns going on they all cancel each other out and it works!
Such a different way of dressing. linojratelier@blogspot.com
The common thread of blue helps.. definitely an eye-popper. Wonderful trench. I would have gone with a more solid suit..
Perhaps I'm not so fashion to appreciate but there's something which doesn't match.. Too many squares, too many colors, too much of everything. The best is the self confident face who wears it
Less patterns would be nice, the suit, especially the pants results it too much..
Great shot, Sart. That's a wonderful shirt, but the rest of the ensemble is not to my liking. There's too much going on, a clash of patterns and colours. Love the haircut!
In general Mr. Bowles is a bit too eccentric for my taste. Funnily enough, in this photo he looks like (the American comedian) Jeff Foxworthy's more creative brother.
This is like couture; hardly anyone wears it but it gives a vision of what is possible.
Personally, I find it overwhelming but admire the deft mix of pattern. Do love all the blues.
(Yes, I recognize who he is.)
Hamish Bowles has KICK ASS STYLE that's for sure!!! His Paris apartment featured in "World of Interiors" this month displays the same flair he does in his dress. The mustache looks wonderful on him.
Wow, the combination of patterns works on him. Not sure it would work on anyone else! The Pierre Cardin trench must be vintage, he must have dug deep in his closet for it!
As usual, HB can pull off ANY look. He is probably one of the most daring and stylish people I've met (in London, 2003). Gracious chap.
He's a true fashion genius...Its undeniable!!!
ugh!
Wonderful outfit! His suit is from Dries Van Noten. I like also his moustache, a nice dandy. Dries is my favorite designer!
this is one of the best photos i've seen of him.
The blue colors are a marvellous match to his blue eyes, but he should replace the shiny buttons with more "quiet" ones.
Ohhh my goodness. Like everyone else said, the patterns are riveting.
A little quirk that I liked about the jacket was it's lack of patterns, and the buttons of course.
Now he could pull off anything! On anyone else I swear this ensemble would look ridiculous.
I love his trench coat - I really want one now!
Great shot!
xx
interesting how context changes meaning. because that looks a lot like a pimp's suit from a Blaxploitation film.
Is that suit Etro? When I saw it at the store, I thought it was a little too flashy, but my does Hamish quieten it down superbly. Anyone who can mix these patterns together without making you dizzy or want to lose your stomach is a genius, which, of course, our Mr Bowles is.
Energie
i dunno, he looks like a war between the 80s and the 90s.

Awesome, I love the pattern mix and his trench too

is thay suit dries van noten? or ann dubelwhatever?
I forgot.
i like the uniqueness of his clothes, i think he's in fashion, :)
cathy young http://hotgirlsphotogallery.blogspot.com/
love the mix of patterns and the blues - especially like the shirt and the trench.
yes, perfect coat!
so so fabulous....i'd love to see the shoes....and for some reason I'm curious what color his undergarments are....I'm not being crass...it just popped into my head. He's had such a good time with the rest of it...
he looks quite butch here,
nice patterns though surtout DVN suit
i love mixing patterns on men!!!
Only Hamish! Daring soul. I love it, though. I think he looks brilliant. The mustache is also dashing.
so nice~~ I want to there~~
all the patterns are held together by the look in his eyes
a god among men
He looks fantastic! xx
Love this blog!
Love NYC.
Thank yor for bringing this to me!
not so sure about that suit, myself. it looks like pajamas. but i do love the colors and patterns of the shirt and ties.
Sorry, but what dies it together are his tie, shirt and coat. The suit itself lends nothing more than an abominable shape and discreetly distasteful pattern. Seen w/o said additions, or in other combinations (or even w/o the coat) - his suit would be ridiculed at best.
how daring is this man!
jeeze I just love on him.
Where are yer glasses Hamish? You still look incredibly dapper.
Everytime my friend and I see a person who´s dressing like this, we say "MUY SARTORIALIST" (Very sartorialist)..
So:
VERY SARTORIALIST!
Eh all the patterns are held together by the solid coat. Take it off, he looks like bozo the clown.
It's really too much and overwhelming. I like the shirt, but with the tie and suit, it's too jarring at least for my taste. Also, he has a rather small face and the bulky suit overwhelms.
Wow, what a great combination of patterns!
http://newgateknocker.blogspot.com/
age becomes him!
and what a cool pierre cardin trench:)
If the colours were brighter, this would totally fall apart. It's the muted tones (with the bright tie) that keep it becoming too busy.
There's nothing that makes me happier than someone so unafraid to put pattern on pattern. Love.
http://www.bargainbex.blogspot.com/
This is so brilliant!
I was a fan, but now I'm in adoration, nobody does it like Hamish. This weekend I bought a suit of similiar pattern, but single breasted and with shorts (Dries Van Norten,) and I hope I do it as much justice...ROCK ON HAMISH.
Too much, but..I love patterns
He looks much better than I'm used to and the outfit is great. Very nice combination of prints!
The moustache isn't doing him any favors. As a matter of fact, it's really dating his look. Hammish, please lose he moustache, you'll look much, much better.
oh wow! <3
I like the thinking but, I think it's too much. I think the tie should be a solid.
overload, too much going on.
eyes can't rest, must look away.
combination of many patterns, yet he totally pulls it off looking calm, cool and collected.
www.thoughtsbyelicia.wordpress.com
The mixture of patterns work so well.
Pierre Cardin trench is like butta!
Great shot/Scott,
But Schuman......where the shoe man??????
Gladman
Oh no he didn't.?!
Eccentiric is an understatement..However, from what i know, it suits his personality
this makes my eyes fall out of my head out of sheer delight! i wish my whole world was patterned like this!!!
Nice tie
He looks ridiculous.
Honestly, if anybody younger than 40 would pull off such an outfit, I would definitely say that he "overpaced" and looks like a clown and I would hate it... but if men of a certain age come around with such a look it´s incredibly cool, because they incorporate a certain respectful aura!! Great look!
POST THE TOUR DATES PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Oooohhhh....I love it! The suit (jacket) is so amazing! Love the colors and patterns!
...i'm in awe
spectacular.
i wonder, do you ever edit your photographs? like the lighting, exposure, contrast, etc..
wow. just, wow. wonderful.
Too busy. Adding the tie was overkill. Just the shirt and suit with a solid tie would work. Just the suit and the tie with a solid shirt would work. The three together, though, look clownish.
Nice trench coat, but it isn't a key part of this gent's look.
Can anyone tell me what suit that is? Thanks!
well dressed indeed!
Just a big WOW!!
Hamish can mix patterns like no one else. Love him.
the trench anchors the outfit. superbly balanced ensemble.
wow, he looks legendary. mixing all those patterns together, yet still looks really simplistic.
I really like the variety of patterns. overall the outfit, lovesit!
wow, heavy pattern mix! I like it.
I like his expression too. :) symphatetic. he reminds me of someone I knew, but I don't know who.
this is not every body's cup of tea but it's cool and ballsy and it reminds me of Tim Burton movies...
Come on. Really? No way. There is a fine line between high fashion and ridiculousness.
wayyy awesome. is it that cold in NY already?
Hamish has such a genius way with prints, patterns and color.This is the perfect color story for back to the city dressing.
http://tresfraisnajee.blogspot.com/
I love all the different patterns, amazing,perfect mix, only him :)
Why can't he take over at American Vogue? They need his help desperately! This trench coat is amazing~~vintage? Great color. I would love to have coffee with someone as daring as this~~what an imagination! Old school tailoring with a modern/zany twist~~magical!

(Gunshot. Bowles falls to ground, dead. Pan up to Alan Flusser, holding a smoking gun.)
Flusser: It's just been revoked.
Is it already cold enough in NYC to be wearing all those layers?
Too much color
wow!
his face looks like the lovely face of one of my lovers, his profession was climbing mountains, now he`s dead, falling down.
I bought your book for my sister as present for her 55. birthday. wonderful fotos- like here!
Wow, it's amazing how he could make all those patterns work together. He looks put together all right.
Very dapper but it takes a certain personality to be able to pull this off, he does, very well.
Wow. I REALLY like this. Even down to the buttons on his coat. Brilliant!
The Pierre Cardin coat is definitely key here, together with the awesome pattern and cut of the suit.
This guy pull it off very well, and I love that look on him. It wouldn't be me tough. BTW, for non americans, who is Hamish Bowles ?
WOW!! He pulls it off.. Is that a vintage Pierre Cardin trench or a new? Can't tell but the buttons are sweet. Suit, Tie, Shirt it just all works. Get in there my son!
A stylish modern-day Sherlock Holmes anyone?
That's Style!
WOW!
Wow. Everything (and there is a lot here) works with the rest. The outfit is so self-referential it's unbelievable, but it works a charm.
I salute you, Mr Bowles!
Great style , but i think: Only Jacket without trousers and another tie , but very intrepid his style
sorry for my english
Sr. Bon Vivant.
What a strikingly beautiful image... Truly regal.
If these pieces were not in the same color family, this would fall apart. I don't really like the tie pattern nor colors, but otherwise, I like how he's carrying this off.
He looks like a character from Gankutsuou! I swear, that animated series has the best print-on-print ideas ever.
wow....the first look i had at this picture...
his eyes matching the outfit. its almost as if the outfit was not made for him, but for his eyes...
I'm in total lust with this man, and it's not just because he looks smashing. He's especially sexy here in all his dueling, Vuillard-inspired patterns and textures.
Stylish !
it is amazing how well he mixed those patterns. the coat also looks really nice
the suit is too self-conscious and over the top.
perfect. purr-fect. purrrrrrr.
i aspire to be this man. this pattern mixing is perfect
just a grown sexy man. you have to have gained a certain fashion wisdom to pull off this look. amazing.
That one pictures tells us that fall is just around the corner. Love the way he telegraphs the change of season via his clothing.
http://thesluicebox.blogspot.com/
he looks brokenhearted.
the suit pattern is similar to something you would have on PJs. I am not a big fan of the suit, but the coat is amazing, as is the tie. the shirt goes terribly with the outfit because the outfit is busy enough as it is, and is even busier with the added design of the shirt. I would have gone with a solid color shirt
This reminds me of a modern art movement. Now let me see... what is it's name?
I know -- cubism!
But I wouldn't want to hang him on a wall.
You go, Hamish Bowles.
I always love the way he puts himself together.
It's funny how playful his manner of dress is, and how it contrasts with the seriousness of his expression.
...like the 'stache too!
Thats simply fantastic... FANTASTIC!!!
The quintessence of eccentric-chic!
Only in New York and a few places more someone can wear this outfit without being critisized...
I think that is one scary necktie.
one of the worst taste suits i have ever seen. looks like 1980s pajama fabric.
He is a sketch waiting for me to capture.
A bon vivant! I adore the Pierre Cardin buttons..
pve
First of all, BRAVO, ME GUSTA, BELLO, this is was fashion is all about. this is the best execusion ever !!!!!!! my feelings are very very hurt with this outfit.
Love the mustache, lose the raincoat-overkill. Go Hamish-you're the man!
One of the most stylish men alive, he always looks fantastic. A true dandy in the best sense.
The tie is diVINE!
if he tried for once to wear a "normal" suit, he would not be recognized at all. i believe for people like hamish, this is the most important thing- above all to be seen (thus the get-up). otherwise, he would just be passed over for the ordinary (or below average) fellow that he is.
I like the whole ensemble, but what I am really digging is the 1970's Pierre Cardin trench.
This is going up on the bulletin board.
I can not believe how well this works. Shoes? Blue suede Lobb William's?
I´ll have to be honest. I don´t like his outfit. There is just too much thought in it, too much. He does attract attention though.
Oh my God, is that a Courreges trench... ? Hamish Bowles is a fucking legend.
We have Legend Ladies and Gentleman! Mr. Bowles takes menswear patterns and prints to new lengths ALWAYS.
Presence. And once again, the perfect word verification (how does this happen?). Here it is:
"paterin"
I love the way he has mixed the different shades of blue. The mixed patterns, themselves, are the icing on the cake. But i feel best of all is the matching of the golden orange in the tie and the golden Cardin buttons. Hamish is a great inspiration to me.
alan
Pattern overload! I'm into it! the buttons on the topcoat are awesome!
- le 21ème
Excentric in excess!!!
It looks like a clown
Just wish I had the body build to wear a double row button suit with pattern.
i admire his confidence to carry so much pattern, and the plain blue coat balances the whole outfit
but what i love most of all, is those buttons
where can i get some!
Fab. Totally unexpected. Totally individual. Pretty darn insane. And absolutely awesome.
Great outfit.
Diffent squares, but the same tune.
He still looks neat and stylish.
Not everyone can manage this kind of mixing.
Anyway,inspiring me a lot.
Hamish is always ecentric in his style - a real English Dandy but he manages to pull all the patterns together
I have always loved his sense of style. He is my guru. AMAZING! I did not recognize him with the stash..
I adore Hamish, always.
I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut. Overall image is so powerful that the details (patterns, patterns, oh my) only register a few seconds later.
*breathless*
BEST SHOT OF HAMISH, LOVE !!!!!!!!!
This guy looks familiar!
Every once in a while, I see a photo that makes me wish I were a man so I could dress like this.
sooooooo stylish. wow. just wow. a man in his years with so much classy taste left in him... he's like one of those lords out of classic books
Amazing. Show stopper status. This is literally eye candy to me, I love men who dress so dapper. It's just so clean, tailored and complimenting. Can't get enough!
Awesome outfit! This guy reminds me a little bit of Larry Bryggman as seen in Die Hard 3 :P
