Comments on "On the Street......London Now, London"
I spot a wonderful keith haring Button.
Not my style - but I love the bravery of this look!
FIRST!!!!!!!
The 80s seem to be alive and kicking. But where the h.... do you find all these people? Are they at the fashion shows? I normally only see them on Portobello or other markets...
He looks like Bam Bam from the Flintstones. Well done.
London; city of bowler hats, double breasted pin-striped suits and rolled umbrellas.
This is wonderful. So many layers to this personal style but at the same time it looks easy. Great statement.
Urban Maasai
Say what?
The best way to wear a bow tie! Thanks for all the shots of London, a little bit of dirty never hurt anyone.
out-of-the-box, unique, a "left of the spectrum" style that helps establish reference points for mainstream. have to admit though, i don't know if i could concentrate having a conversation with this dude - it's a little much
sorry, i don´t feel it...
Very daring!
but weird anyway.....
I like it!
Wow - there's an identity crisis. Breakfast at Tiffany's? Bam Bam? Aunt Jemima? African or American Tribal? White boy? Man? Woman?
So confusing, yet altogether fascinating to look at.
He is a brave soul!

I don't know if this is what the Maasai have in mind for fashion.
another hot mess, but somehow i find this less messy than the other guy with purple rain coat and dropped crotch shorts from yesterday.
LOL!!!! okie dokie.... He's got a set of Bollocks thats for sure. Nice button though.
whoa...is that a beehive?
Spectacular!
Sartorial?
i think he's beautiful
Punk African or African Punk ?
i love it- especially the dangling ipod earbuds overlapping the tribal looking neckpiece.
You Know What?
Really quite Beautiful!
What the . . .
Actually, I like it . . .
I love it when someone has fun getting dressed for the day...he looks like he did. I also love the Keith Haring badge. Fun shots from London, Mr. Sart!
I see a bit of Amy Winehouse here.
Haha, totally love the top knot. I can relate...I refuse to wear my hair down until its grown out to a reasonable and less ugly length...I do think he rocks the up 'do better than I do, though.

Ok. I guess I am too conventional. This photo did nothing but make me laugh. Is he in an African dance troupe?
ok, I like it...but..is the dead cat on his head really necessary?
this guy went to st martins with me. he always puts a lot of effort into his looks and they are always unique, but somehow it doesn't feel natural to me, it doesn't flow within itself and to me, that is the most important ingredient of style...
you've got to be bloody joking.
Oh dear.
Original? Maybe.
Stylish? No.
he should model
Looks like an afro pick in the back of the hair too. Interesting.
It's different and yet I love it. I'd rock that look any day!
wreaks of "trying too hard"...
So much to look at.I wonder what else he was wearing.This is what self expression looks like.
WOW. So much hair...! Is there a religious affiliation that I am missing here? I love his adornments - especially the bow in the bandana. Nice pick.
xx
HIS face he has such a familiar look
HOTT.
so, I count 4 cultures he's appropriating ... does that seem right to everyone else? am I missing something?
looks smart, and the ear buds polish it off. I can see how this could irritate some people whose cultural heritage has become just one more artfully placed bauble.
Little tribual...Little King and I
this is wonderful, i'm inspired by the look and the bravery of wearing it
Awsome, a new age hippy.
Good job!!
no! you all got it wrong! it's fucking Frida Kahlo! that's exactly what this look screams!
While this may be original, it's really trying too hard. It "insists upon itself". It seems like a costume.
A+ for being yourself... I really this photo …after I got pass my own judgments A+ kiddo!
Is anybody else fascinated by the shape of his head, and the contrast his topknot makes against it. It's so perfectly balanced, it almost doesn't seem like it is his actual hair. not to mention the intricacies of his hair knot. As much as you all may not like the hair, I think he'd look naked without it.
Wonderful - what a delightfully eclectic mix!
It almost seems to be a defensive look, the way certain butterflies have spots on their wings that make predators mistake them for owls. No one can step up to this man because he momentarily paralyzes the mind with his clever pastiche ensemble, which includes his face itself. If you cover the image from the bow down, you believe it's Amy Winehouse. His Peruvian neck-disc is likely razor-sharp. Also I really like that the Apple earbuds he sports emerge from the spine and not the gut.
okay, okay. expect the unexpected!
each individual accessory makes a statement but comes together nicely. the hairdo admittedly is not the most flattering but kudos for having the creativity and balls to pull this off. he's a daring dreamboat!
I want to marry this character! I wish people, especially gentlemen would dress like this more often. You're a darling for capturing this!
he's still trying to work it out. give him a few more years & his look will be awesome. the least 'try hard' part is the earphones!
He reminds me of Björk and the cover of her album Homogenic... Brave look
I'm pretty sure that the necklace is from the Lisu tribal group in Northern Thailand/Burma
Drosophila M. so beautifully stated! What an amazing look. True Art. Perfection.
winner of the fashion award 2010.
hands down.
bow infront of your master, crowd!
-
the keith haring button combinded with the massai neck thing is beyond anything a mortal can achieve - let alone 'pull off'.
again: fabulous.
Cross between Maasai warrior and Frida Kahlo. What's he wearing down below?
Here in one photo is proof that very few can capture what our dear Sart captures on the regular. The mzungu masaai is confusing the hell out of me, but of one thing I am certain: Scott Schulman rocks!
Don't like the look, but I would love to the the cojones to do something like this. I feel edgy wearing something other then blue, black or grey.
I'm kinda loving this look.

OMG- It's like an Afrikanar Doris Day! Those eyes and that neck- ethnic dream boat!
LOVE THIS STYLE!
The bow (especially the placement) reminds me of what they put on the head of a new born baby girl—so with that in mind, this is kind of messing with my head.
Bearded New Born Baby Bow Boy. BNBBB
I'm not judging, I'm just amusing myself. I enjoy this image, I can't stop looking—fascinating.
Really, really and really Unique!!!
How creative!!
Would love to talk with him!!!
HE´S JUST GREAT. LOVE IT!!

CHICMUSE
Oh wow. I'm feeling the Jonathan Demme movie "Something Wild" aesthetic in this outfit...especially the first half hour. Is that crazy? Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Yea, Im not loving it. Its a hot mess, but I like the necklace alot, it might be the crazy amy whinehouse hair that is killing it for me.
wow? is that his real hair? how did he get it to do that?
I think this is fantastic. A modern tribal representation of yesteryears.
His necklace is key and would look amazing of a female with a strapless dress.
Sart, I'm forever thankful for your timing.

Tribal!
an eclectic mix of cultures i feel jus shows he takes influences from many different genres
the bandanna is also an expression of african culture or maybe jus a pretty tupac.
i think his hands and arms will have an array of bangles and rings
an new york hustler lost in Africa, startin his own tribe!
the photo itself is way beyond style--totally mesmerizing. Though I'd crop it at the forehead to get rid of that distracting thing on his head--but the lighting the colors are so fabulous.
I love the African necklace thing. Hopefully at 21, I'm not too old for it.
On him, it's perfect.
Wow...
does anyone else think the hairdo (including bowtie bandana) is samurai-inspired? it's done in a slightly girlier way though.
like the overall look.
So next century.
awesome
Modern-day Japanese/Shinto perhaps ?...what I really like is the way the light shows his straight cheek bones and the raised area around his mouth... fixed eyes...like the old Japanese prints and woodblocks
Holy shit it's dustin! Brick lane local made in onto the sartorialist, he use to say it only took him ten minutes to do his hair....
Wow, earbuds as an accessory. Works for me.
a bit of everything, in the hope that something, somewhere might just work kinda look.
oh wow! i used to see this guy in shoreditch/spitalfields area when i lived in london! i remember passing him in a cab and both the driver and i gasped simultaneously as we spotted him! what a look! i have the same african tribal necklace and am now inspired to wear it.

get dressed and then take off one thing. he still has too many little things.
it's hard being liberal sometimes..
WO - I was sat behind this fella on the bus a few weeks back...his hair is so well put together you can help but take your hat off to him. Love the rest of the look though I must say he should talk a little more quietly on the phone in future! Great pic!
He's got it! Not too much, not too little, juuuuust right - the goldilocks effect!
he looks almost like a portrait of a bygone era...then you see the ipod...he looks awesome.
He looks like a cross between a Hans Holbein the younger painting and a Japanese woodcut print. Quite intriguing.
I love that he's shy yet bold--his eyes say one thing and his hair says another. Love the picture!
Japanese hair, American bandana, Maasai necklace and an ipod indeed the world is shrinking.
Amy Winehouse meets Masai warrior! This is...awesome.
i love this......ooooooooooo
i love people that wear something outside of the box.
i would never wear anything like that...but it looks good on him.
Hm...no, not doing it for me. It can be cool mixing things up a bit, but there's something about this that just doesn't say anything.
Words fail me!!!! Not in the caribbean, believe me!
Brave but that's a NO DEAL.
*Screams* this is brilliant!
I *LOVE* this look!!!!! I don't know what his bottom half looks like (obv.) but this chest-up view is just perfect.
Sorry, but this is wrong on so many levels from my perspective, but I really do appreciate that this is still considered 'style' regardless of my worthless opinion!
im jealous of his eyes there so gorgeos
this look is so contrived,take the bow off and then he has a look.
I love this. He's young and manages to be overserious and frivolous at the same time - and it's just a beautiful portrait. The background in this sets everything off, too. It's just a flash in youth, in time. It's great.

very strange!!!!
i was sitting behind this guy at LFW!! Hes a character! Great style...
He is extreme without looking cartoony or like he's trying to hard, I love it!
Oh that I were so brave!
a son, whose sense of style any mother would be proud of!
Issamu Kamide is right. Frida Kahlo. See http://www.tate.org.uk/images/cms/12776w_selfportraitwithmonkey_kahlo.jpg or similar.
In San Francisco, this would be a Burning Man festival look aka dirty hippie(which I don't like). But for some reason, perhaps the way he does his hair or arranges the bandana, that makes this outfit less hippie and more high art/fashion.
i want to know how he did his hair.
I see this guy all over the place, he looks amazing all the time, the perfect combination of Kahlo meets Masai.
He has a great blog as well:

sorry..which is your tribe...?
he used ipod. why dont he brings an ethnic drum?
boo Yaa Tribe?
I'm sorry but not actually stylish I'm afraid, simply another east london art student
Are you f-ing kidding me? That's just rediculous!
brave and original.
and i apriciate he ended up here.
I saw this guy in Topshop when I was living in London and working at Erdem over the summer! He fascinated me, he was with his friends looking at all the womens accessories. It was during the LFW celebrations on Oxford Street.
He definitely had an aura about him, he was incredible!
Couldn't believe it when I saw him on here but not surprised at all.
Shades of Adam Ant!
i don't know what to say... hmmm... the necklace is cool! the hair hairstyle looks great, if she's a woman i guess... nice (blue) eyes though! - rein (theanne69@yahoo.com):)
Umm, i actually want to know how he did that hair. Any suggestions guys?
Very stunning photo. He has such intense eyes.
