On the Street....Subtle Masterpiece, London
This is really a subtle masterpiece of pattern. Dots, stripes, a little sparkle in the scarf - so well done and yet almost under the radar.

post a commentHEY! I sewed a pair like that for a friend for the BALL EN BLANC party in Montreal. Cool!
Under the radar, or front door left ajar? Someone's (crazy) uncle is on the loose!
Wow, you gotta be brave to go out in this. Love the polka dots!
check me out in Barcelona @ www.fashionsnag.com
Wow. He looks great! For me it's something about the fabric of the coat; if it were say, velvet it would be completely over the top, as it is it's perfect.
It all looks very intentional... Yet I still can't shake the feeling that he just doesn't know how to dress himself. Nothing about this look seems timeless to me.
Wow, love the purple of the raincoat and the short harem pants are amazing.
Lurve his shoes... Gorgeous...
shoes or sneakers for this pant
This look is killer. Everyone who doesn't like it is plastic, and to those of you who even get that reference, be happy you do. There are far too few of you in the world. This man is a rogue and a visionary.
it seeems so effortless for me to come out with sucha outfit. kudos.
Love Love Love
Great shot but I'm not haven the shorts. However in the context of the photo they work quite well. Adds nice color and pattern to the pic.
I'm sorry you're stuff is always fabulous, but it looks like he wearing his very large friend's underwear!
what a cool jacket and very snazzy shoes indeed
ooooh!
comme il est beau!
yes this is a perfect exercice de style, made with brio and elegance.....
Wow, the dude's on the street in what look like pajama bottoms.
Under the radar? Really?
I like it, but it is not subtle to me.
funny :)
this is subtle?
really?
I'm thinking he must have some kind of zen instrumentation or communications device hanging down by his knees. otherwise, this is really really nice.
...
but why, really, why chop the length of your legs in HALF?
my kind of guy!
...isn't it a shame when they dress themselves...?
don't love the pants - too costumey.
I like it as luxe pajama/lounge look. The "pants" look like oversized silk boxers. As street wear it looks ridiculous.
nothing says subtle like polka dot pants.
It looks like he went out of the house in his pajamas and bathrobe or went into his closet blind-folded. I think it's an aesthetic disaster.
Anxious for the book signing in São Paulo!
Subtle?!? A purple raincoat, polka dot dhoti capri pants, a striped sweater and a blingy scarf? If you say so, Sart.
Is there a rule about the crotch of your pants not hanging below the hem of your raincoat? It's like he's trying to send a not so subtle message, "I have an enormous . . ."
comme des garcons for H&M?
while i appreciate, i think, the pattern matching, i can't help but think that this outfit is nothing but a hot mess.
not a fan. I really admire people who can mix & match different patterns, but this is not a good example to me.
he knows how to do it!!!
thats awesome.. and purple, for this time of the year is like a countdown for newyears eve>!!!
btw, in love with this new line:::

Unreal, the people that don't get it!
A wonderful mix of colour and texture. I love expressive looks. The coat and shoes are fantastic

ugh! :-(
'nuff said,
..

No.
Yeah, definitely under the radar. Never would have noticed him.
Subtle is definitely not the word. Perhaps sart is referring to how the interesting patterns and colors get utterly lost beneath the veritable shouting contest that the outfit is having with itself.
Yes, the pants are anything BUT "subtle"
How are diaper pants under the rader?
Dig all the colors and patterns. But, I don't dig the cut of the shorts. The shoes are awesome.
I've tried, I really have, but I absolutely cannot get behind the harem pant/drop crotch trend. Just awful.
The mixing of patterns is a neat touch. I would dig this outfit if the shorts weren't harem-style. They just ruin it.
I love everything about this. Subtle is in the attention to detail. Thanks Sart
He looks like he needed a cup of joe first thing that morning so he put on his coat scarf and shoes and ran out in search of one. Each piece of clothing is style...I bet he has an amazing wardrobe! The roomy drawers would make comfy sleep pjs. I like this guy, he makes me smile big!!!
Fantastically cool. Oozes imagination. Thank you Sart.
Interesting, but reminds me of MC Hammer pants, gone capri...
The look is very Japanese, there are many looks in Japan that come across as awkward outside of Japan but are perfectly normal in Japan. Actually I like it but can understand if it comes across as different to anyone that hasn't seen anything similar to it before..
This falls under the category of outfits which I highly admire but could never wear personally (though I hope to in another life!)...
Really cool and funky. The purple raincoat makes him look like a wizard.....Given his Japanese roots (I'm assuming...) I'd say he has full authority to wear this wherever he likes!
nice.
it is subtle...although you can only really see the pants. and to be honest, i was focused on the jacket and the pants, not the patterns :D
www.getobsessed.blogspot.com
with the long satiny jacket, the skirt-pants and the tippy shoes he's clown-monk
Drop crouch aside (they always look like the person has had a little 'accident' in their pants) I love this. I love him. Colours are great, shoes are great. it's just....great! And it makes me want to visit Japan even more now.
SPARKLING GREAT.
LOVE IT!
LOVE SARTORIALIST

he reminds me of a young Yul Brynner starring in "The King & I" What wonderful eye contact and posture. He is fearless.
I don't think that this is all that obscure to the point that it looks like he doesn't know how to dress himself...
The patterns are bold, true. The purple cape thing is also very unusual but the overall look is very refined imo.
One of the best things I've seen on this site. Amazing.
subtle?????
the purple coat is so much fun!
i especially love the shoes though.
The shooooooes! This reminds me of how much I need to get some two-tones & of how much I love them. I don't know about subtle either, but that doesn't detract from this one bit in my opinion. In fact, that pattern combination is quite amazing but definitely a bit too daring for my taste, mainly because I'd never get it that right ...
I'm never stuck for words, yet here we are...

I. Love. It. Unlike a lot of the people on this site, this is true originality.
Great look...understated but with a twist...you have a great eye for capturing the moment on film.
Absolutely stunning.
Tremendous sense of style.
KILLER...
the pants are weird, but the overall look is so cool! outrageous.
thats cool - he is wearing my scarf...and doing it very well!
renegurskov....
makes me proud to be asian

That's about as subtle as a Millwall brick.
rockin' look! especially love the shoes.
He looks like a super hero in pajamas.
I love his get up.
The harem is from Comme des Garcons - looks good on Asian men.
This man must have huge kahonas to wear "Hammer" shorts.
The - in fact - almost under the radar-ness of this outfit makes it even more interesting. A true masterpiece for who knows how to appreciate the more subtle ways of life.
