Mr.G

I love the colour of his shoes!
Please check my blog out :)
The dude — too much of too much.
Love his shoes....and hers!
what a lovely couple. even though none of their clothes match, as a couple, this very factor makes them match
It all matches a d it looks great !
I'm not sure I'd want to pass the time of day with people who tried so hard to look like that...
So cool!!
Cool couple!!!!
thesingular.blogspot.com
oh what beautiful people!
Now that's eclectic style! I want to have dinner with them!!!!!
Loved the guys cardigan!
Vibrant colors! Very nice.
I love those who are not afriad to do something different!
My favourite photograph of yours ever;They are perfect British eccentricity. Thankyou once again!
great fun! so much better than these celebs and models that dress quite conventionally.
I think you really should do a special publication about guys with beards.

LOVE THE SHOES!!
they are the perfect couple!! their shoes are fantaboulous!!!!!
http://thepencil-filledmug.blogspot.com/
Cute and colour couple! I hope my hubbie and I will be like them in the future!
freaky, haha.
Great mix of pattern & colors
strange!
What a great couple! I love the orange coat and the tweed and blue shiny shoes look great together! My boyfriend just shaved his beard today, unfortunately, because this is really the new statement for men!
amazingly stylish, both of them!
im loving the vivienne.
only thing I can say (acctually write) is 'wow!'
www.hand-me-down-shop.blogspot.com
English Eccentrics! :o)
i like his look very much but i cant say the same about the her
wow!
Love them! :-)
I love the warm colors together and btw, aren't those kron shoes?
Love those little details in this picture! The glasses, that lovely red lipstick, those outstanding blue shoes, his mixed patterns and her dazzling orange coat!
SHEBAM ! POW ! BLOP ! WIZZ !!
LOVE those turquaz shoes!
how extraordinaire, the atmosphere you can see between the two of them.
really love her bag
interesting combination of colours, patterns and textures
This is such a cute couple. They actually designed the shoes she is wearing and a whole line of shoes.
I love how he wore his shirt with a tweed! And the way she paired her dress with her stockings!
Very cute couple!
There is a science fiction theory which states that there are an infinite number of parallel universes. Thank you for this look inside one!
I like their confidence and attitude. Her shoes and red lipstick are beautiful! BUT there is an overall clownish feel to their outfits...
I like this Vivienne W. bag. BTW this couple is so fabulous and cheerful :) lovely blue shoes!
Something more to wear?
They look good together.
They look so comfortable with their ridiculousness. And I always appreciate this much color! and her tights subtly match her dress!
So London. Exactly what I like about England. In Paris you would never find people dressed like that.
Love them both, they look so good toghether!
I think her shoes are so to die for! Does anyone know what brand they are?
Love those electric-blue shoes and the Vivienne Westwood bag
www.ashluxe.blogspot.com
Lovely :)
http://littlevintageprincess.blogspot.com/
ooo those are from Iceland and own two really cool stores in Reykjavik called Kron and KronKron.
They also have their own shoe label which is amazing, she is wearing shoes form it btw. its called Kron by Kronkron and are truly my favorite shoe brand. Each shoe is like a piece of art!
vivienne! now that's true london style
Love anyone who takes so many risks with their clothes - love her orange coat in particular. Bet they make many people smile!
what a beautiful couple--I'd love to see how they decorate!
so original I love it!
what a beautiful couple!
beautiful orange coat
Love them together!

I like the shoes a lot - reminds me of the Argentinian shoe designer Silvie Geronimi's work.
The repeated design in her leggings and dress are pretty smart too. Would never wear it myself but I love looking at it
I think they are Icelanders and that she is the designer and owner of kron by kron kron... http://kronbykronkron.com/ Love here design!
The English have always excelled with the "Getting Dressed in the Dark"look. Kudos to this couple.
www.kron.is Icelandic design
such a colorful couple.
only in london.
Polished yet unpretentious. Good job!
so british! their outfits work really well together.
I never thought that many bright colors could make me feel so sad.
Yeah that's Hugrún Árnadóttir & Magni... A icelandic love/design couple who own Kron and KronKron in Reykjavik and their own shoelabel kron by kronkron.
That trench!! That trench!!
I must have it!!
Fabulous!
This only works because everything is so consistently mismatched. She almost broke the consistency with the angle pattern on her socks almost matching the angle pattern on her skirt. And the fact that his neon shoes are too similar to her neon jacket . . .
Otherwise . . . it works.
I want that purse. Anyone have any ideas who makes it?
Wee that's Hugrún Árnadóttir & Magni... A icelandic design/lovecouple... They always make me smile :-D
Oh . . . what a mish mash of awesomeness.
Too much in my poor opinion, but great to see! They're just perfect to each other!
Her bag is really cool...
hmmm... one might initially say.. colorful. Sorta andre 3000'ish.
I adore those blue shoes! So shiny and bright~
The patterns on her stockings and coat work really well together too.
Me encanta !!! Me too ... i love who takes colors risks ...here in CHILE people dont do this frequently ...
Wow! very good, very nice!
This is something that you really don't get a chance to see often in New York. COLOR!! It's cold here, and the theme this winter seems to be gray's, blacks, and neutral colors. These two would stick out, and rightly so. Beautiful.
Rule Britannia!
EXPLOSION OF COLOR, looks haphazardly beautiful
http://bespok.blogspot.com/
First time to this site. Very nice. These people you shoot on the street are friends, right? Or they are pre-arranged? If not your luck is amazing. The pictures are lovely-very smart to shoot in flat light all the time.
LIke the couple as a concept-it's hard to find a mate with the same fashion sense-maybe she dresses him? Or the reverse? She's got too much going on-reminds me of Edina Monsoon. Love him. Love men in those transparent glasses.
A round of applause for this couple is due. The abundance of colour and textures is extremely intriguing. However, his shoes deflect attention from his whole look and her VW bag is a tad too dominant! His opaque fleet street esq specs and her orange mac are immense!
A chameleon would explode
I need to know WHERE those shoes came from!
i love how the colors on her dress go right into her tights.
and the pop of color on the man's shoes.
She is pulling it off better than he is... though I wish her hair was "up." I do like his shoes, but the shirt is a bit of a stretch.
the upper parts of her tights match her dress and the lower parts match the shoes.
but oh god how i just hate that vivienne westwood bag!
She's got entirely too much going on, not unlike the little girl caught playing in mommy's closets. Not flattering, no matter what country she's from.
He needs to lose the shoes; otherwise, I applaud his quirkiness/personal style.
wow!
what a fabulous and stylish couple!
i love their outfits!
http://momfashionworld.blogspot.com/
i see that clashing is still cool.
plus, they look strangely familiar.
So British eccentric! Great! Even If I would never dress like that myself, and I am not so fond of bthat much colors in the same outfit, but they look happy, and make other ppl happy with all that color.
Fashion victims out on a stroll.
Colorful and eccentric couple
This is what I hate about fashion...costuming and just plain tring too hard to be "different". What happened to "efortless dressing"? I see these two and I want to run for a pair of sweats.
I think I would love to go where they are going. I love his glasses and her use of diamond figures in her outfit. This is England but they don't look British to me.
We have the same eye :)

Like somebody said earlier this is Magni and Hugrún from Reykjavík, shoe designers and owners of KronKron store in Iceland.
She's wearing a pair from their awesome shoe
collection http://kronbykronkron.com/
Here are more photos of the shoes from the marvellious icelandic photographer Saga:

Comment at 9:19am made me laugh out loud- they certainly do capture "alternate reality chic," which someone else points out also= English eccentric and for those of us who don't quite get it HOT MESS-
haha reminds me of the couple on real housewives of new york. All about fashion and bright shoes.
xoxo,

This couple are great! I love when you shoot people that just radiate personality, the people that you pass on the street and can't help smiling with.
They are ah colorful, but not altogether attractive.
His jacket doesn't fit. Look at those ugly shoulders.
It's so fun to read other posts and learn that this 'colourful British couple' is actually Icelandic and designed the shoes she is wearing. Adorable!!!
Awww, they are adorable:)
http://loveyourfabulousself.blogspot.com/
Its so vibrant, i love it!
bighairandbikinis.blogspot.com
There's a whole lot of pattern going on here.
Help us! We need attention.
I'm sure if you separated their outfits there are good pieces in there, but together, it's just a loud jumble.
I understand why you too their photo, but it truly does not "do it" for me.
They don't give up!!!
HAHA - look at all the "coordinated" women in the background, wishing they were in this couple's place.
great bag!
What a playful & unique colours, textures & patterns from both. Wouldn't have thought of that combo myself! CUTE & DARING! eLLy*
She looks kind of ragtag, but he is amazing. Love his shoe color!
They're too far out for me, but I love the blue shoes paired with the plaid blazer. Edgy!
I love the splash of colour they had. Soo unique and well put together!

ooh wow :) now this is the sartorialist i know and love!
www.getobsessed.blogspot.com
I can't believe this pair made The Sartorialist. They are just another hipster couple trying too hard to stand out and have intentionally made themselves look much older than they probably are. As for them looking "so London", go to any major city in N. America and you will see far too many people dressed exactly like this. It's not chic, it's not sophisticated, it's trendy and tiring.
...Congratulations for this picture...100% Originals!!:-)
It´s not really a style I would warmly recommend to somebody, on top of that this guy reminds me of Ned Flanders from the Simpsons.
I like the variety of patterns and I love the bag!
I agree with Laarni--not advisable, exactly, but this is truly genius. Puts a smile on your face.

I love it with all my heart~!

love the couple, love the style, I think she does a better job pulling it off, though,... his shoes are too much..
Adorable! I love everything about their look :)
Please direct your attention to the blonde in the background. She looks super fierce.
I like what that guy is wearing; it reminds me of grandma's dining room, with aqua blue ceramic humming birds nestled on the floral mantel piece. HOT!
omg.. i wanna that westwood bag too!!
Fantastic!!
http://ko-rethinking.blogspot.com
adorable!
i love the mans shoes and shirt.
Have a nice week!
trying way too hard
I want the Blue Patient leather shoes he has on... only in a woman style! LOL. They are just neat!
His shirt!!!!!! Her bag!!!
Super dreamy sight to see.

hmmm, maybe something aggressively child-like about this one, a sort of faux-naive, faux-post-ironic look.
on the one hand, you have to admire the commitment to a singular vision. on the other hand, it's a thin line between fashion and costume, and not interesting when you cross it. just in time for halloween?
oh well, it's a free country and god save the queen. not feeling this look, but thanks for the food for thought, sartorialist.
beautiful couple!
Fantastic!
less is more but more is more fun
Love his sweater! and her attitude.
cute and chic
are they a couple? because, if so, they are the cutest couple in the world.
Love his shirt. Love her shoes.
This is awesome. The only thing I'm not liking are the guys shoes. Everything else is great. They work very well together stylistically. I can honestly say that I am jealous of what they appear to have as a couple. One of my favorites thus far.
true love.
love her bag.
i think the collared shirt + the blazer + red cardigan wins hands down.
they seem to be telling the camera, "Yes, we are perfect for each other.
I think they need hats.
quirky!
I'm all for having fun with fashion, but she looks like a five year-old who scavenged her mother's closet for dressing up. And simply adding a designer bag does not make this any less hurtful for my eyes.
Their shoes are super. The colors transmit energy !!!!!
Loving the orange! And the tights, and his jacket and shoes... and glasses.
They are just too fun.
And I am bringing out my red lipstick!
Inspired.
SO much fun to look at!
Anon 9:19 AM, comments like yours make the blog worth reading although I'm surprised it made it through.
Pietro
So great to see people dressing to express their personalities rather than blindly following trends! Love the colours and geometric patterns.
Anyone know where I can get a pair of her tights?
they both look like they just walked out of a wes andersen movie - something aristocratic, something exotic, something out of place...
good though!
ooooh i've been after this bag for ages! and are those the kron kron shoes?! Great shot!
http://mocha-soy-whippy.blogspot.com/
Sorry, they are not British. They are Icelandic. Weather you like them or not !
what are these incedible shoes she's wearing??
my first thought upon seeing them is that they look nordic. Not just their physical features but those clothes. Norwegians, Swedes, Icelanders tend to dig that Dr. Seuss aesthetic. Someone above mentioned that they are Icelandic. But of course they are.
It's entertaining and certainly not boring and I assume they've got some kind of fun event to attend but otherwise, as two people walking down the street it brings to mind adults who escaped from the mental hospital and broke into a thrift store selling old Cirque du soleil apparel.
Yeah, they're cute ad adorable and I like that they've got real personal style and all that but really.... they look a little looney tunes.... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Terribly cool, so much nice details....

I have to admit I was rather bemused by so many people calling this pair "British eccentric". I don't know how any other Brits here feel, but from my experience, the 'British eccentric' is not necessarily just "hot mess" as someone before me said.
This couple are indeed eccentric, but far too trendy to be British!
However, to hear they are Icelandic makes a lot more sense to me! haha!
Those blue shoes and severely pegged (zoot?) trousers ruin it for me.
if you love colors .. your mate will love too;-)
too quirky by half. her look isn't bad, but he needs to change his shoes.
He looks like the lead singer of Woodpigeon. Does anyone from Calgary read this blog?
these two are an Icelandic couple. living in Reykjavik. He has a hair solon and she, surprise, a shoe store. They are lovely people! It's nice to see them and Scot, glad you shot them. Cody
really colorful! meliiike
All black. Nope. Strappy bondage shoes. Nope. Cell phone, cigarette, coffee, bottled water and stuck up attitude. Nope. Emaciated. Nope. Insecure. Nope.
Risky. Over thirty. Interesting. fun.
I think they look fantastic. People should wear color. Why be boring. I also LOVE his shoes. They are the best part.
colour! please! I want some more!
They are beyond fabulous....
It's unique, but I think it's too much but I love the shoes!
KA-VOGUE-GAY-RA
GO IIIIIIIIIICELAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
There was no need to add "London" in the title, I can't imagine this couple in any other city, really.
what an ADORABLE couple!!!!
they are both awesome, but the guy - killer in every way from the hair/beard to the shoes.
facial hair is fashionable I think. She looks good too...liking the colours!! And the dudes shoes...KAPOW!!
From any of the style blogs I've seen from Iceland, I get the impression that so many Icelanders have very unique looks, and are not afraid to mix colours and patterns. This couple looks like they would be very interesting to talk to.
And this... is how to do it!
I love this couple...so many colours!lovely bag!
Love to see proper colors here! Was getting a bit tired of the subdued/black/neutral colors theme. How refreshing!
Those two are certainly not boring or afraid when it comes to dressing (as I suspect many readers are with regard to prior comments)
Yet another reason I should never have left Iceland. These two are the embodiment of everything there is to love about mankind.
Less is not more, less is just less. More more MORE - bring it on!
For some reason I though of Mama Cass when i saw this photo!
The clothes are reminiscent of the 70s but have a very chic, cool twist at the same time.
This seems like such a mish-mash of clothing but, amazingly, it all works!
i love the mix of patterns
Anon 1:27 PM- Love your comment!
LOL, the guy really does look like Ned Flanders!!!
Love her shoes!
Freakish cool! I just love kooky people who have no idea they are kooky....fierce attitude and style.
Dude is flyy but the chick looks like a clown
arent they the designers for kronkron shoes?!
I would be amazed if they are British.
she´s like Naomi Watts in 30 years!!! (and with another husband ,of course)
They are not english... they are from iceland and yeah that are kron shoes ;)
well... they are NOT british so you're un-amazed :-P they're icelandic and owner of Kron and Kronkron stores and the shoes they're wearing are their own designs
I love Kron and I love Kronkron!
Aaa they're total geniouses!
And they're icelandic not british and design these shoes:
http://kronbykronkron.com/
which they sell in their stores in Iceland, Kron and Kronkron
:D
love, love, love and want that parka. oh, yes, they go together very well.
cool
sonia rykiel, vivienne westwood, kron by kronkron...i love it all
very nice chic freak fashion style...
eclectic divinity... they are works of art... the creative centre of my brain is firing up with stimulation....
THEY ARE FROM ICELAND <3
