On the Street....Back to Barcelona, Spain
Some of my Barcelona shots had to wait till the GQ issue I was shooting them for finally hit the stands. When I first saw this guy from across the street, I thought he was wearing some kind of crazy suspenders. As it turns out he had just delivered some art supplies....sometimes confusion breeds inspiration. I mean, suspenders that hook into your belt loops seems very Ann Demeulemeester

post a commentBrilliant rugged chicness; I love how he uses hardware as accessory.
Why is he wearing fishing hooks? He looks a bit like Keanu Reeves
His scarf's motive is the ultra-typical Argentinean 'guarda pampa', design that traditionalist gauchos wear in the ponchos, vests and belts.
He looks cool! And you're rigth very a la Ann Demeulemeester! Oh.. you have to come to Portugal some day!
www.dimogonda.blogspot.com
hello, he's mine
What is it about Europeans? I have followed/lived fashion all my life. Why now, do my eyes open and see for the first time how far behind them we are here in North America? Don't get me wrong, there are some very good looking well put together Americans out there. I know this because I see them on your blog, but somehow we are different. We don't seem to have the consistently effortless flow or should I say natural feel for fashion that comes out of Europe. This young man, a delivery guy, is wearing an outfit he put together. At this young age, he is already developing his own look. I adore him from head to toe. Oh to be in Barcelona and smell the orange blossoms.
Fantastic scarf. What wonderful eclectic style. As for the "suspenders", I wondered about those before I read what you wrote.
He looks so cool! Great shot! I love Barcelona!
He looks so warm and cozy. I love the laid back chic.
I want to be a boy!!!!!
His trousers look like sweat pants. A man should only wear sweat pants in public if he's given up on life and even then it's not a good idea.
Superb
scarf and hat... nice style
* meraviglia!
www.rivieramare.blogspot.com
DEFINETELY LOVE IT.
GREAT ONE.

CHICMUSE
what a nice dude!

Hmmm. I like! If Jason Lee wasn't a scientologist, grew up in Europe and liked escaping the city for a bit of adventure sports...this would be him.
But as a girl I will just chat him up and then steal the scarf.
I love the scarf and makeshift belt.
authentic hipster right there.
welcome to barcelona scott!
I like the top half, not to sure about the trousers...
I'm going Barcalona soon, let's see if I meet him.
effortless great. I want to meet him.
Bungee cords-why not?!! And no, he is not wearing sweat pants, unless they now have belt loops, zipper and button fly. Creative chap.
AUUUUU!!! He is a total beauty!!!
Oh my God!
And I just love his "scoundrel" alike style!
Definitely, this guy makes my heart stop beating!
I wonder if he was from Argentina, because of the scarf. I want one know!

Hey Kathleen... i think that being focused on beauty on a daily basis does much to promote an effortless style. Over time, grace and elegance and balance become part of the everyday vocabulary.
I used to have suspenders that hooked into my belt loops when I was a five-year-old school starter. Wonder what happened to them...
beingmanly suspenders and braces
Thought you would like to know that the pattern in the scarf comes from pampa indians in Argentina. If original, kind hard to get and very expensive.
Great pictures as always !
Cheers
Spanish men are just hot, period.
fridayswithcilantro.blogspot.com
Such a cool look. He doesn't seem like the type of guy that would let you take a photo to demonstate his sense of style...
I always wonder how you approach these naturally stylish, yet, laissez-faire men?
i agree with Christina.. Spanish men are so yummy.. next to the Greeks and the Brazilians..
doesnt he look a lot like jake gyllenhaal?
Cool!
@Kathleen: As an Spaniard + South Korean (mixed) person I can tell you guys that simply said is not a matter of style only... They have the atmosphere, architecture, way of life and personality ... My girlfriend is European (from Gyula,Hungary) and she says that Americans are trying to be European and not create and forge an unique style... For example for them when they see someone with a BIG Tory Burch logo it says... American + has money + no "personal" style...
This guy looks like the typical Argentinean so called artist immigrant in Barcelona - there are tons of them, look for them in the artsy hippy markets or near the Gothic neighbourhood. But honestly, do not expect much fashion...
We shot him a couple of couple of years ago. Pablo is really stylish and he is also an artist...If i am not wrong i think he plays in a band.
I just saw this in my husband's GQ! The Spanish are so stylish.
he looks so ridiculously cool
one word: YES!
awh, i had to see thoso pictures you took in my city, barcelona.
actually, i heard about you after left: i read that interview in "la vanguardia" and i felt in looove with your style, and your pictures and all of yours.
okay, enough.
hope to see more pics from spain.
love.
margarita.
Be still my heart.
So, are multi-use rubber bands the next 'must have' accessory..?!
the makeshift belt reminds me of the shoelace belts skateboarders have been wearing for years. very comfortable look he has here.

What a funny guy :)
http://fashion-colorhater.blogspot.com/
I really like the post "A Graceful Man, A Gentleman"! :)
I NEED that scarf.
I bet my head he is Argentinean, not only because of the scarf (really has to be a poncho) but his complexion, color and overall look.
I so much look forward to your visiting Argentina. I guess yo could get some very interesting shots. Being a country that is permanently in crisis, the creativity stands in for the lack of shopping. Should be great.
Ha, I like the story behind the picture :) Photos that have a story are always the best
Did you talked with him? There is any chance that he is Argentinian? I have the same scarf and is made in Argentina. He looks more Argentinian than Spaniard: the long hair, the beard, the old coat, very Argentinian.
He just looks lovely, and has a very kind face.
I enjoy his scarf! He is pretty cute too. xo

hombre!!!!
por fin una ciudad española
A bit unkept for me but I love the accessories.
mysocietynewyork.com
Scott, you must visit more frecuently Spain... Is a mixed stile between english and italian way of to be dressed that make it unique, absoluty personal and fresh. Simply... Spanish style.
I love the vivid colors and that little belt!
I believe is the tipical spanish hippy... there is a millium of them in Barcelona (and, unfortunately, they aren't fashion but exceptions like this...). There is more stylist people in Barcelona...
i love that scarf! such a cool pattern

vraiment fraiche la tenue
j'aime beaucoup
Quite unique. A true show of "individual style". I like it.
Great photo, thanks for comming to Bcn!
I like the folksy, 70s vibe going on here. Kinda like Pacino in Serpico.
Love Barcelona.
I would hit on him for sure!
totally it would be sooo Ann Demeulemeester!!! I havent seen those kind of hooks since in was little and went boating with my dad.

Awesomely handsome and rugged. Its like Boulder, CO meets the Swiss Alps. Lovely in every sense.

I'm in total agreement with Kathleen in regard to style/fashion seems to be in the genetic make up of Europeans. This guy looks great, I sooo love Barcelona.
Always so great to see guys with uniqueness and individuality! Love the hat and belt!!!
johnbenjaminpritchett.blogspot.com
Wooo-hooo what a colouring outfit! I love SPAIN!!!!
Mr Sart. Love the octopus straps!! And his scarf is great. xxx
wooahhh, HOT!
We call it "octopus" in Spain, very useful...
Fashion comes from art and art(ists) can be so fashionable...
He looks like Cat Stevens c. 1970. (I am so old).
Argentine style definitely!
I love this look. His scarf is wonderful. The hat reminds me of a fishermans...wuts around his neck and leg...are they just suspenders?
http://thebuzzonfashion.blogspot.com
yes, he looks like argentinian. very handsome and great style.
He looks big, like Jeremy Sisto playing a lumberjack.
Heeeeyyyy... I'm so haapy you came to barcelona! I thought we weren't fashionable enough for you! I love rhis guys, I'll keep my eyes open while walking arround Passeig de Gràcia
this is just too awesome
Barcelona people has such great style! This background looks like its close to the pier...i was just there a month ago and i want to go back!
"What is it about Europeans? I have followed/lived fashion all my life. Why now, do my eyes open and see for the first time how far behind them we are here in North America?"
I think part of the answer may be that, in my experience, Europeans are not hell bent on consumerism and owning everything they see. They find a few good pieces and put them together with flair and ease. Have you ever noticed the closets in Europe? Slim to none there, not many places to hid every trendy little item.
I think I have fallen inlove with this man.
inspiration on the streets!
Barcelona.This is only a very small portion of our strong power to surprise....Visit the South as well....you will be delighted.
Between crisis and inspiration.
oohh Barcelona... the best city in the World!! haha (obviosly, I'm from there!)
I love it!
I am not surprised that you thought the guy was wearing some kind of statement piece - he looks so cool that the "art supplies" kind of blend in. I bet he did it on purpose!
So hippy-chic!
www.abitoffashion.com
More than the "suspenders", I'm really digging the scarf!
At last, BCN! Can't wait to see more on the blog. Ah, to be at Bar del Pi right now. This guy resembles my favorite waiter there.
prety sure i'm in love. it's like "my so called life" grown up and spanish style.
His scarf is made in Argentina, I have exactly one like this!!!, it is inspired by gaucho's attire referencing a Pampas indian pattern.resim
q bello!
Very interesting! Makes me want to keep looking. The taste level is also there. The color choices and mix of textures looks nice.
Love the look, hes a bit little gael garciaesque...
♥ bettydarling.blogspot.com ♥
Can't get enough of hats....
Very handsome man indeed.
www.sweetandtenderfashionista.blogspot.com
wow very nice. Bungee cords are so practical. he oozes style
OH! I LOVE I LOVE!!!! ;)
Mmm, I'll take two thanks...
love this
Fabulous ... except maybe the bungee cords, unless perhaps he's in the middle of a move. Then they would be a must.
definitivamente un gaucho argentino chic!
yeah! eso es Barcelona, coño!
that scarf pattern... it smells like Reconquista. great accessories, great details.
any other pics from Spain?
he's handsome!!and truely a unique style!viva espana!
lovely his necklace.
un mot : sexy
Gorgeous !
TUIS GUY IS ARGENTINO!
he's not spanish)
yet stunning. that scarf... you gotta know its story
Everybody is saying the same: Is he or not Argentinian? Someone know him? I believe he is.
Nice photo...those suspender looking things look like items used in India for the festival of Thaipusam. Found similar items on a report on CNN, so they look to be spiritual items, great fusion of culture into fashion!
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/02/07/malaysia.hindu.festival/index.html
As this image prints out to tuck into my stylish little handbag, I'm packing my suitcase and heading to Barcelona!
How do you say, "Have you seen the guy with bungee cord suspenders around here recently?" in Spanish?
Love your blog...but *this shot* finally motivated me to say hello.
wow!
what is there not to love about his wardrobe! I'm hooked;)
his style is part of him. it is effortless and not put on in any way. it is considered yet not fussy.
that is sexy.
and inhabiting ones own self?
that is true style.
Very stylish fella -- and what struck me, actually, is that he reminds me so much of Cat Stevens!!
Here in American nobody would go out with the bungee cords around their neck... it would be unheard of! I think people in Europe live more freely and in the moment in general. It's nice to catch glimpses.
it is love
I know this guy since he lived in Buenos Aires (he's Argie). He is a musician and studied Fine Arts (he paints really well too). He really doesn't take great pains to put his outfits together, but loves ethnic-like accessories such as that scarf and the handmade little belt (he does those for his friends and him).
Quite funny to find his pic here knowing him since he was a kid...
I said that he was Argentinean!! I have the scarf!!! It is from Abrapampa, at etnic clothing store. I believe the store is close now.
