She's got a bit of a Chloe Sevigny vibe.

I think that he has simply unbuttoned his cuff buttons on the jacket, then turned the sleeves back. You can see two buttons on the right side of the pic.

I think his name is David Chu. He posts over on the Fedora Lounge.

They aren't quite these, but they're close.

Yeah I noticed that. It was the fact that they are metal that made it look interesting.

Thanks for the link. I'm tempted, but I think I'd rather pay extra for those in the pic. If it weren't a wingtip and the canvas wasn't so natural-colored, I'd be all over them. Also a quick question (I'm a shoe n00b)- is cordovan leather ever used for spectators or is it used for the entire shoe only?

This one is a fashion disaster...
There is a revival in England of the long hair era...Funny to see public school boys shopping with their posh mums with 1970's haircuts...

Jimi was the best ...
One of the actual indie band is having jackets made by Norton (the Kooks?)...I was not expected that...
Patrick Grant also told me that Kanye West is coming sometimes on the row...

Agreed. I was actually thinking of starting a Jimi's looks thread but I thought I might get shredded for it.

From his 'off-runway' set on men.style:

' "This guy is, like, Prince Something or King Something of Somewhere. He always looks very royalty. I've shot him several times, but this is the first time I've seen him flashing so much bling." '

They're older Polo RL shoes. I picked up a pair on eBay a while back for about $100.
Looking at the nail pattern in the heel, I assume that they're by Alfred Sargent for Polo.
For a pair of double monks, they're very comfortable.

The big difference between the pair in the Sartorialist picture (and in my wardrobe) and the Peal&Co ones is the fact that the Peal & Co ones are a wingtip, with broguing, whereas the Polo ones are plain captoes. I prefer the simplicity of the Polo version.
