Hi Sartorialist, I’m sorry to tell you that but I think you are a true idiot. I always doubted it, but now I’m completely convinced. Look at this guys hands please. Look how dirty they are. Look at the repaired handle of his bag. Now guess how much money he may spare to fashion. Ask yourself how many jackets or pants he may have in total. And now ask yourself again if this outfit is a coincidence or his style preference, or if he would keep or cut the sleeves WHEN HE’S LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SOMETHING TO WEAR.

Oh Tuğçe
so the poor can’t have an artist heart? you have no facts about this man and you just want to paint him as a hopeless poor soul. Maybe I see the light of hope in the people I saw in this market. In two hours I found three men with very interesting style that may or may not have been a coincidence. Once you’ve see all three images it will be hard to say theres not something special going on, something more than just surviving. These people were poor but not poverty stricken, no one was begging for money or trying to sell me somehting for my american dollars. These were nice people going about their everyday lives.
