Yu Masui. no.012, London

Only Japanese men can consistently pull off these kind of hair knots. When roaming the east end in London you will see plenty of them. Sometimes I wish I could do something fun like that with my hair, but reality is that I cannot. [Edit: Gon hit the nail on its head; it's Yu Masui.]
I am planning some city-trips across Europe, but I need your help. What city do you think should I visit and why? Two important requirements: it needs to have some sort of cafe culture and well dressed people.

  2. The japanese have the ability to pull anything off - they are super human!! I am off to Berlin -I hear that Latvia / slovenia and Croatia are teh up and coming european states in terms of fashion art architecture! If all else fails head down to Denmark!

  6. Well, you shoul definetely visit Lisbon, it has tons and tons of coffe culture and plus you have the yellow electrics the beautifull downtown with lots of creative people and also it's more or less warm :) and plus you have excellent "Fado" houses - Fado is a very cool very beautifull and traditional portuguese type of song. You're Welcome!

  14. A café culture and well-dressed people? The obvious places are Rome & Paris (throw in smaller Italian towns in the mix, like perhaps Bergamo? it's next to Milan.). Avoid England at all costs ! Crap cafés, quirky sense of dress. Great cafés also abound in Vienna or Prague - the dress sense may leave a lot to desire, though! Let us know where you end up going.

  27. I dunno, but I think Portsmouth people have style, especially the crazy ass rich Chinese there.
    ReplyDelete
  28. Great style...but I'm loving the background more. That kind of galactic speckling - did you add it in after, or is it natural?

  42. I would definetely recomend Madrid...culturally it´s a great city and about it´s fashion ...well...in my opinion we are improving quite a lot...it might not be the most fashionable city in Europe...but I´m sure you will find quite a few examples of well dressed people...

  44. Shame on you for posting a man that wears better jewels than I do. You will not be forgiven!
    It's so weird, I was just thinking about the blog I used to read with the amazing photography-shame on me for not following you! I am now, but just so you know, I'll be pulling you up on any more posts about men that look better than me.

  48. You know that I'm going to tell you.... BARCELONA! You'll have two lovely guides here with you; Laia and me... there are lovely cafes here... and well dressed people... so... ;)

    (By the way, I'm working in the questions for your interview, I didn't forgot it! I'm sending you this weekend!!)

  49. Dennis, this picture is magical!!! Wow!!! You know it's one of the most amazing photographs you have taken, right? I'm sure you do. By the way, not only is this fabulous man rocking that top knot, but also look at all his jewelry! Wearing it like it's nothing and looking flawless.

    But going back to the subject of hair, while I agree that Japanese guys and East Asian guys in general can pull off very nifty hairdos, I think European guys can make that messy, masculine bun work like no one else. I wish I could illustrate what I'm referring to, you know, the wavy hair tied up high at the back of the head, with some loose strands here and there. Whenever I see guys with hair like that, I just stare... and stare... and stare hahaha.

  53. What a fun style!lol..I would recommend you Prague, because it has beautiful architecture and culture, there is really a lot to be inspired about there. You could also go to Vienna if you want this café culture, its such a beautiful city.

  67. This could be the best portrait picture of The Man...
    And it's also because of the background: all these snowflakes give the whole image a dreamy atmosphere.
