OLIVER IN NEWTOWN

Oliver (27) was spotted in Newtown waiting outside the Dendy theatre after a dress rehearsal. He described his personal style as rocky/street but at the time was dressed in character, which was a bit more corporate.

I love the idea of playing dress-up in real life…playing to whatever mood you’re in when you wake up in the morning. I mean why not? Is there a rule against it? Apparently there is. I say screw them!

LEO IN NEWTOWN

Leo (18) was spotted shopping in the streets of Newtown. Being obviously younger, he noted that he didn’t have a particular style but was still playing around with his look. Although, I felt he pulled off the hipster/chic look quite well, channelling his inner Boy George.

DOMINGO IN ERSKINEVILLE

Domingo (29) was spotted in Erskineville while travelling from Melbourne. The editor of Inside Magazine, originally from San Francisco, described his style as modern/classic.

MICHAEL IN POTTS POINT

I spotted Michael (52) in Potts Point near Sydney’s famous Kings Cross. There wasn’t anything typically stylish about Michael when I first saw him but what did catch my eye was his flat cap. Flat caps were traditionally worn by working class men and became fashionable by younger men in the 1920’s. I guess I appreciated the throwback and how authentic the hat looked on him. And the fact that he took pride in his appearance and that he depended on it…

REBLOG ME TO NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Tumblr will be sending more than 20 of its bloggers to New York Fashion Week to tumble nine days of fashion heaven. I would love the opportunity to be apart of it and bring Men In This Town to New York City for a week and shoot some of New York’s finest (for instance Bobby in Brooklyn). 

So to try and get noticed by the big guys at Tumblr, I want to get as many reblogs as possible on this post…so if you would like to help out, please reblog and encourage others to do the same. Or if you just like the picture of Bobby above, reblog the picture! ;)

SAMUEL IN NEWTOWN

Samuel (28) was spotted in Newtown on his way home from work on a warm summer evening. The film festival coordinator described his style as unprepared prep and named the Carlisle Castle Hotel as one of his favourite spots in Newtown for its laid back vibe and gnocchi.

DOMINIC IN REDFERN

Dominic (26) was spotted grabbing some lunch in Redfern on a warm Sydney afternoon. The architect described his style as pretty cas, with a basic polo and jeans. I’ve always wanted to be a ’t-shirt & jeans’ kind of guy but I just can’t seem to pull it off like he can.
