#373 Andrea Del Sere on Mott St, NoLiTa, New York.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Tue, 21 May 2013 04:05:00 +0000

Walking slowly like enjoying street, people and atmosphere of New York.

He said he is from Italy and designing his own clothes.
Needless to say, I immediately got being interested in his label since I can tell that would be really cool for sure!

ゆっくりと、NYの街並や空気を感じるように一歩一歩ゆっくりあるいていた紳士。

「イタリアで自分の服をデザインしてる」って。
俄然その服に興味を持つ。
この紳士が作る服、かっこいいに違いないから。

#372 Julian Haider on Mercer St, SoHo, New York.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Fri, 17 May 2013 07:39:00 +0000

The guy wearing the jacket inside out.

I didn't ask about it, but I guess he thought the color turns beautiful more than outside, maybe?
I like this freedom idea to have his own style!

よく見たら、ジャケットを裏返しで着てる彼。
間違えて着たのか、そうやって着てるのかは聞かなかったけれど、多分、いや絶対に、彼はこの裏の色の出方なんかが好きでこうやって着てるんだろうと思う。

縛られずに着ることのかっこよさ。

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Sun, 12 May 2013 02:35:00 +0000

Cool suit setup!

He said "this setup is for fall and winter, but I like this fabric".
Simply wearing what he likes, this is everything!

セットアップを着た人。
秋冬のセットアップだけど、素材が好きで今日も着てる。って。

いやしかしまー、このセットアップとストリート感のミックス具合、最高にかっこいいでしょう。

#370 Brie Welch on Mercer St, Soho, New York.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Mon, 06 May 2013 06:19:00 +0000

This style looks very comfy like just picking the clothes for walking around in neighborhood(I meant this is 100% good meaning!).

Not too "being fashionable", but having cool style.
I really like and respect that people who can wear/be cool naturally, like her.

近所にちょっと買い物に。って言うような感じのカジュアルさ、力の抜け具合い。
その抜け感、気張ってない感がいい雰囲気。

#369 Peter Pham on Lafayette St, Nolita, New York.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:01:00 +0000

Another gentleman here with bike!

Once he passed me, and I could not catch him at the moment.
However he came back later, and I stopped him asked to shoot!

It is nice season to bike ;)

最初に見かけたとき、気づいた時には目の前を通り過ぎていってしまって。
声をかけられずに残念がっていたらしばらくして同じところに戻ってきた。
そんなチャンスは逃がせまい！とばかりに声をかける。

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 08:40:00 +0000

The gentle man walking and standing really postural straightly was very standing out in the town.

I felt he may live an honest life, and his lifestyle makes his style as a fashion too.

街中をすごく真っ直ぐな姿勢で歩いていたジェントルマン。
その真っ直ぐさにはかっこよさがあって、横断歩道の向こう側から渡ってきたこのジェントルマンに釘付けになる。

My friend Rui with spring of NY!

Sometimes cherry blossoms' petals fell like a snowflake by wind, and the moments made me feeling so spring!

#364 Mike Dumlao on Perry St.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 02:47:00 +0000

It has been getting warm in day time here in NY, but still cold around morning and evening time.

I guess it is nice idea to put a coat on shoulders and wear light clothes inside like him during this season.

Anyway, spring has been coming day by day gradually!

朝や夕方はまだまだ寒いながらも、日中は少しずつ春を感じる陽気になってきたNY。
コートを着るには暖かいけど、ないと寒い時などには彼の様に肩でコートを着る(羽織る)ことも街では定番化してきてる様子。(以前はファッションウィーク中以外はなかなか見かけなかったような。)

暖かい春が待ち遠しい！

I really appreciated every encounters on the street since I started blogging and feel so happy that I can keep good friendship with him as one of all!

Looking forward to seeing you next time!

台湾人の友人であるZhaoを。
初めての彼と出会いは、ブログを始めてすぐ(2010年12月)の原宿で声をかけた時。

前回の彼の写真はこちら。 → #134 Ling, Fan, Zhao and Jen on 57th St.

ブログを撮り始めてから、たくさんの人と出会って撮らせてもらうことで彼の様にすごく仲の良い友達になることもあったりして。
そんな友人達と会う度に、出会えて良かったと心から思う。

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:44:00 +0000

Meeting NY friends in different place is fun for me!
They traveled to SF from NY during my staying and we met.

It was nice to meet you in SF and see you soon in NY!

いつもNYで会う友人と違う場所で会うというのが好きだ。
何度も会っているのに街が違うといつもと雰囲気も違って見えたりする。
お互いの旅の出来事なんかを話したり、いつも通りの他愛の無い話しをしたり。

偶然に同じ時に同じ場所に来た記念。

#361 Nick Chiodo on Sutter St. San Francisco California.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:37:00 +0000

Came to SF and got shots in town!
The weather of SF is totally different to NY.

It is hot with strong sunshine in noon and cold in morning and night.
I saw many people wear T shirts and coat or leather jacket with sunglasses casually.
I felt his style is so SF!

サンフランシスコに来たのでここでもスナップを。

サンフランシスコは１年を通して昼間はTシャツ、朝晩はコートやレザージャケットが必要な気候。
それに加えて日中の日差しが強くてサングラスをかけてる人もたくさん。

彼はそんな街によく似合う、かっこいい男性！

黒レザーがかっこいい。

Can you notice something through these photos and their name??

Their last names are same, and they were taking same posing naturally!
Yes! They are sisters, twins!
How cool the twins are both into fashion!

この写真と彼女達の名前から何か気がつくでしょうか？？
同じポージングに同じ名字。
彼女達は双子の姉妹！
二人揃ってファッションが好きだなんて何だか楽しそう！

#356 Jeremy Kirkland on Crosby St.

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:36:00 +0000

The voluminous hooded coat x tight bottoms x voluminous shoes..

I like that he is not only wearing black stuffs but also brown glasses and beige shoes.
Maybe these makes his style looks more advanced.

ボリュームのあるコートに細身のボトムス、そしてボリュームのあるシューズ。
こういうトップスにはこういうバランスが今じゃ結構定番化してるけど、彼のスタイルは何だかすごく洗練されてて。
きっとそれは黒だけじゃなくて、うまく茶色の眼鏡やベージュのスニーカーの色が作用してる。
黒を着るにもこのくらいの感じの小洒落た感というか抜け感がいい雰囲気。

noreply@blogger.com (Wataru Bob Shimosato) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:38:00 +0000

Gray layering style.

I often see all black and white, but never seen all gray.
I think The united colors of style like this is cool way to wear.

グレーで統一されたスタイル。
オールブラックやオールホワイトはたまに見るけど、オールグレーのスタイルは珍しい。
全身同色系のスタイルはやっぱりすごくまとまりがあってかっこいいと、そういうスタイルを見る度に思う。
