I must confess I haven’t frequented this blog as much as I would like. I found it, some months ago, through much clicking of links and quite stupidly forgot to bookmark, you know how it is. But when I eventually, and quite literally, stumbled upon this treasure-trove of individualism and creative styling once again, I made sure not to make the same mistake twice.
Based in Seoul 24 year old Hong Sukwoo, other wise known as Your Boyhood-who, incidentally also contributes to Hint Mag as far as I can gather-roams the eclectic streets of the city and its surroundings snapping all the exuberant sartorial feats of the young, old and everyone in between. Photographs of traditionally-attired ‘grandfathers’ in suits and smoky grey trilbies are found next to those of Seoul’s hottest new design talents, many of whom are male.
Not only does this blogger capture Carri Mundane[of Cassette Playa fame] and Korea’s burgeoning dancers clad in illustrious Dior Homme but also the essence of the physical places he visits. Shots of Paris walls embellished with crimson graffiti, the unorthodox industrial beauty of Seoul construction sites and neon Tokyo subway stations enhance the visual feast immensely.
Truly beautiful pictures, check this guy out.

DCB, this is way cool. Thanks for posting. Love this type of blog.
Thanks for this. I am always looking for ways to procrastinate from work and althouh I take much enjoyment from viewing the latest images on the sartorialist and facehunter some variation is always good!
You’re both v.welcome, just sharing the street-style joy.DCB.

Isn’t that just the thing with the internet – I also found this several months ago and then completely forgot about it. Of course from time to time I would think, now where did I see that picture again…? Now I know. Thanks for the reminder.
Carrie Mundane is a peculiar dresser – not good or bad, just peculiar. love this guy’s hair…
