So I’ve been perusing the photos from Milan fashion week and Style.com has a nice spread of street photos taken by Tommy Ton. Yeah, I know, everyone wants to be just like The Sartorialist but I gotta say…quietly…I might like this guy better. The Sartorialist is beholden to his models and his old, rich, european fellows and this new guy, Tommy Ton, can just take shots of everyone! It seems he goes for the more voyeuristic angles and it also seems as though he might also have a foot fetish. Here are my favorites:
Ok, first, you know me, I love pictures of hair. And this one is so lovely with all the movement. (click on the picture to see a larger version) They look like the Black Bag Brigade. Second, not sure what is going on with the feather thing but I can totally get on board with that. I especially love the girl in the background getting caught red handed eating her invitation. She’s so hungry! Lastly, I don’t care much for these shoes but its the gold nail polish that they’re wearing. I must have it!

Yes, I just discovered Tommy Ton today, too! I was reading Garance D’or, and saw that she was sitting in the front row at D&G with two bloggers I did not recognize. I like his most recent post that he likes fan mail with illustrations…perhaps some self-promoting fan mail is in order! One thing The Sartorialist does better is the whimsical titles…I get the feeling that he loves each and every picture he posts, whereas the the Jak & Jil blog is a little more just snap the shot and throw it out there. On the other hand, I appreciate the lack of any ads, specifically those annoying American Apparel ones, on Jak & Jil.
Oh man, do I love feathers and gold nail polish. at the same time even.

An update on the gold toenails: there are a number of brands that do a gold-ish polish, but to get that smooth chrome, I think you have to use these: Minx nails.
