When Style Met Art: Close Up and Private

If you're not already privy to Sergei Sviatchenko's photoblog/lookbook, Close Up and Private, you've been missing out on some ridiculous inspiration.  His images have been all over the menswear blogs for quite some time and I've never seen such an amazing amalgamation of styles.  Spilling over with details and unique looks, Sergei has the "eye" for sure.  For a great interview with the man himself and some insight into the project, head over to Components of Enthusiasm or skip ahead straight to the source.  I can't think of a better browse for a lazy Sunday...
