Photo is blurry/grainy. I see nothing about this photo that shows fashion.

Cute title. For me it aids your image. Although I think the man in the front is your focal point, it's the mane in the dark jacket and shades that my eyes keep getting drawn to.

too confusing, focus is not right, and I see no fashion connection.

Heh! I like it. Particularly the guy down the street in the dark glasses - equally suspicious.

Interesting image. The guy in the background (white shirt and dark jacket with sunglasses) looking at the camera makes me wonder about the setup. Is the primary subject (brown jacket, hat, and glasses) the photographer? Is there a tripod setup on the sidewalk? Maybe the subject is a stranger? So many questions! That's a good thing in a way...makes people think.

Technically the image is "OK". Primary subject doesn't appear as sharp/focused as I would like to see. I wonder about the ISO also as there seems to be some noise.

Interesting approach to the challenge. 6 from me. Good luck in the challenge.

his clothes/hat are quite nice.. and he has a good face.. more focus on him and maybe less people in it would have improved this shot a lot

OK. It's a street shot. The fellow on the right is closest, so it seems as though he should be the subject, but he is out of focus (as is the rest of the photo). Two other points: I don't get the connection between 'dressed for the cold' and 'suspicious', and the lighting certainly does nothing to indicate that anyone in the photo is, or should be, suspicious of anything. Sorry, but I just don't see the connection between the title and the photo, or the photo and the challenge.

Too much going on so it is hard to focus - look at the man looking directly at the lens instead of Mr. Suspicious. If you have distinct activity ensure it relates to the image you are going for. Without some caption why would I know this was "Fashion?"

The Men In Black refugee tailing him makes this photo work.

Thanks to everyone who commented...this is only my third submission and I'm very flattered.
Pretty much straight out of camera, just boosted contrast.
