Homeless Man Is China’s New IT Boy

The Chinese have started calling him the “Beggar Prince,” and “Brother Sharp.” In fact, he is rapidly becoming the internet’s newest fashion icon, and to be honest, it was only a matter of time before a real homeless person started setting the trends. We tolerated the heroine chic of the ’90s, and laughed it off when everyone started paying big bucks to look like they hadn’t showered in a week, but looking to a homeless person for fashion advice? Bloggers have tried to speak with him, but it seems the would-be fashionisto may be mentally disturbed, and “cries out” when approached. We think the only mentally disturbed people are the ones bombarding a homeless man and copying his swag. Seriously? [The Cut]
