It looks like the conventional fashion icon types have been abandoned. People have made a fashion icon out of a homeless man in China, whose looks have caught the fancy of netizens, who seem to be raving about him. The man is a resident of Ningbo and his picture posted on the internet has won him a lot of admirers. Some say he looks like a ‘Beggar Prince’ while others call him ‘Handsome Vagabond’. There are some who go so far as to compare his looks to that of a model in the D&G show.

This man is said to be clearly mentally disturbed. And to make a fashion icon out of such a man seems to be not in the best of taste. But you really can’t blame internet uses, can you? On the internet, just about anything can become a fashion icon. Even a poor, homeless beggar, who probably has never even heard of the internet, much less knowing what being a fashion icon means. If he had, he might have perhaps never had the level of rawness needed to be a fashion icon on the internet, these days.
