While our initial unveiling of street style's most mysterious men was informative and revolutionary (if we do say so ourselves), we simply felt the job wasn't complete. And that's why we're bringing you part two. Yes, we know, how benevolent of us. That's right—24 new names and job titles you can now attach to their respective faces and dope outfits. Enjoy.

2. robrobensteiner
Who he is: Robert Rabensteiner
Why he's there: Scooping out new brands to feature as the Fashion Editor for L’Uomo Vogue, performing general street style wizardry.
What he wears: Like a mother day Agnelli, Rabensteiner is the source of many a current #menswear trend from capes, to floppy hats, to T-shirts with unstructured jackets. But most of the time he’s wearing some entirely unlined jacket (be it a DB, a Casentino overcoat, or an M-65), some crazy washed out trousers and a pair of slip-on shoes.

8. umit
Who he is: Umit Benan
Why he's there: Like the one punk band that gets a perfect 10 from Pitchfork, Umit is the anointed avant garde icon of the #menswear generation. He probably just showed off another collection for Tim Blanks to gush about. Oh and he’s joined by his girlfriend Ece Sükan, a fellow Turk and former editor at large of Vogue Turkey.
What he wears: No shoes.

15. luigi
Who he is: Luigi Tadini
Why he's there: As Market Director for Paper, Tadini is there to attend shows and figure out what’s going to make to be featured pages in a few months.
What he wears: Sneakers with sportcoats, blue shirts of all shades, with the sort of flashy add-ons you’d expect from a Paper employee.

18. Milan
Who he is: Milan Vukmirovic
Why he's there: The only thing longer than Vukmirovic’s resume is probably his collection of Denim & Supply shirts (I mean, seriously, this guy must single handedly keep them afloat), having been a co-founder of Colette and The Webster, Design Director at Gucci, Trussardi’s Creative Director, and the Editor-in-Chief of L'Officiel Hommes .
What he wears: Whatever shows off the amount of Rick Owens-esque time he spends in the gym.
19. Simone
Who he is: Simone Marchetti
Why he's there: You might not recognize his name, but Marchetti is a fashion journalist for Repubblica.it and La Repubblica, which happens to be Italy’s largest newspaper.
What he wears: Loud prints, pops of color, leather pants—honestly, any “trend” you’d read about in the fashion section of an Italian newspaper.
20. zahm
Who he is: Olivier Zahm
Why he's there: As the creator of “cool guy” bible Purple Magazine, Zahm is probably busy being the coolest guy in a room full of cool guys.
What he wears: Leather jackets, an unwashed mop top, porno shades—typical cool guy shit.
