I like this. It’s hard to wear a piece that involved without looking very trendy, but she paired it nicely…in some ways not as interesting as it could be, but she definitely knows how to flatter herself and play up that dress. I think it’s beautiful.
are those freckles?? i’m not particularly in love with what she is wearing, rather i like the way she is sitting and that hair…and if those are freckles…then i love them too!
wow, sexy and confident. Call me crazy, but when I initially glanced at the ‘Printed Dress, Sydney’ title, I saw the words Disney Princess….she does have a rather regal presence.
Each day I look forward to being inspired by the personalities which shine through the clothing of lucky subjects of the Sartorialist.
My Grandmother alway said to always wear pretty panties when you go out, just incase the wind picks up your skirt..but I will tell my children to always look fabulous just incase the wind brings the Sartorialist your way.
What a beautiful dress! Like she’s wearing a Hermes silk scarf… Her leather accessories and long hair give her a unique Mongolian/Native American look. If she’s not a model, she’s one pretty lay-person!
She is beautiful. I like the color of her skin, and hair, and the shape of her eyes. The whole appearance makes a French Polynesian impression on me. And of course her high heels are amazing.
Great dress, but gorgeous shoes! One of those things from which women can profit better than men. I really fancy the attitude. The Urban from Barcelona
I love this look. Everything everything about it. Perfection.
But I have to say I am confused about the “exotic” “modern Pocahontas” etc. statements. When will women of color simply be considered beautiful women and not objectified?
I can understand your point for the word “exotic,” but why would thinking that she looks like the Disney character Pocahontas be “objectifying” her?? She has the same skin tone and cheekbones as the cartoon depiction. Don’t be so angry, missy.
Gorgeous girl. The dress complements her looks. But the shoes? Oh yeah, they are Louboutins and cost a forture, but they are not flattering. The surprise effect of a dissonance in the outfit wears out quickly.
Straightened back, just a little less skirt on the left leg, nice long hair falling free from the shoulder, and the smile hidden between her lips, makes her, irresistible..
Forget the stereotypical blonde surfer, here is a true representation of an Australian. Unknown nationality (we’re all originally from somewhere else), fierce femininity, gorgeous taste, at peace with the land that surrounds us. I think your photographs are beautifully conveying Australia, for once, as the land full of surprises and sartorialist delights for which it is.
I love her tan! Shes a really beautiful woman. The shoes are incredible and the dress is what stands out to my eyes. Really nice design. http://thetrendydwarf.blogspot.com/
gauguin remains through the time…. I know is sidney, but when I see her I can not avoid the fact that she looks like a paul gaugin muse! impressive beauty! I LOVE HER!
She looks like an exotic animal ready to pounce. I love it. Borderline harsh but that’s the Sydney aesthetic: femininity derived from sexual presence/awareness more so than coquettish romanticism.
so i am going to rephrase what i said earlier in this commentary-
sites/photogs like Sart changed the way fashion works and also changed the way we think about ourselves (our outfits).
When it became conceivable that someone could photograph just-any-old-someone just for their outfit, the next obvious cultural phenomenon was not thousands of hipsters standing on the corner at Prince/Mercer waiting for him. We did what all 21st Century reality-show-as-lifers do: we started taking pictures of ourselves and posting them on the internet.
What's interesting to me is that despite the fact that I can and do look at hundreds of "personal style" sites a day, the work of Scott, Garance, Nast and a few others still exists in a category of its own, not because of the looks that are captured as much as the SPIRIT THAT IS CAPTURED. See: this photo.
This is what separates artists from the average documentarian, and why other sites will never make this one less relevant.
I would like to see what this looks like with her standing up… I like the dress, I like the shoes, I think I like the bag, she definitely has attitude and I like that, I'm just not sure about all of it (outfit-wise) together…
I’m pretty sure she’s the store owner of joystores, boutique in Brisbane. Correct me if i’m wrong. She has impeccable taste in style as it reflects the amazing Australian/International designer clothing she sells.
Whow!! My favourite in a long long time. She cannot be Australian! (Have to badger the Aussies). The clothes are sublime, but the best thing is that Vogue could not do a better job of this shot! Her screw you pose, her face. Amazing.
yea yea..”exotic” and “pocohontas” references galore! how ridiculous! love her outfit (on her), love her face structure. not a fan of the shoes actually ( can it be?!) i like natural looks, not high maintenance street walker. BUT she looks good..how does she come up with this???
So chic I love her shoes. She has beautiful skin and hair and looks so powerful yet her lips and eyes look so feminine. I’m glad those who think the Syd photos have nothing on Paris or Milan can see this!!
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments and thank you Scott for such a great photo!
PS. I don’t find being compared to Pocahontas offensive in any way… I love her!!
I am a Malaysian-born Chinese Australian and love that I have grown up in, and now represent, a truly multi-cultural country.
Visit my boutique Joy Hysteric next time you’re on the Gold Coast! We are shop 14 The Phoenician, 24-26 Queensland Avenue, Broadbeach QLD Australia 4218
A really cool look. The style looks really effortless even though the pieces that she is wearing are a choice for a brand conscience. That’s how I want to use designer clothes and accessories.
To PRGirlLondon: “we’re all originally from somewhere else” Be careful… We’re a nation of many origins, yes, but this is Aboriginal land. And in light of the horrendous divide we have in our country, we must never forget our indigenous people and their 40,000+ year prehistory with the continent we now know as Australia. I know your comment wasn’t malicious of course, but please keep it in mind. Peace.
Gorgeous gal. Next time you come to Sydney you should consider spending some more time in the Inner West — Newtown, etc. You've got so many fine shots of eastern-suburbs-type people like this beauty, but the Inner West is full of delightful flashes of stylistic brilliance (amidst the cliches, like anywhere).
Wow.Love the hippy-chic look.It's incredible how some people can look so gorgeous just by slipping on a dress and matching a pair of beautiful heels.A sexy squaw indeed!
Wooooahha! This outfit is incredible – what an effortless and at the same time powerful woman – Pure perfection. Maybe one of my top 5 since I read your Blog.
I covet everything she has on, plus the sunnies and handbag on the side. Who knew nude fringed ankle boots could go so well with a colourful maxi?! And who knew Sydneysiders (being one myself) could be so stylish?
I LOVE everything about this!! THe greenery in the back, the dash of orange around her neckline, the print, the dress, the pose!! Gotta love how the shoes blend in color with the ground yet the texture and detail make them truly stand out!!

yea yea..”exotic” and “pocohontas” references galore! how ridiculous! love her outfit (on her), love her face structure. not a fan of the shoes actually ( can it be?!) i like natural looks, not high maintenance street walker. BUT she looks good..how does she come up with this???

So chic I love her shoes. She has beautiful skin and hair and looks so powerful yet her lips and eyes look so feminine. I’m glad those who think the Syd photos have nothing on Paris or Milan can see this!!

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments and thank you Scott for such a great photo!
PS. I don’t find being compared to Pocahontas offensive in any way… I love her!!

I think the shoes are too much for the dress. I think she would look even better if she were in simpler shoes or even barefoot.

A really cool look. The style looks really effortless even though the pieces that she is wearing are a choice for a brand conscience. That’s how I want to use designer clothes and accessories.

To PRGirlLondon:
“we’re all originally from somewhere else”
Be careful… We’re a nation of many origins, yes, but this is Aboriginal land. And in light of the horrendous divide we have in our country, we must never forget our indigenous people and their 40,000+ year prehistory with the continent we now know as Australia. I know your comment wasn’t malicious of course, but please keep it in mind.
Peace.
And this girl all kinds of beautiful!

Gorgeous gal. Next time you come to Sydney you should consider spending some more time in the Inner West — Newtown, etc. You've got so many fine shots of eastern-suburbs-type people like this beauty, but the Inner West is full of delightful flashes of stylistic brilliance (amidst the cliches, like anywhere).

I covet everything she has on, plus the sunnies and handbag on the side. Who knew nude fringed ankle boots could go so well with a colourful maxi?! And who knew Sydneysiders (being one myself) could be so stylish?
