Like her shoes, nicely worn in. I always imagine people in eternal pain wearing shoes that are too new. Great ensemble that doesnt have to cost a lot of money! Jorge from W Palm Beach
Her hair is what really makes this look work. Even though the jacket is pretty unstructed, it would look weird with boring pin straight hair. She really carries herself so well, and it does not appear at all that she is putting on a show or posing like some others. She seems so naturally graceful. Wonderful lady!
I would love to see a photo blog that’s full of fashion photographers taking photos of each other. No joke. More often than not, I find the photographers much more interesting than their subjects.
As lovely as her pictures. What I love the most about her is that she takes pictures of subjects that have a similar appeal to her. She usually avoids the over-processed, too done up look.

Sigh. I do wish Garance would adopt me. Maybe some of her effortless elegance would rub off on me in time. A girl can dream, can’t she?

Garance Dore! Some people might think this is boring, but I don’t think they get it. She looks extremely gracefully. I adore her and her blog.

I can’t stop looking at those shoes. The shape of the toe, the heel –perfect walking-around shoes.
And the lady is a natural beauty.

Her blog is great. I’m so glad it’s also in English now.
As for what she’s wearing It’s very elegant and easy and utilitarian. I particularly love the boy shoes and that coat.
She’s really lovely and comes across in her blog as equally lovely on the inside.

Merci pour ces aperçus de Garance, Mr Sartorialist.
Despite the fact she talks a lot about style, and sometimes of hers, she never shows it on her own blog, certainly for ‘shyness’ (maybe I would rather use the word ‘pudeur’ in french).
We readers must be all glad to see that she is as stylish as her photos, texts and drawings.
(I have absolutely no clue how she manages to get this sweet ‘halo’ of light crowning the head of her models, but she seems to carry it on her head…)
Apologies if my English appears to be dysfunctional!

my boyfriend looked over my shoulder while I was looking at this photo and said, “Who is she? She looks French…”
I looked at him amazed.
A style so beautiful and defined that someone who has not much idea about it can look at a photo and see it. Gorgeous.

You’re very romantic when your hair is down. You should do it more often, practical or not.
