Love the lime green & lilac combination, although I'm not sure that the accessories are from the same story as the coat… But I'm pretty sure it's the first time I see fur and silk together. Anyway, very interesting shot, like always :-)
A bit too crazy for my taste, but the colors are certainly an interesting combination. I admire her for wearing exactly what she wants, and you for taking her photo!
Great photograph. The contrasting textures are fantatsic – esp. the granite building exterior, the window grate and the stenciled lettering in the window as a backdrop to the bright colors.
I'm sure the posters here will rave about her bag, and I'll defer to the swarm on that. I do like what she's trying to do here – give us a bolt of color on a dreary London day. While her kimono is lovely, I give this look a thumbs down outside of the boudoir. And I have no idea what that chartreuse thing is, but it looks a little weather-worn.
This is such a great picture– I love the somewhat serious glance over her shoulder juxtaposed with the whimsicality of her outfit. Also fun and unusual: a pop of neon with saturated pastel colors.
The pop of color here is awakening to the eye, especially set against the dreary background. Pastel pink and purple mixed was popular in the 80's and I like it mixed up with the fluoro green dipped fur – a nice take on the hair trend since she has short hair (or for someone who doesn't want to color their long hair). The kimono reminds me of something either to be worn only in the confines of one's home or Mrs. Roper's tacky mu'umu'us from the American television comedy Three's Company. The bag is fantastic and I want to steal it, although trying to see the straps… A great photograph, not my style, but I can appreciate her expression as wonderful nonetheless.
Oh my God!! that is a Paul Poiret’s Révérend Coat which was worn by Jeanne Boivin-Poiret, 1905, in silk damask with silk floss embroidery. There is one, very much similar exposed at the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris. She is brave wearing it.A fashion statement in itself!
I agree with the Poiret inspired comment although I think that, perhaps, she feels a little uncomfortable wearing this. She looks fantastic – except for maybe the bag.
The piece itself is pretty but not with the green collar… well, maybe I am Asia, this is just awkward seeing on the street currently…she could be a princess from Mongolian traveling by time machine. ^^
That coat is something else! Love her expression, too. Looks like she's thinking that if one more person is snarky about her chartreuse boa she's going to stuff it up his/her nose.
What a gorgeous,gorgeous girl, I actually saw her walking down the street in this outfit and she looked amazing !!! BTW. she had on denim jeans and leopard skin vintage YSL,S
I'm SO not a fan of this look. But what I do like are her red nails peeking out and her red bag. What's happening with the rolled up pants? It feels like way too much navy. Is that possible?
Each piece individually is amazing, especially the jacket but all together. Wow, it's on a whole new level. I bet she is an artist, at the very least she has an amazing sense of style and color matching. I love that she is not wearing a lot of make-up, she has such beautiful skin and the lipstick does the trick.
