for sure, Emanuelle Alt looks great on it but, if it wasn t for her, would there be so many ‘bravos’ in the comments? I like the anonymous person saying ‘ i don t know who she is and i find her dressed ordinarily’… honestly, I m not sure that i would turn my head back if I see someone I dont know dresses like that in the street… I personally think what makes her look so great is 90% her ‘so cool’ attitude & the way the picture is taken and only 10% the clothes…
She is one of my two favorites, among your subjects. She has “perfect pitch,” so to speak. But that is such a great picture! The sleek pavement, control of the depth of field, composition–Wow!!
i imagine this is what the ramones clothes looked when they were new, bfore 20 people had worn them, bfore they wound up with the ramones. it’s fantastic! rock n’ roll can be elegant after all!
Just a comment – one of the wonderful aspects of this blog is the variation in reactions to different looks. I love, love, love Ms. Alt’s look, it is so not-trying-too-hard yet cool. On the other hand, the previous photo of the woman in red actually made me feel ill.
…and not a “milanian” or Milanese look at all. Really more of a Paris-New York or French/American look. Perfectly cool, understated, everything fitting perfectly. You notice her, not her clothes.
At Versace, which was last night, I saw Emmanuel Alt from Paris Vogue. It was our first chance to speak all week. I told her Scott Schuman had done a nice picture of her on his blog The Sartorialist, and that he had called her “the impossible Emmanuel Alt.”

Classic. This look may enjoy little variations here and there over the years but it never goes out of style.
The perfect rainy day gear.
That is, if someone hasn’t set up a rubber boots concession ’round the corner.

this feels very done, over. hasn’t ashlee simpson been dressing like this for at least a year now? Alt may be the original, but the look is stale.

At Versace, which was last night, I saw Emmanuel Alt from Paris Vogue. It was our first chance to speak all week. I told her Scott Schuman had done a nice picture of her on his blog The Sartorialist, and that he had called her “the impossible Emmanuel Alt.”
“What does ‘impossible’ mean?” she asked.
“It means hard to beat,” I said.
