The Sartorialist

Wow Sart, you have truly outdone yourself. Who is that girl in the second pic, you have taken her pic before, non?

I love the 4th pic down. Very Mod

The pale blue jacket and the high water pants with men´s hat – I got so homesick for Paris it hurts! The rainy asphalt and all those smiles on skinny legs. I´ll be there again one day too! Thanks for widening the focus of fashion to include life and real people.

My, What long Legs Alt has. Of the thre her look is what I wish I could wear.

Love the second and third looks – the insouciance of all that creamy white and sneakers in particular.

She has legs for days!

Perfect. Every shot is spot on, just as Paris should be.

do we know Alt’s heritage? I find the shemagh (palestinian scarf) a fascinating choice – and wonder if it is harkening to her heritage, to Balenciaga F 07, or to just her unrivaled choice for the day? it’s been a hot topic of discussion amongst us in the office – inquiring minds want to know….

I love the green velvet dress, as I have always had a weakness for rich, textured fabrics, but the simplicity of the girl in the 4th pic is very appealing. Glad she wore a small bag, too.

I love the dirty skirt on our favorite gamine! I bet she’s tons of fun to hang out with.

Though that last outfit is fabulous, designer logos always read “fashion victim” to me.

love, love the green dress. also loving bracelets in the fourth photo, and the attitude in last photo is great.

1. The epitome of Cool.
4. Dig the guy. Covet his belt. Interesting little detail on his pockets.

Amazing! My favourites are the first and the last looks!

I love the clean-cut quirkiness of the lady in the last photo!

Alt’s look is nice, but it’s all over the streets in London and now it’s starting to come to L.A. Sadly by now it’s beginning to feel a bit worn out.

Who is that fellow off to the side all in black and blue? He looks delicious.

haha, the second girl down has that typical Asian ability to look 15 and 40 years old at the same time.

who *is* that man next to the chanel cuff girl?? he is the dreamiest dreamboat ever.

Hee, Hee. I entered the comments on this set of pics to see if anyone would mention the keffiyah. It’s interesting that this has become a fashion statement. I wear one around because I like the look but also because I am a human rights activist, thus the plight of Palestinians is a concern of my work. :) It is interesting to note the reactions I get. On the train, sometimes I will register someone glaring at me…..other times I will notice someone smiling warmly at me. Either way, the keffiyah never fails to get a reaction.

To Anonymous 12:02PM, I think you’re reading too much into Alt’s choice of scarf. In Europe – UK especially – try-hard/genuine indie kids have been wearing them for at least a year solid; 99% of the time with leather jackets. They’re everywhere, it’s quite irritating. I’m surprised someone as trendless as Alt (who is so amazing usually) would pick up something so generic.

Great collection of shots!

But I find it disturbing when pretty skirts, or dresses or really long coats get dragged through puddles or mud.

That last pic is just awesome from the waistcoat to the knowing smile! I love it and wish I could recreate it without spending…. money…

The second to last picture is what caught my eye and made me stop. The two look quite mod, and I love it.

The fourth lady was in the New York Times Style section- next to that same guy in front of the same car in that same outfit.

RE: Broken Ankle
–Are you kidding? What a lame comment.

that photographer is truly fabulous! same with the christopher kane dress. he’s such a good designer.

who makes alt’s jacket? i swear, it was love at frst sight…in the last picture of her circa september. who’d a thunk it would be so difficult to find the perfect leather jacket.

I loved your last photo of Mme Alt, but in this her pants look a little too tight and ill-fitting.

That green dress is so lovely. Love the boots on that girl, too.

now see, I was at chanel in a gown and feather coat, and no one took MY picture.

rude.

Green velvet dress = Christopher Kane?

First comment: hippiedippydom, haha!

This set is fueled with young edgy attitude. Each individual here is etremely bold and adventurous in their elegant choices, many elements that hold them as fashion misfits meaning they’re surely trend setters.

Amazing stuff from Chanel.

The young Coco with the red Dutch Boy haircut and the Gaoucho with the metallic bag are great.

female johnny depp female johnny depp!!
yeah what a great outfit i especially like those pants!
wooow

That first girl is wearing pretty much the same style I rock daily- however, I sure don’t have legs like those!

I love the gamine girl with the sweater dress, but put the shemagh away, please, lady in the first photograph! (I remember them from the first time round, and didn’t think it was a good look even then!)

Sart, Will you ever reveal who she is??? We know she is a photographer and everytime you snap her, she draws a great deal of response…have a reveal!!!
I am thrilled to see her in her Converse again….She is a doll!!!
Enjoy China…if you run into my buddy Josh also in the same area as you, have him buy you a drink on me, You deserve it!!!
Cheers

you go Tracy…she’s a really cool and down to earth person with amazing individual style. love the shrunken jacket and the Zoave pleated pants. not for everybody but she definitely gets away with it.

The girl in beige is lovely, and I love those platforms.

Edie Sedgwick modernized, very nicely done.

I was baffled by the sweater dress one, they pulled off the androgynous look so well! The first picture looks so rocker chic and the shemagh scarf finishes teh look off perfectly.

The photographer is soo cute, like a little puppy dog asking to take your picture after you’ve been denied entrace to rue du mail.

oh wow i love this so much all of it
i would love to be able to dress like they do

that top pic is great. almost like an optical illusion to make her legs look exaggeratedly elongated
