The Sartorialist

The dress is a perfect complement to her skin color. I notice in the Harlem shots all of the dark splotches of dried gum on the sidewalk–as a former resident, this little detail really brings me back. Thanks.

Wowser. The dress and sandles, the arms and legs, the smile–there is no stopping this combination.

I love her dress, she looks smart and beautiful

That’s a series of car accidents waiting to happen!

Yellow can be so nice on our skin but we often take it to the extreme. This young lady has found such a great balance.

mltt

Wow! Beautiful is right! Amazing colour, amazing girl. This is a great photo, Sart.

gI love the hemline of this dress. It matches the waves in her hair. A gorgeous summer look.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! This whole shot just makes me happy. I love yellow, and smiling people.

less is more! looks great!

I can’t comment on the dress because I have no idea what its hemline and shape are meant to be like. It’s just acting as a beacon of colour drawing attention to this extraordinary young lady.

Her imposing stature, defined muscularity and perfect mahogany skin look like the creation of an heroic idealist sculptor. Her powerful build brings to mind the athleticism and contained energy of Venus Williams, although I think this young lady has a much prettier face.

This photo looks to me the way classical or allegorical statuary looks when hastily draped with whatever is at hand against the easily-offended eyes of religious zealots. I have no doubt that she would look better nude.

Given that she can’t go about nude in the city, I’m sure there are better style choices for cool, inexpensive dresses that might better compliment her formidable physique. The colour, however, is a winner.

she’s so fresh and beautiful- and such perfect skin

Perfect combination: yellow dress and black skin. I like this shot

What smile. It’s even better than the dress.

nice hem on that dress, that’s my favorite part

I know it’s been said twice already, but that color is GORGEOUS on her. I wish I could pull off yellow that well.

And the white sandals and nailpolish are the perfect finish.

She looks great in that dress, free and easy as a summer day. She seems like a happy girl.

You should spend more time in Harlem!

perhaps a belt to pull it together a bit? Love the color on her, and her smile.

She’s unquestionably beautiful, and that shade of yellow is stunning against her skin, but I see nothing in the outfit or presentation that tells me who she is, what her style is, point of view, etc… Those shoes are everywhere and the cut of the dress would be just as ubiquitous if not for the puzzling hemline. Sorry. I hope this isn’t too harsh.

Beautiful! Both the girl and the dress colour.
She’s also matching the nailpolish with her shoes. Like that little detail.

It’s so nice to see someone not of the fashion set back on this site! OG sartorialist

I have that dress! Mine’s navy blue, but she makes all colors (reversible too!). A great, young designer sells them from her sidewalk stand in SoHo…

Good Day Sunshine!

I completely disagree with Michelle– this is all about the young lady’s point of view. Color says so much. This is about her and NOT what some magazine or website has to tell her.

Yellow this bright in NY is such a statement–to my mind, a wonderful one. POW!!! Such positive energy.

She shows that the best accessory is good posture!

wowwiww
being of dark skin
i think i need tofind myself something in that colourr!!
:)

Yellow and white are lovely together, and they look good on her. I like the hemline doubled like that. In fact the bubble skirt on the dress is what makes it interesting at all. She does have a nice naturalness to her.
