The Sartorialist

A bloody amputation of a good tweed jacket. No finishing of any sort on the armholes. Awful!

It must be an ex-boyfriend's coat, not her Dad's.

awesome…I love what she did!!!

she is lovely!

Creativity and vision! Truly fashionable!

I don't love the look, but your portraits get better and better. Amazing! Love the recent shots. LOVE.

what fun! For a moment, I thought her style was so fresh, she was holding scissors!

Ah! Very 'Dash meets Cash', LOVE her battered balenciaga and Van Noten pumps! The scarf on the head is too cute! Love it!

hmmmmm???? I kinda like it…in a slightly Edward Scissorhands sort of way:) Works for her!

Great photograph; the red bag, the stone building, how her headband brings out the colour of the stripes in her shirt, her red cheeks…she looks like she's wishing she hadn't cut off those sleeves. I wonder who's she's calling and where she's going to go…

she's cute but i'd hate to be guy who owned that jacket

The armholes are a nice distraction to the clashing plaid/stripe combination that does not particularly work in this case. Love the accessories, though.

Amazing shoes, and the pattern clashing works stunningly

At last I have your book – birthday request from my daughter. Sadly missed your signing in London. As a 1960s 'dolly bird' I am sad that London street style is so poorly reflected in your pictures. I see many stylish people of all ages and both sexes at London vintage fashion fairs.Their clothes are at least one year ahead of catwalks – because designers and stylists visit us. Without doubt the most stylish people you photograph are in Milan but I am also very happy to confirm that the most beautiful live in Dublin.

hmm, nope. hate it. but love the comment above about the coat being that of an ex-boyfriend! that's it!

Infectious/Contagious smile.

LOVE!

she ruined the vest !! pff
dont like this style anyway
cute smile :)

i noticed people see fashion in their own different way. nice one girl, you got style. :0

Oh boy, what would Dad say… I would not have the balls to cut a perfectly good coat, although there may be an overabundance of tweed in the island, so her view on the subject may not be mine…

Cute little pose.

I love the mixing of patterns. The colors all make it work so well.

The shoes! What are they? I must have them.

I also adore the plaid upon stripe and the contrast of the perfectly tailored to the improvised headband and frayed jacket. But I'm torn on the cut sleeves. It could be precious, and clever. But part of me thinks it looks like a massacre to something handsome and should be passed down.

What did that coat to her? It must be something terrible….. It seems a joke to me, I don't like it. But the rest is great!! :)

Welcome to Dublin!! This girl is a rarity on the streets, really. Not so sure how I feel about the mess she's made of a fine tweed however.

Ugh!! This jacket is hideous!!

That red bag is really cool… i love the diy on the jacket.

whoa, it DOES look amputated. cool photo!

looks unfinished… like it was a mistake??

That is a wonderful photo!

Yeah…no.

i can only imagine how bad the jacket would look with her arms sticking through it. innovation for innovations sake isn't innovation.

Not so crazy for the jacket, I don't know if it looks strange to me because her arm isn't going through it, or because it looks so brutally ripped off…but I NEED those shoes!

The lady here indeed look lovely. Hard for me to fathom the arms amputated jacket however, a tad nondescript?. This one won't be a memento SArt, sorry I don't aquiesce

LOVE! all your Dublin photos! Such a fantastic city with such understated style. And contrary to popular American belief, they have some great food too!

the emperors new clothes…

cute! and definitely innovative… LOVE the shoes.

The rings are gorgeous! Just bought two very similar from designer Lori Leavitt.

She is pretty, really pretty with an amazing smile, I like the combination of checked trousers and striped top, the shoes, hmm, a bit worn out for my taste, sorry.. But the jacket, I do not get that at all.. Nothing wrong with the idea of cutting your dad's old jacket, but it doesn't work, seriously. Otherwise I like the picture though.

I'm currently mourning the loss of that beautiful jacket. I like everything else about the girl and her outfit (including her phone that matches her purse), but i can't get over her cutting the sleeves off of that coat.

Ok I really love her.. Tartan, stripes and the scarf has its own pattern as well… But her smile is what pulls it all together. Good for you girl your as right as rain…..

wow it's awesome, the blazer is so unique :P

xxx

it's the combination of stripes and plaid that intrigues me, the unfinished coat is an added bonus to the look

very nicely put together look…something about the shoulder padding bothers me though…

I love the combination black and brown shoes-tartan trousers-striped jacket-red tote. The amputated over-size jacket is a bit too much though.

Not a headband- A PRADA SOCK on this girls head!! Cool!!

This is one of the most high ranked blogspots I've ever seen

Did she really sever someone's arm off? She's still got the weapon in her hand – guilty your honour!

I am with CW. But I do have to admire her courage!
Just a bit disappointed that this idea's come straight out of a magazine…

More Dublin shots please…
Leave the girl alone – the roughness of the jacket works…
She's cute as a button.

She ruined a perfectly good jacket. Could have just rolled up the sleeves or something less drastic.

COME TO MALLORCA!

shes perfect
I rather she has a cellphone than a cigarrette
and her purse OMFG
her hair is beautiful too
Def recommend her something like this ::

dontcha think??

Oh I saw her in town on Sat, and though I saw you as well in Powerscourt! Must have been! Great picture and look, love the splash of red from the bag..

This girl's just sweet. :)

And I love her shoes!

Everything is perfect except for that poor tortured coat.

it's fun and outrageous, but as a whole, too mch going on for me. don't like the arm cut out, but like the idea of making something "new".

CUTE!

Shoes, handbag, rings,headband, pose and attitude are amazing!…..I really think she doesn't care what we think about the sleeves missing from this great jacket! she looks incredibly happy!!!!.great shot…thanks…

I seriously love her striped trousers a'la Betty Draper in Mad Men. Where can I buy pants like that?

wow, great haircut. I love this high heels.

Nice shoes. The coat is too out there for me.

Fantastic shoes! Very nice! Nad the smiling is very cute, too.

Blog it! >> http://fashionmeetscologne.blogspot.com/

Ooh, very nice! And I love the combination of tweed and stripe and plaid. And the hairband is great too. And did I mention her shoes?

Okay, I'll calm down now…

Great outfit.

I'd need to see her standing to get a really great look but I love the pants…

I think it must be an Irish thing to mutilate perfectly nice garments! I've done the same thing on a number of occasions to varying degrees of success. I'd love to see what it looks like when she's wearing it. Otherwise the rest of her is perfect. She's spirited in a very Irish way. I love it.

So glad that you've picked up on the pale and interesting here. Such a refreshing contrast to the fake-tanned, hair-straightened, wannabe Paris Hilton's that walk the streets of Ireland.

And such an honor to meet you, What??!

She could pull this off if it weren't for the red bag. I think the candy colours in her headband and bag make the outfit look cheap and crafty instead of dramatic.

Good idea on her part though, nice to see some real creativity in clothing.

My eyes cannot get past the ripped off arms. Hideous!

Gorgeous face and smile. I like :-)

Oh I love it. I'm a bit surprised to see all the fussing about a "nice" jacket. That jacket very well may have been a vintage piece that ended up with a huge hole in the arm, from a tear or moths or what have you. I see this and I see someone who has perhaps repurposed something to make it more usable for her. Even if it is not my style (I would be more likely to wear it whole), I take my hat off for the innovation and creativity. I love it all the more that it is raw and 'amputated' and brash, the concept isn't one that would lend itself well to delicate treatment.

I wanted to love the coat, but after checking it out like 10 times, it's still a "No". I wonder if the amputated look would be less of an issue for me if I did not happen to come across this very picture right after watching "The Lodger", a thriller movie by Alfred Hitchcock… Nevertheless, love everything else.

con-se-quent!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the shoes

I love the tie headband! Great touch, I'll definitely try that out.

so cute

I don't care about the coat….but the SHOES!! They are amazing; where can I get some?!

What a gorgeous smile. Love her headband.

Great picture, so natural! Completely disagree with all the people saying she shudve neatened off the armholes, I think its perfect as it is:)!!
