I love this. It’s so simple and depends so much on how the clothes are arranged. And the androgeny of the look–it’s got that faint touch of womanly glamour but also a richness that is masculine, and of course the shirt and pants are rather neutral. Actually, this outfit would look awfully good, in a faintly-transgressive way, on the right guy (probably different shoes, though). And her scowl!
Speaking as someone of ridiculously Swedish descent, I enjoy seeing all these very obviously Swedish people–I grew up in a heavily Italian area and always felt a little freakish. The man with glasses in the plaid shirt, for example, looks tremendously like my grandfather–also a wearer of plaid shirts and very good-looking his whole life.
she definitely has her own style, but she’s looking a bit “chucky doll” to me. The ghostly eyes and the randomness of the fur stole if seen in person would make me think she may just be a little crazy, not at all fashion forward. But in the context of this site, well, that always changes things. Still, not my fave by a long shot.
I don’t think she looks sloppy and disheveled at all. She looks totally cool, artfully arranged. I like her. She looks as if she has a mind of her own.
Zombie chic? Perhaps. Self-expression. Definitly. Her look is half-Goodwill bag, half-middle finger to the world. This young lady has something to say, but it’s being overpowered by her aggressive attitude and teenager angst.
Her expression certainly won’t win many friends, but she is exhibiting individualism. The one thing I can’t get over is her nylons. They don’t match her skin, and they don’t look good with the shoes.
You let people talk about her “ghoulish complexion” ? That’s just mean – on your part as much as theirs.
You wouldn’t have dared post so many negative comments if this woman was an editor or associated with French Vogue. Really troubled by your obvious and constant favoritism.
for anon 3:50pm I think she was going for “pale drama” so I’m not sure ghoulish is a negative, I think she is a new view Goth – I think it is great she is not afraid to show a different type of beauty
I think she is prepared for the reactions she probably gets and I have even more respect for willingness to do so.
So yes maybe i do show favoritism to those willing to dare

That fur collar is so beautiful. I like the colors of her look.

The cold weather is soon coming and then it is time for furs.Maybe she is trying to attract attention-who knows?

I like the shoes (a lot), but the rest of this does nothing for me. She looks very sloppy and disheveled.

I find this photo alarming.
Wearing fur for warmth/necessity is one thing (think Mukluks or living in Siberia). But this is rather flagrant. Also her make-up is a bit corpse-y.
I find this to be the opposite of fashion or trendy or appealing.

very Peter Lindbergh looking girl – even though i’m not overly keen on fur, it’s a great combo with the rest of the outfit.

She definitely brings the phrase “beautiful mess” to mind.

This is horror film chic! A daintier shoe – but not too much so – would have been even more perfect.

I love it. This is style, as opposed to fashion.
That said, I’d love it more with pants that weren’t pegged at the ankles.

Intriguing combo. All these simple elements topped with the fox fur. And those eyes. And that hair.
Winter in the summer. Dark in the light.

I love this. I think it’s stunning. So unfussed and yet oddly composed. A little like a painting. Or a mood.

The chic fur & heels contradict vastly with the messy hair, heroin chic make-up and messy blouse.
I can’t decide if this is an accident or she’s just brilliant.

this seems to be a very modern approach to fur that designers should think about in this time of uncertain clinate change

Looks like some animal crawled out of her armpit and around her neck and then died. Not a good thing.
