Headbands…what a tough accessory.
When they are right, they are really right and when they are wrong you’re Loverboy.
To me, the headband makes this whole look, makes it more slinky.

Loving it… what a natural pose striker~!
As an aside, how quickly the species became camera conscious! And in what, a span of _maybe_ 180 years?!
With Neptune currently transiting humane Aquarius, expect the many as opposed to the few seeking and bringing to bear a very cinematic sense of self, destiny, and style…. expect lots of trends harkening back to that queen of the self-reflexive, the stock Hollywood image. And from all periods. Bottom line? Glamour, glamour, glamour! Illusion, delusion, confusion!

she’s strikingly beautiful. i wonder how old she is, she looks very young, maybe 18, 19, but still has a fierce attitude. She’s just plain gorgeous.

Stunner. Who cares about the outfit? (though I do think it’s very cool). She’s got to be a model… and if she’s not, she should be. Way more interesting than so many of the other boring girls you see on the runways and in magazines.

I love her whole look – the mix of textures and proportions. The headband serves to highlight her beautiful face. And Hey! – she’s not carrying a bag the size of Brazil… Great photo!

You absolutely, positively must love the Chuck Taylors. To me, the Chucks take this whole ensemble to another level as much as the headband does.

Dang! This youngster knows what she’s doing. Ultra cool and cozy in her clothes. Love the Converse sneakers, and you’re right–the headband does the trick.

While she’s definitely beautiful – no denying that…the outfit is common-there isn’t anything special about the shoes, purse, sweater or shoes.
I can appreciate the whole urban look of the shot though…
Background is marvelous!

when the headband comes with the beautiful head, it should be awesome.

Lovely, symmetrical face. Is that a lace shawl draped scarfwise? The dark clothing and accessories frame and spotlight that beautiful, intelligent face. Yes, no enormous bag to distract from or hide this dignified woman.

She’s one long anonymous popsicle until you get to the face. Band, brows and mouth make for a very happy surprise. Glad you caught the shot. It made my morning.

The background brought out the whole attitude from her look. /when i first look at this shot, i just love it. but, then when i did zoom in, i thought she looks sleepy and the headband just don’t fit in.

Oh man, headbands are my thing so I’m glad this photo showcases one! I also love her super relaxed pose and the city buildings in the background…it almost looks like the street is deserted, which really adds to the moment that was captured.

She reminds me of Mimi’s character from Rent; rebellious, rugged, yet girlishly vulnerable in a way that makes her quite stylish. :)
I like it very much. I’ve been donning various headbands in odd ways since last year and everyone in my suburbian surroundings seems to look at me strangely, until one day a lovely Brazilian woman said to me, “The way you wear your headbands are very en vogue.” That meant a lot.
If you ever want to check out my fashion blog, that’d be wonderful.

Like the background of this shot.Does she think she’s posing for vogue?. She’s wearing too much makeup and looks so unnatural.

Completely in agreement with Jorge, the first poster: that background is surreal– the composition of the three buildings look like a montage from a painting. Love your eye sir!

I love this picture, but I still think this outfit would be better without the chucks. They’re so done. Everyone needs to put them in the closet for a few years and wear them when they’re fresh looking again.

I love her headband. Inspiring.

Am I the only one who didn’t get it? I think the headband makes her forehead look a bit wide and short and creates a strange first impression. The rest is fine.

She’s a little intimidating in the face, but chuck taylors can make anyone whimsical. If she chose some sort of lace up patent booties instead of converse, she’d be completely unapproachable. Pretty.

Honestly, is she a model for whom you hired a stylist or someone you ran into on the street? NYC has a lot of gorgeous women with amazing individual style but this woman is STYLE from her head wrap to her Chucks.

She is gorgeous but looks like she can’t really afford good shoes.
I love your website because you usually photograph really well dressed people so I can get good ideas on how to be better dressed.
This doesn’t help.
