The Sartorialist

the balenciaga bag looks fake to me, but she carries the entire outfit well

she looks very lonely

Cool cool style! Lovin it.

WOW!
i’ve fell in love with her outfit ;-)

a little too trendy. like she threw on everything she saw in a magazine and didn’t edit or make it her own.

the shoes in this photo are spectacular. esp. the woman in the white trench. ow OW!

i love the shorts with tights underneath – the whole unpolished, yet polished look. i think her sweatshirt has simone de beauvoir on it. if anyone can tell me where to find this, i will love you forever and ever!!

I am more intrigued by the movements around her than herself. I like how the leg of the man on on the left is about to take a step and how the woman on the right is frozen in time and so on.

The style that the centre object is rocking is all right, but not outstanding.

Pockets hanging out of shorts? No, no, no. Shorts & coat, also no. Cute girl, terrible look.

high five! the most interesting picture i have seen on this site – and this is of course a site with lots of interesting pictures – for me it´s like a frozen moment of a random outdoor ballet – when the prima donna suddenly realizes that everything is transient – even my life has an end – and walks off and buys another pair of Marc Jacobs to regulate her new and intolerable insight – sweet

i love the shoes and the bag. the rest is a bit too normal.

she looks like the epitome of amazing. I like how casual this outfit is not to mention the sart’s brilliant photography skills

I believe that’s Ida Pyk from Swedish Elle.

She has geat hair. Other first impression – her outfit is a Pretty Woman redux…

bebe

Bravo!!!

i love her shoes!!!

oh she is wonderful.

Love the fabulous gold shoes, black stockings and cut-offs! And I especially love how they’re so short, the left pocket is poking out from underneath. God, that detail bring me back to the seventies. So hot.

Amazing bag.

And she has such presence.

looks like barcelona. she’s gorgeous

i hate the fact that she carrying a fake bag… it goes against everyhting fashion is supposed to be…

I love this.

the photo’s stunning! she seems so still amidst the moving crowd

love the t-shirt and the shoes :D

very nice pic.
great composition.

Scott, you remind me Richard Avedon, although your photos are more spontaneous than his. You have the talent to make very good use of the opportunities. This photo is great, with its contrast between people around the central (and serious) girl in “laughing and dancing” attitude. Have you ever thinking about group your most artistic photos in an art book? Yes, because you’re an artist.
That photo of a man in smoke is another one I really have enjoyed.
Congratulations.

love this, its very rock chic!

Apart from the great shoes and hat, for me there is no evidence of personal sartorial style here at all – it’s pure Kate Moss. Sure, she looks good but this look is ubiquitous among skinny young things. What i am drawn by is her beautiful face and haunted eyes framed by a perfect haircut.

That’s in Milan right?
most of all, love her wath!

I believe in tough love and I think you get WAY too many compliments as it is already. But, gee, that is a fun picture!

can’t go wrong with lotta leg and lotta youth.

Beautiful shot-truly a moment frozen in time. She is adorable.

Possibly the best photograph thus far. And while I like her outfit, it’s hardly that. It’s her attitude so completely different from those around her. Perfect timing.

she is so serious! even when others laugh! little bit punk but little bit classic too!
what time it is!?

wow.

Like it but I also like (even more) the lady on the right, especially her shoes and that glimpse of a Chanel bag … !

i think this is a wonderful photograph, and it’s not because the girl has good style, she does; but the narrative is so captivating. I’ve always loved your pictures, they capture our time with a timeless essence. It makes me think of robert doisneau, it has such narrative

I absolutely adore this look. It has just the right amount of funk/punkiness that so few can actually pull off. I especially love the accents that the watch and the gold shoes add to the entirety of the look. It really pulls everything together.

Well, she’s precious. I love everything about her life in thie photo from the headband to her great haircut to the pouty lips to the huge-faced watch… etcetera. All of it. Delish.

J’adore!!

Wow. What a great photo!

just such a great photograph…
perfect spontaneity, perfect contrasts of color and movement/stillness.

i literally can’t stop looking at it over, and over.

her style is very kate moss, but more charming, more playful.

this is Ida Pyk, she´s a model and a writer/blogger for swedish Elle. her tshirt is by swedish designer Lovisa Burfitt, who works from Paris! love the photo, sart!

i wonder what the background figures are doing?

i think this photograph itself is much more inspirational than what the subject is wearing…

Great outfit, love her watch.
But the fake balenciaga really spoils it for me..

This is a Nylon girl.

I enjoy this blog so much because it lets me be places I can’t go. This photo rewards repeated viewings for that reason! The outfit’s not important–or maybe it’s about the trenchcoat woman’s cool shoes?

Perfect.

brilliant! beautiful face.

i try this look often but it never quite seems to work this well.

I think this is a great capture of calmness in the middle of chaos. Yet she still stands out especially with her brooding stare.

shorts and tights. love x

She clearly knows that it’s half past a freckle and the apocalypse is imminent. Such classical composition in this photo, I love it!

The outfit is alright but people, the bag is FAKE! So please stop calling it a Balenciaga! I think this picture should be removed. Sorry

i really like this look. she's very put together, but it's very youthful and age appropriate. love the large watch, love the unexpected denim shorts, & love the funky shoes!
one question- what makes everyone think her bag is fake? looks good to me,am i missing something here?!
anyways, great shot!

for some reason her face looks like she had a hangover?
and pockets poking out of the shorts… i dont quite like stockings with shorts esp dark stockings. her watch is fab though

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL PHOTO…. not for the fashion… but for the composition…. just perfectly timed…. this could easily be an editorial

The photo: gorgeous.
The ensemble: aalllmost. The bag’s a little too big, swallowing her up. The shorts push it over the edge into too trendy-sloppy territory. However, I love her graphic tee/blazer combo, and I love the contrasting dark band on her pale hair, and I almost love the tights and shoes.

As a photographer I have to say that this photo surpasses fashion. forget about her outfit for a second (which I do like but wish the pocket wasn’t showing). there seems to be a great disconnection between her and the people around her. in particular, the lady on her right who is smiling. I love her melancholic eyes. there’s an innocence about her, and a bit of loneliness as well. You captured the moment well. really nice picture.

I saw this girl just outside the Dries Van Noten show at the Palais Royal in Paris Fashion Week. There were lots of bloggers taking photos all around. I was sitting having a coffee in a nearby cafe. I’m so disappointed I didn’t manage to spy the Sartorialist! Nice shot!

Gorgeous, I love it!

what a contrast. I totally love the picture. I think you’d captured the spirit – the alienation (atttitude) but at the same time, craving for identification (style) in youth. you re an awesome photographer

I’ve included a quote from above that seemed so odd to me, here it is…
“Anonymous said…

10:54 AM”

My response to that is: who said that fashion was about spending too much on originals? I guess I missed that memo.

Her bag looks good. You can’t touch it or read the label. I don’t get the point.

Surely it’s about the overall look. Not the money she spent on putting it together.

i like the idea of the outfit, meaning the blazer the shorts witht he tights etc. but i dont like how its on her. it just doesnt feel right. i love the women in the back laughing. shes got awesome shoes. theyre something like the D&G ones. or maybe they are. with those pants.. looks like the ad! and then theres that chanel bag we see a peek of.. thats an awesome bag!
the girl looks cutely in the picture, but im not feeling the outift.

Oh, this girl is so beautiful! Is she a model?

She looks great. I love the how the shoes set off her legs.

i am way, way more interested in the older, bespectacled woman in the background wearing the raymond pettibon t-shirt than anything else anyone has mentioned.
she’s the one i wanna hang with.

I love her stillness on the circle. A spotlight effect!

the balenciaga bag definitly is a fake
it’s the size of a weekender but the weekender never has the extra shoulder strap
I don’t think that fashion is about spending 1000 dollars on a bag but I do think it’s wrong to wear fakes if you can’t afford the real thing just buy another kind of bag
That’s just my oppinion
As for the rest I really do love her outfit, It works well all together altough I’m not a fan of the cut off jeans shorts

Sart! This is just a fantastic shot. Such life. Such joy. It’s like a shot from a musical. It’s hard to believe that it wasn’t set up — but I know you don’t do that.

This has to go in your coffee table book.

The shoes remind me of the the Kremlin rooftops. This is a gorgeous look, for a gorgeous woman.

I don’t have all the insightful reasons that so many seem to have – I just looked and this and really liked it. She looks good. I’d never wear this look, but I think she looks incredibly good.

I though it was about the looks… not the price or the brand… I still like the picture. How could I have known what kind of bag that was??? (Unless of course I live only on fashion but, fortunately, I do not).

I like

a.) the heeled oxfords in the background

b.) the hand drawn naked girl on her shirt.

I looove this photo!!

composition wise, one of your best

so so beautiful, stands out impeccably in a rather impeccable crowd…

tights under shorts…I’m not a fan.

Those shoes on the trench lady!
FABULOUS!

I fell in love with her! Great shot, great outfit.

i don’t like the denim shorts; never like them really mostly on anyone, even those with the legs to work them. otherwise, i like her style, and she’s beautiful. you can feel the life in the background too!

btw, one of these days you should try visiting hong kong–just came from there and many people there are surprisingly stylish. (my brother normally doesn’t care about fashion, but even he had to agree that it was fun to look at the way people dressed there.)

Great look. Her cute haircut adds to the individual style. I disagree about the ‘fake’ bag. Fashion is very much about creating a look. somtimes the looks reflects the person and sometimes they don’t. Some use fashion to hide behind. Fashion is all about the false. Don’t kid yourself!

The Sartorialist: The Musical
!!!

I don’t really care for the girl or her outfit, I can see this in Nashville where I live and yet it’s posted on here like it’s compelling. I find the woman in the beige coat laughing a lot more intriguing. Beautiful photograph but I thought this blog was supposed to be about style and yet I’m constantly bored with your subjects lately.

Great shot, pretty girl, mediocre outfit. Every other girl I see dresses in this uniform of long tee, tiny shorts over leggings, hipster headband, and black bag everyday. Interesting shoe choice, though… not sure I like it or not.

The first thing I thought of was the little girl from the drawing associated with Les Mis.

wow i love her look, and i love that she didn’t have to go super designer to pull it off-i’m almost certain that those shoes are from topshop!

she looks like she is costumed to play in “Rent.” very trendy…love the big watch.

Ida Pyk is not only a beautiful and talented (paris based but swedish) model (as a few people already mentioned). She’s also quite a good writer. Yes, some people have it all. I would not be surprised if those of you pointing at the fake bag already know all this. Hey, if the bag is fake you gotta love her for wearing it while modeling in paris. now that’s a true rebel, folks! also, i’d like to respond to the argument about this not being original; if you got style it will show no matter teh price of your bag, and also – a person with great style will turn any outfit into a piece of art. it’s all in the attitude, no?

Reminds of a working girl/that I once knew/stole my wallet/and stole my heart

Yeah this is just a great photograph. So very in the human moment that the fashion of it all is too mundane to discuss.

great happy shot! Love it! Love that little poppet strutting her stuff and finding her style! Wonderful. This is when I like fashion! It doesn’t have to be perfect, just fun and individual! t.x

It is usually negative that you can see the pocket under the shorts, but on this picture it looked cool next to the black tights. It’s a pretty picture.

i like this, she looks like a rock chic. love the balenciaga bag too. awesome

What an amazing shot! I always try to wait til there’s no one else in the shot, but seeing this is going to change my approach. Brilliant!

she looks so sad compared to all the happy people.

her outfit isn’t so great. looks too much like a mashup of popular trends. only looks good because she’s thin and has long legs. although i will say the headband and the hair works quite well : )

i like that everybody in the backround looks like dancing! kiss from argentina!

I love how just the shoes in this shot tell their own story, the clothes are secondary, great shot.

Ida Pyk is her namne. A swedish model/journalist.

The people in the background are really very interesting. Are they dancing? Filming a musical? What? The girl looks amazing, bag and all! What a contrast!
