The Sartorialist

woah. she needs to be in the movies. i don’t know why, but she just does.

loving her layers.

Love it!

Its images like these that make me want to pack my bags for Paris and never look back! Again another great shot that juxtaposes the slim and tailored (pant) with oversized and slouchy (cardigan), I smell a trend forming :-) Thanx sart!

Like your purple and black girl from a few days ago, this lady once again demonstrates how wonderful it looks to pair one garment in a bold color with other muted pieces. Great layering… I wish I could see the neckline of the innermost shirt better.

this is the japanese model ai tominga—- she looks great as always. love the see though blk toppeekingout w/ the androgynous sweater and jacket.

love this! the perfect palette of colors for fall.

One word come to mind: fierce.

the series of triangles formed by her haircut, her chin, her black blouse and grey cardigan echo each other and make a perfect geometric composition. she has a beautiful face with no make-up. she is chic and cool.

She looks sexy

I like how the layers work.

The hair frames her face so well.

great haircut.

Effortless color combination. So casual and yet so flawless. I am verrrry interested in the detail on her sleeves. I believe I see some small ties at the elbow. Sweet.

strike a pose….

Adjyg

wait, you all didn’t recognize her as a top model!? of course she is beautiful and has great style!! shame shame on you if you didn’t ; ) just kidding but check out her work, ai tominaga.

ive never seen her with such a short, chic haircut but of course her face can pull it off. i actually dont really like the mix of black and gray but each individual piece and color is lovely and she still wears it all well. just so cool and cas.

*breathless*

All I see is her face. But I think that’s a good thing.

wow. my jaw just dropped. stunning…

Ai Tominaga is just gorgeous! She makes anything look fabulous. Love her!

Les angles de ce visage…et les yeux! Sa perfection me fait presque peur. Fascinante.

great photo sart…mesmeziring…she belongs in a bond film.

This is the most wonderful picture I’ve seen here…, what is this with Asian people ; they always look so mysteriously cool…If you look at this pic closely, you get this androgen kinda feeling…
Love the blue of the jacket …

great style and awesome haircut.

Hi Sart,

This blog is starting to become ‘spotting the fashion celebrity’. I thought it originally intended to depict anonymous cool people in the street, but lately, most of them seem to be working in the industry in some way or another. They certainly look great, but I think it is somehow biased…

Regards

brilliant.

I agree with dan in richmond, the lace contrasts with the other solidly coloured items. In fact it jars a little, so much so that my eye is drawn away from her face every time, which is quite an achievement.

I’m splitting hairs… she looks great.

oh wow.

picture. perfect. face

What a beauty!

The sheer blouse is so beautiful, as is her hair. I’d definitely use the word “cool” to describe her.

Fabulous, love the colors, love the textures, love the shapes, stunning.

Ai cut her hair!! I love her. So gorgeous.

she is amazing. i love the colour combination!

I would lose the grey cardi. Otherwise, it’s a great look. I love the color of the jacket.

A very complex look. All about textures and colour of course. Sheer layer next to skin; cashmere low-cut cardi; wast-cut heavier cashmere jacket; light cashmere scarf. Shape is important too – skinny jeans put her top-half on display. The bob, straight cut hair is perfect beyond words. What makes it work though are too elements we can’t see – her great body (I’ll bet) and her take-no-prisoners spirit.

Colours are classic: blue, black, grey…

Mind you, I’d love to be the guy who makes her laugh so her nose wrinkles…

Ahhhh

Everything about this is beautiful!
The colors really work for her!

Ai looks absolutely stunning & striking in this picture! Just gorgeous! The colours, the delicate top underneath, the long scarf, just love it!

For Anon 12:20

I can actually say that I first saw her from the side on a quiet Paris street in Le Marais. I had no idea who she was until I stopped her to take her photo. I feel very comfortable in how this happened.

As for people in the business, well I started this site during fashion Week in NYC three years ago. I will continue to shoot at the show but I will always shoot everyday people on the street also – that is the combination I like most

i love her style!! the colors, the layers… great!

shes a japanese super model!

Well said Mr Sart! Combinations + Layers are the way to go. Keep up that brilliant eye and beautiful pictures.

*E

I love how she just has an effortless cool stance about her even with all those layers. Stunning!

kar wai kong

love it! love it! love it!!!

It’s gotta be the hair!!!

-VD-

what an inspiration.
i wish i was in paris right now!

Perfect!

I adore (and often practice myself) the combination of shick textures with casual ones: the black lace and cotton cardigan with any colourful accessorise is just perfect…

I like the ensemble very much, it makes me think of of Phi Fall 08, adapted to the street. Surely the news here is as much Ms. Tominaga’s talent as a stylist as it is her impact as a model—for example in Martin Grant’s Spring 09 show. She may be an icon but she has earned it, she’s not just “a celebrity.”

color combo good. adding the grey to the black and gorgeous blue (my favorite color right now – color of my powder room, ceiling included) makes it. i’m thinking that the whole jewel toned fall trend is beautiful especially when toned down by a brown or grey. sjp is doing that trend well.

She is, of course, stunning. That is her business and she knows how to look a camera in the lens and project thru to the viewer. Apparently she is also a woman of taste who has the talent to work with color in clothing as an artist might. But what made me stop in my tracks was the frame around her-the disappearing buildings, there but fading away and the pavement beneath her feet which is reinforces the grey baggy sweater underneath. The meta message seems to be that some of us are lucky enough to find our place in the world which suits us like a setting sets off a gem.

The shot is centered up but her one leg at the diagonal gives the photo motion. A nice little exercise in composition and tone for an art class.

Later in the day, she probably spilled her tea in a carry cup while trying to schlep the baby baggage and that handbag. But for this moment she was in control…and the world and she were both beautiful.

Congratulations, Scott.

i love her mix of jacket, vest and scarf! looks very cool!

AMAAAzing colors.

terribly jealous of that perfect haircut

She’s gorgeous. Love the color of her jacket; the rest – not so much.

Great style!!!!

I love me some Ai please.

She is probably one of the most beautiful alien-esque women in the world.

I love her lacey sheer top underneath with the mannish teal coat and scarf. Perfect combination of feminine and masculine.

wah- 冨永 æ„› She’s really famous in Japan!!
you just saw her on the street?? that’s crazy!! she’s gorgeous!! and your photos are gorgeous too!

One of my fav shots ever!

That haircut is sharper than a box of razor blades

It is the absolute bomb !!

With THAT hairstyle………………….anything she wears would look good

Have to say my personal preference would be for slightly more fitted tailoring on women, but the colours are great, a perfect blend and i like the layering

A very stylish girl

But that hair !!!

It rocks like sylvester stallone and dwayne johnson in a gravel pit !
