Stunning. So very chic and what poise!

Loving the strong colour on her.
Her shoes are very gorgeous too.

LOx

Good morning chicness!
I like your play with the colors.

These are both just gorgeous, but the first one is one of your most beautiful portraits.

love it!

Absolutely gorgeous! She looks like a golden age jazz singer. I want to sit her down, talk jazz and shoes, and rummage through her dress-up box.

I adore this girl. If only people could follow her wonderful example…

Very beautiful!

so so classy with the pearls…

Excellent style excellent shots! She knows how to work the proportions and the colours and is not afraid to show it.

I like the look, especially the dress color and all accessories. Details are powerful and mean the style.

Stunning pics, the palette is breathtaking.

Absolutely stunning. I loooove the black and white — her eyes are gorgeous. From her hair to the gloves and purse, she looks sophisticated and fun!

beautiful and ghlamorous
i love how the shoes match the dress!!

Modern, yet classic. If this was a black & white photo, it would strongly evoke the late '40s are early '50's. She is strongly reminiscent of my mom in her heyday. Therefore, she is beautiful.

lovely.

very nice, she is beautiful and that bag is charming

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G, so chic and timesless

So elegant, so classy. Wonderful. The color looks perfect together with her skin.

Seriously, what's not to love? I'm so happy with the return of "grown-up" dressing. Why shouldn't we all look so presentable when we walk out our front door? She looks elegant and poised. I adore this.

can't believe how everybody is caught up in "Mad Men" madness

Exquisite. Vintage clothes were popular long before Mad Men. The closets of our mother's and grandmothers are a fantastic source. Frankly I'm happy to see tailored clothes that fit rather than pajama bottoms with Juicy across the back.

Irrespective of the fashion- that black and white photo has to be the most beautiful shot you have captured to date! Composition, tone and clarity just come together perfectly.

Stunning. Heartening and moving to see such elegance and beauty

What a beautiful young lady. Such poise and elegance! And wonderful pictures!!

She looks great, everything just flows from head to toe.

Love the profile pose for a change. She's very ladylike, proper and refreshing.

She is absolutely stunning, so beautiful xoxo

Gorgeous portrait, beautiful ensemble, perfect shoes.

She's delightful!

Actually, what I find most fascinating (At least, being a photographer myself) is the contrast of reds. I love the outfit, especially the shoes, but the reds in this picture are stunning!

Well, I'm not hot on the dress, it hangs funny. But I do love the photograph, and she is beautiful.

WOW, beautiful colour and miraculous pictures !

I said it before and I say it again, I just love your photos. The b/w is beautiful.

Stunning! Love the black gloves. Proves wearable vintage is still alive and well.

Wow. Stunning is the word that comes to my mind. Beautiful, poised, and expressive.

A blast from the past.

wow. colors look great.

interesting look, but great model and hair.

I love the vertical streak on the door behind her, almost the shape of her proud stance. It's like a halo of her marvelous elegance and the contrast world. Vertical and horizontal. Wonderfully caught by an eye for detail. Or was it accident?

So classic.

so elegant and stunning!

Great shot, fab clothes. My guess as to why the dress is hanging so……..pregnant?

Love the shoes in all the last five posts. This photo in red and the portrait in black and white are both awesome shots.

Amazing pearl necklace and gorgeous embroidery on her bag! The shoes go brilliantly with her fabulous dress. The bold colour looks great on her!

WOW. What a woman! She's absolutely beautiful!

Do you have any knowledge about that purse she is carrying? I have one just like it that I got at a vintage shop – and I'm pretty sure my friend has one that is very similar as well… was this purse a huge fad at one point and spread around the nation?

so do you mean modern as in the way helvetica and an Eames rocker is modern?

i see this as beautiful and elegant, yes, but, although it appears to jump from the same era as the now famous font and rocker, modern would not be the first word that comes to mind to describe this look. i definitely wouldn't characterize it as modern in contemporary terms.

which gives rise to some thought about what images are conjured up by these words.

Great picture for great lady.

Gorgeous colors and great style – a throwback to the 30's and 40's, but the dress really does not flatter her. i was reading some of the comments and people were commenting on how its great to see a woman with curves, and "real women" and such, but I think the bulkiness of the dress and the heavier fabric make her look bigger than she really is! Food for thought.

cheers,

breathtaking!!

Perhaps I'm missing something. I hate to repeat myself about costumery substituting for personal style, but as I believe I'm seeing it again I guess I have to.

She's a beautiful woman and the natural hair is a nice twist on retro style. It may be the only modern element here. Otherwise, I'm not impressed.

i totally saw her on sept 11 near nyu! so chic! loved her outfit!

Wow, such a classy dress! And the on the heels red is fab too

xoxo Sootjeelina <3

Really I can't even explain to you how amazing this is, she is just breath taking.

It's so great to see people still dressing this way. Fantastic.

beautiful photo, beautiful woman

This pic is just stunning !

There is a sense of Lena Horne…poise and elegance.

The portrait should get you a prize on any given Contest with a sane jury panel.

Just overwhelming. Thank You

simply stunning.

great photos. love the dress!

oh my goodness she is gorgeous!!!

Reminds me of your earlier photograph of the pretty woman in bell bottoms and a floppy hat.

She and this lady in red are stylish for wearing proven fashions from another time. The lady in red looks like she stepped out of the 1950s or a Mad Men episode, but luscious.

is her hair red too or is that just a reflection? marvelous photos, both b&w and in color! great subject too. doesn't get much better than this, Sart!

her eyes know who she is

love her dress and shoes. so adorable!

Mr Schumann, this is why I can't quit you. Just when I thought I was out you pull me back in!

Stunning photograph, stunning subject.
Now you're cooking with gas!

wow! she's wonderful and so elegant! great pics, wooooooooooow!

http://www.abitoffashion.com

great background and lovely picture! Pure art!

Not to mention ELEGANT! :)

Love everthing about this photo! The subject has luminous dignity and grace, the industrial shutters create an unusual backdrop for the neat formality of the young lady's attire. Thanks, Scott, for bringing us everyday folks who possess innate poise and style.

She is pure brilliance. Individual style, personified. Gotta love a lady!

I like the natural hair. If I ever decide to go natural, it's good to see it w/a more classic, tailored style.
And as for the fit, I think it is fine. This is an AfAm with hips and a bum. I know plenty of ladies with that type of figure.

This reminds me so much of the Color Purple and how everyone dressed up to go to church.

The outfit is wonderful and I love the shoes w the dress, but I think her eyes are the most beautiful things about her appearance. What a stunner.

She has the biggest eyes!!

Truly gorgeous woman and photo.

As for the comments questioning how modern this look is–yes, it's an old-school ultra-femme ensemble, but she's wearing it with very modern confidence and strength. Her powerful, self-assured attitude and sense of fun (those shoes!) create a wonderful juxtaposition with the ensemble, unsettling and challenging old-fashioned cultural constructions of "femininity" as helpless and demure.

I'm in love with the raspberry shade of her dress,and that bag is to die for.

She is perfection! The hair is immaculate. The color is amazing. The purse is the perfect detail.

(Where was she going? And is she always so well dressed?)

She is gorgeous! Love the way she play with the colors and acessories, much style and confidence. BEAUTIFUL! Kisses from Brasil

i'm usually a silent reader. enjoying your pictures without commenting. but i must say this picture is just incredible! mind blowing! i got goosebumps ;)

what's modern about her exactly?
or is retro very now?

The best of the bunch!

WOW. This photo took my breath away. For a while there i was starting to get tired of your images. The "on-trend" "Fashionable" people with the colour by numbers boat shoes and blazer. But these last few photos (mainly back in NY) have me interested all over again!

i often wonder why many of your quite ordinary subjects are selected. no wonder in this case, and nothing the slightest bit ordinary.

in love, i am.

oooh – lovely photo! i love red aspects…

wow-

great dress, very feminine, very 'mad men'

oh! this is so beautiful!

oh, this is sooooo beautiful!
Who's the model?

WOW. The shoes, the bag, the hair, the pearls. Exquisite!

like the woman in red

Just saw this woman in a cell phone ad last night. She was wearing similarly vintage clothes. Who is she?

these photographs are beautiful in every aspect. the composition and colour in the second one is beautiful!
