The Sartorialist

I’ll never ceased to be amazed by the perfection of the Swedish gene pool.

oh these scandinavians. absolutely gorgeous

beautiful person, beautiful dress and beautiful photography.

Ethereal shot. Modern hair and girly dress combo with sweet necklace on beautiful girl. Then those contrasting Oxfords! Sometimes find NY too flawless, Paris too arch, London too ‘cool’. Stockholm’s dancing to its own drummer- style not fashion: love it.

good morning stockholmmmmm!

She is unimaginably gorgeous. I want her haircut.

Isn’t that the Pixie girl from last time you were in stockholm?

Of course, now I long to move to Stockholm–simple-yet-gorgeous clothes and a national health care system! Although I’m still having trouble adjusting to some of these mid-eighties looks–I associate them with my mother and what she was wearing essentially from about 1984-1994 (and although she is a talented woman she’s never been interested in fashion), also with certain unhappy junior high school graduation memories of my own. Some of these clothes look frumpy to me–or rather, to me they read as “frumpy for ironic reasons”. (I did go through an “early eighties suits” phase myself back around 1999, with that goal in mind.) It’s really helped me to realize how people who care about how they look can end up looking out-of-date in a bad as opposed to a classic way–I could easily see myself staying with looks I’ve liked over the past eight or nine years merely because it’s hard for my eye to adjust to anything else. So, onward now to high-waisted pants!

lovely…

I take that back…I love EVERYTHING about the subject

A cute girl-who has not over dressed herself,which is a very good act. She looks natural and comfy of herself and I appreciate that.Well done.

stunning. reminds me of charlize theron

So beautiful, so sweet!

She’s beautiful! Looks like an angel.

Love it ! This dress is just perfect. Love the way she tones down the cuteness of the dress with more masculine shoes…

this girl is freaking gorgeous!

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! If she had worn any other type of shoe it would be a whole different look. Hair & make-up are just perfect!

Oh, what a lovely hair style!

She’s awesome.

those shoes are beautiful!

Awesome raccoon eyes on her. I think it works really well on her because of her pale complexion and blond hair.

I LOVE this! I wish I was her.

She’s very pretty, with an effortless abandon. Nice photo, you’re talented. :)

Oh my, she is gorgeous!!!

wow..is she a model?i love her hair and eye make up…very cool!

The shoes are too heavy for the lightness of the dress. The necklace is too long (extending beyond the waist) and the style is too modular for such an airy summer frock. The dress is a lovely shade of blue for her complexion however the waist is too high and creates a box out of her torso. Her heavy eyeliner is a nice contrast with the dress and makes more of a statement than if she had gone with something more subtle. her hair goes along with her eye liner, it’s a little punk rock meets country bumpkin.

devil’s haircut?

sexie pixie style

Very pretty.

that same pixie looking girl you shot in may! love how she played up her eyes…

besides the fact that she’s luminescently gorgeous…the shoes are perfect, and so is the necklace.

When can we see a dark beauty? But she’s lovely all the same.

This is the same Gwyneth Paltrow/Christy Turlington look-alike you shot at another time. I thought most of your subjects are shot randomly, chosen as you see them on the street.

How beautiful. Who cares what she’s wearing when her face is so striking? Love, love her hair.

Is Stockholm full of other-worldly beauty and style or what?!

could her hair be any more awe-inspiring?

breathtaking.

Scott, this is your best work to date.
Amazing found. I would have asked her to marry me, right away. Thank GOD I’m single. But unfortunately I’m not in Stockholm right now…

Keep ‘m coming, Sartorialist.

simply stunning!!!

Love her hair. She’s simply radiant with beauty.

Wow! She looks like Agyness Deyn to me, but with a little more feminine touch.

Gorgeous and PERFECT. True fashion with a dapple of trend.

On the street just leaving the fashionshows. Thats why the makeup and hair is great.

Wow. Just, wow.

I wonder what she’d look like without all that eye makeup, though.

I love the hair.
Nice catch, Sart.

Makes me proud to be Swedish in heritage as well as want to learn the language. Beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

Yep! I’m speechless.

PPS — Just realized the smoky eyes may be a happy accident. Was she modeling at the show, Sart?

she’s beautiful, and the outfit totally works on her. head to toe. and i especially love her eye makeup and brogues. – minette

i think my heart just stopped looking at her.

she is gorgeously beautiful without seemingly trying too hard. from the vintage dress to the mismatching oxfords and the kohl rimmed eyes – she’s a walking contradiction and everything screams style, not blind fashion.

definitely an inspiration!

And that’s a really nice and nicely-styled hair..

now I realize why I am so proud of Swededen.

I had to comment as well* because I realised I kept coming back to look at this shot…everything about it and her is perfect.

I can not believe how many comments this post has garnered. Sure, she is very beautiful, but her style is completely uninteresting. I actually think her outfit is downright dowdy. It is a nice picture, but people with model good looks photograph well regardless of what they are wearing. I am very disappointed to see this on a blog about style.

perfect! wish we saw more stuff like that on the streets here!

she looks like charlize theron

she is a piece of gold

“The shoes are too heavy for the lightness of the dress. The necklace is too long (extending beyond the waist) and the style is too modular for such an airy summer frock.”

I think that’s the point. Sure, she could be more “feminine” and “beautiful” and wear dainty heels and a little gold chain, but then she’d only be using her beauty for evil and not for sartorial gain.

I tought you where supposed too take pictures of regular people, it’s not fair she looks like a model :)

she is so pretty!
and i like her dress!

she loooks great! I loove swedish girls. :)

She’s like the more feminine version of that rockabilly guy (http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/RlGnbhLQnvI/AAAAAAAABQM/kvVAi77JNLA/s1600-h/blondeboy.jpg) you shot in Sweden earlier this summer.
Fantastic.

stunning dress
stunning girll
its amazzing
:)

Didn’t anyone notice Vendela’s own posting above? Why are we writing in if no one’s reading anyone?

wow, she is beautiful.

She’s so beautiful. I really envy her haircut. Even though I want to get my hair cut that short, I can’t because I’ll get mistaken for a chubby, pre-adolescent boy.

wow
