wow she is a very good poser.

oh la la. Paris chicque…

nice silhouette! great pose. love this pic! thank you! :)

The hair, the pose, the colors, the location…picture perfect.

she looks a bit like coco chanel!

WOW! I know you feel proud of this shot.. You should be! This is one of my favorite shots of yours. I want to matte and frame it. Love her expression, her hair, and I really like how you focused the camera with the tile in focus. It feels sooo vintage! Superb.

so french

This photo is *superb*. Face, hair, dress, posture, setting. This is pure brilliance.

Gorgeous girl, gorgeous shot. No wonder the whole world loves you.

first!

It’s a beautiful image, but I’m still trying to decide if I like those boots…

Tres tres tres bon! The boots are amazing – I bought them recently for dirt cheap, for Michael Kors (find them online at Jildor Shoes). She rocks this look. And you rock the angle.

she looks very confident, I would be too in her outfit :D

such a coquette !

love the pose, the coat, the hat, the bag –

and oooooo the boots….

absolutely gorgeous. what a wonderful coat. and she wears it so well!

I want those shoes!!
xoxo

Can we please retire that style of shoe? They’re tacky.

coat’s nice. but wouldve been a generic french chick without the boots.
the boots give the edge.

Dark eye, dark hat, dark boots, wonderful hairdo…
Golden background and extravagant floor make it match so well with the name of the photograph (countess of Castiglione was an extrordinary, ‘blazing’ woman…) Great!

Love the boots and her attitude!

Too chic for her own good!

She looks chic but that coat on short me would never do.

fabulous boots!

Very nice! Wonderful ensemble, from the tips of her boots to the top of her beret!

It’s all about that jacket.

so sexy

I love boots!
kiss kiss

So elegant!

Fashionable footwear is de rigueur, and she clearly got the memo! Those boots are killer!

What a beautiful photo! Love the colors and the attitude of the woman. I love your photos. Super blog!! Keep up the great work of art!

The coat is lovely. The pose well, it’s memorable but not really necessary because the coat speaks for itself. I don’t think that i agree with the footwear but I appreciate the contrast they offer to the coat. I get it.

Also, thank you for getting back into showing a mix of types of people. She’s not so conventional and that is great!

best!

Michael Kors High-heeled Doc Martens! I bought them a couple weeks ago for 75% off! the comfiest shoes in the world and instantly breath some edge into any boring old outfit. love it!

i think she tries too hard to look good. there’s no natural flow.

I want hair like her…but red.

gorgeous picture as always Sart

killer boots and love the back in the coat, the silhouette is great. i dont like that the bag is brown though, would have been better in black.

Put it on the cover of your book. Amazing, dreamlike. Work of art.

I love the comments about a “so french” look, believe me reality is not always like that, but this is interesting the way you see France or you imagine France, you can find this in NY or Berlin even Bruxelles , but anyway this is nice , remind me the idea about America and NY that we had when we were young, I mean in France. Something mythic, the French glamour, Paris capital of fashion.America the country where you arrive poor on monday and where you are rich next saturday..
Concerning the pic, love the Annick Goutal tiles under the “mistress” shoes of this glamourous young lady. Very 1920- 1930 mood, could be Cartier Bresson atmosphére!
Thanks Mr Sarto …

very sleek, S&M boots!

I second studiophoto1, the floor is an amazing stage

thanks phillipe for mentioning this elaborate, romanticized, ‘so french’ view of parisians, or “french” people in general. just bc it is a ‘good’ stereotype, it doesnt change the fact that it is a stereotype and these are inherently reductive.

paris is a place of incredible diversity and a range of style. there is no one french ‘look.’ perhaps those within the fashion community share a love of fine labels and couture, yet i think if you were to venture into immigrant communities, you would really see the inequity that lies there and also appreciate a different and equally valuable notion of ‘style’…

Her sphinx look is kind of fascinating – just like “decipher me or I devour you”.

And I love her bag, too. And her hair, and her boots, and her coat… xD

on the street?
really?

FanTAStic!

It looks like a time warp but in a beautiful way. I love the whole outfit!

Most posers are ordinary posers. But this lady really takes the effort to pose in a original way.

Good picture!

I like the way she looks!! So French!! What about her eyes?

I wouldn’t need anything else with a coat like that!

Love the shoes

Love the drape at the back of the coat, and what a wonderful backdrop for her. It’s like you caught her window shopping and she only noticed she was being watched when the shutter snapped.

boots on their own, not a great deal .. coat on its own, not a great deal either .. but put all together on this lady, on the beautiful mosaic, romantic lighting, with only one eye hynotising the camera .. it’s wow! love this pic

I want those boots!

Nice pose. She is doing her damn thang! I don’t like the back of that coat. I can’t help but think “back fat” or a place to store stolen goods. She sorta reminds of of a sexy thief coming out from the store behind her. Anyway, Great pic.

i really love the double buckle topping the ankle boots. non-functional but perfect. the back drop to the coat adds a subtle flair to the lines.

nice. super nice.

what a perfect photo! Those boots! That background! So perfectly French!

I just had a very weird moment. This girl looks exactly like me, but with better clothes… and I literally went, “WWHhhaaa?” thinking that I had somehow posed for this picture without remembering it.

Wishful thinking.

Unfair. Everything is better in France.

This boots are made for…her! :p

I love how chic it is from head to shins. And then BAM, bondage boots. She rocks them.

i love her pose!

The whole look is fantastic. The boots are perfection! WOW!

The upper part of the outfit has that “timeless” quality about it, but those boots. Ugh…

The KORS Michael Kors – Mogul looks very similar to her boots.

Don’t know what is more gorgeous, the tiled floor, or those shoes!
You’re killing me with these gorgeous photos.

As if Cecil Beaton hit the streets!!

That coat is so unique! i love the way they have placed the volume in an usual place on the back? Weired, but it seems to work, especially with her pose!
And amazing boots… i need me some of them!

yes!

Is she wearing a hat or is it just impeccable hair styling?

Très début du siècle…

Elle serait tellement belle en noir et blanc!

That’s model Shaina Danziger. She’s American.

I love that everybody thinks she’s “so French”! She’s actually an American model named Shaina Danziger from Kansas! She did my lookbook last Fall. She’s with the Muse agency in NY. She’s SO sweet and the girl can seriously make shapes…amazing poser!
