The Sartorialist

I love it!

Wow!

What courage!

a little costume like though

This shows a look above a person. If she is not a designer then who is she……

the shoulders are merely secondary in this look.

That says a lot.

The modesty panel on the tights! That is a innovation to be grateful for. I can’t think of a smarter addition to women’s clothing since pantyhose themselves.

I’m going to describe this as “fairy tale chic.” I like it, but the shoulders still remind me of Snow White, or something. I’d hate it if it weren’t all black. It definitely takes a bold personality to wear that. I appreciate it.

This is really unique, and, on her, totally HOT. She’s fierce. Can I have her phone number, please?

I’d love to see the top and pants worn with a slouchy cardigan–not necessarily black. Each item (coat, top, pants) calls so much attention to itself that the ensemble doesn’t cohere–though I like each piece.

love the skirt, and the booties…and black tights…that all works fine…the rest of the outfit doesn’t work too well.

I am completely astounded by the positive comments left here. Really?

I really hope this isn’t driving fashion.

she looks fabulous!

Bravo! Here’s to not watering it down for the “streets”. I would even add one of my big amber rings.

She is great! I love it! I don’t even care if it is a bit much for the streets, it’s amazing and she can totally rock it.

From the waist down, I like it. The shoulders don’t do it for me, and the exposed mid-riff doesn’t really fit with the layers and boots, or well, at all actually. I never liked the exposed midriff look (except at the beach), even when it was very much the thing (when was that. . .late 90s? Early Aughts? I guess I’ve blocked it out.) Cute boots and leggings and skirt, though. That’s a look I might copy!

those margiela leggings/pants are sick
and her jacket is fabbbbb
chic goth-ish look. love it.
but not loving the peek-a-boo of the tummy.

but all together a sick look.

Wheeee!! Love it. God bless costumey!

When a woman dresses like this, she’s ABSOLUTELY considering what others may think.

Welcome back, dear divas!

Gregory Smith said this reminded him of Snow White…

I see the Evil Queen.

I can’t imagine seeing a person wearing this in a crowd of denim and t-shirts. Terrifying but indeed intriguing.

Cool look. I appreciate costumey. I dig it!

Nope,not feeling this at all.But if she is on her way to some costume show,well then I understand.

Love the boots, love the black…
Very dramatic does day… gutzy – I like!!

Halloween isn’t for two more weeks.

the shoulders on this jacket is amazing. i love the drama it creates!

Superb! Such an awesome look. Except for the cigarette which means her wonderful ensemble smells like smoke…

Sometimes this is how I’m dressed in my mind.

On the outside I’m dressed more like the gal below.

I wonder how these folks dress in their daydreams. Or should I coin them “sartorial-dreams”?

“people are always following the rules and most of all not being themselves”

That’s more than a little presumptuous. Just because someone doesn’t want to look like a walking art exhibit does not mean that s/he isn’t being him/herself.

I love the outfit apart from the exposed tummy (too 90s! too soon!), and I wonder where she’s going.

I love how it’s hard to tell what’s going on with this outfit because everything’s black, the pants(trousers) have got an interesting panel at the front and the jacket is unusually structured. It’s obviously a very complex, thought-out outfit, but she somehow manages to make it look very underkey and normal which is clever.

Yeah, it's slightly "costumey" but I love it. She works it. I don't care if it's 9 a.m. She is a breath of fresh air. The sexy evil stepmother in an S&M fairy tale. She punish me any time.

I would wear everything she's got on but not all together. I really love the jacket in all its drama. The tights are so unique and crazy. I'm not sure about the top because I don't know what it is but it's not likely I'd wear it and bare my navel around town.

I dig her hair and her nails and her great profile.

She's perfect as she is.

definitely vampire goth… very Parisian true blood (would never fly in the u.s. south, right?)

love!!!

I know the story behind her pants :D I’ve seen them as jeans before. I believe they’re inspired by the sillohette created by wearing stockings and a skirt together, and margiela intended to re-create this sillohette in 1 garment. Its a beautiful touch, but I think that the pants would be much more appreciated in a subtle, understated look.

Now if only he could merge shoes and socks together…that would be a timesaver

The theme song from The Jetsons is now running through my head…

GASP mon dieu!!!!!! minus everything but the jacket.

where could i ever find such a jacket? i feel such an obsession toward it i might have to make one myself.

thank god for ‘costumey’.
finally a relatively captivating image.

simply divine.

Wow, that´s some bad ass shoulders!

she look like Inrina’s style

That coat is FABULOUS!

i love this! it’s like gareth pugh for real life.

very bold i love it!

so far she’s the best classy goth i’ve ever seen!so cool, so vampire, so spooky yet so beautiful…j’aime beaucoup cette madame, grrr!!!

That’s Irina Lazareanu, isn’t it?

She’s got a truly gorgeous profile…

Looks fab as ever…her name’s Yasmina Dexter. Does PR in London.

i have margiela envy!

She’s amazing. I would die if I saw someone wearing this on the streets of my city.
