    THIS DOESN’T LOOK NATURAL. MORE LIKE AN IMPROMPTU PHOTO SHOOT.

    The first thing that went through my mind was (singing) “…daughter Judy, Jane- his wife!”. All she needs is Astro the dog!

    She looks great, really like the touches of red – lips, nails, sunglasses.

    LOVE! It takes some guts to buy those shoes, put them on and get out of the house in them and be confident! Great outfit, perfect legs, and those red sunglasses that are the one color that pops! I mean, let’s face it, silver is basically gray. I have a pair of silver Prada sneakers that I wear from time to time, it is a nice crazy thing to do. Note how the outfit is so outre that the accessories are kept mi-ni-mal. Also like the fit of the navy polo on the man in the background. Jorge from W Palm Beach

    Well, I’ll give her points for pushing the boundaries, but this outfit just looks contrived to me. When I look at her, I really believe that this outfit was designed solely for the looks it would receive, and the comments she’d get. To me, style should be personal, and for oneself, not purely as a costume to get other people’s attention.

    This is one of those outfits that you look back and say, “What was I thinking.”

    That jacket look fantastic on this woman – it goes well with the MacBook

    I love that you shot her in front of the silver motorcycle. It gives her futuristic theme more of that “oomph”. A great way to create the illusion. Her shoes totally complete the outfit. Great photo, as always.

    This girl does not seem to be wearing a personal outfit. She looks like dressed to promote a product or receive guests in an event or something of the sort – a very usual practice in Europe.

    This is very pierre Cardin and i actually love the shoes she chose to go with it all. Though the fact that she is rushing and doing business on the side of the street isn’t very flattering to me.

    she is so cute and clearly doesn’t take herself too seriously. if she was wearing pants with this, i’d be disappointed, but teh skirt, silver boot, white coat combo is perfect.

  24. K.B.

    July 22, 2008 at 12:55 pm

    Well, it’s interesting, I’ll give it that. The jacket could actually work if it were paired with a straight black skirt or slim black pants. But with shorts and silver wedgie sneakers? Makes me think “Halloween costume” instead of “great outfit.”

    An outfit which yet again belies the axiom that Italy is the cradle of good taste in fashion.

  26. Silvia

    July 22, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    Doesn’t she look just like Emily from “The devil wears Prada”?
    I really don’t think that she was promoting a product or things like that. I’m from Italy, and, believe me, they really don’t make you dress like THAT to promote something.

    the jacket is great and her hair also …
    but what’s up with them shoes? she looks like she juststepped down to earth from the “spaceship enterprise fashion week 2008″
    beam her up scotty!!!

    I can’t make up my mind about it. I love structure in clothes, but I feel like this is verging on “costumey”.

    Maybe it’s just because I’m partial to the past than to the future….

    Not crazy about the shoes, but the blazer is a-huh-huh-mazing. Can a boy wear this? It’s been my ambition for the longest time to dress as though I’m a visitor from the future. Fo’ reals.

    I love the cut of the jacket and wish she was standing. The picture would be so much better if those ghastly shoes weren’t visible.

    Ha! I think this picture is funny! Her outfit is so costume-ish yet she is sitting there looking stern with perhaps important work that couldn’t wait. The shoes look like they need to be worn every day with every thing! As for the jacket, just as someone mentioned above, it looks like a uniform for the show room of a slick product… or orbit gum..

    How do you do this, Scott? Did you happen to see a sleek bike and thought, “I’ll look for a subject with a space-age style outfit.”, Or, did you see her and looked for a matching bike. Or, was the bike hers and then you just found yourself a serendipitous shot. Seriously, you find the best backgrounds for your subjects and I find myself curious about your process.

    She looks awesome! I would love to see her standing up. Her silver peep toe lace-up booties are sick. The white jacket is beautiful and futuristic.

    work those shoes!! i love the summer suit. BUT.. i wish she wore maybe a tight gold or silver skirt along with bright metallic shades. that’s futuristic.

    jacket or shoes are both fine on their own, but together the look is just too much and screams “look at me, i work in fasssssshion.”

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the jacket! Where’s it from? She pulls this look off impeccably. I’m loving the hair and the Lolita apple red colored glasses…very fab. :)

    it’s not just the outfit but the motorcycles behind her and the laptop and the hair that make this so perfect. But i think what works best is that she isn’t looking at you for a portrait, so it looks like you’ve captured the future.

    The shoes are very space-age; I love them.

    Lovely jacket. I really like the quality of the material – it looks soft but holds the shape. And the belt is great too. The whole look is quite unique. Very inspiring. Thanks!

    Is it wrong of me to find this photo hilarious? Oh to work in fashion when I could wear an outfit like this and STILL be treated seriously.

    I do like her hair do very much – sleek but not severe – nice.

    The Italians seem to be obsessed with silver shoes at the moment … and I’ve seen them popping up in the UK too … on men.

    She looks like a celebrity model(Dianna Krall) who just appeared in the runway show of her friend Judy Jetson’s ’09 Spring collection. Fun photo.

    I think the outfit, especially the YSL jacket would look much better composed and would work better if seen while standing and moving around. Good use of accessories! Love the look.

    Umm,…o.k. Sort of a Judy Jetson/Thunderdome vibe going on here. Is that a skirt or hot pants under there? Either way, eewww. Is she contacting the mothership for a pick-up?

    I applaud this woman for pulling off such a stunning outfit in public! The Margiela futuristic jacket paired with the metallic stacked space age-y boots is forward thinking! Also, the way she has her done is the perfect antithesis for her statement-making jacket and shoes. She looks straight out of 2035! Just fab!

    When I first saw this I liked it, but on the 2nd look, I don’t like how the shorts or skirt are so short. I mean, I agree she’s keeping the accessories subtle and that’s a good thing, but I wonder if the shoes plus the very short skirt or shorts plus the angular jacket is just TOO MUCH. ALL AT ONCE. I think I’d have to see her standing up to really know, though.

    I like how the scooter in the background ties in together with the shoes and creates a subtle contrast, had the scooter been white or red it wouldnt have made such a uniformed composition. Splendid shot.
