The Sartorialist

1. so beautiful, so elegant, so chic

absolutely IN LOVE with everything hwew

love the first outfit!

what a shot!

the shoes, the skirt, the chairs, the clouds!

love it.

FANTASTIC. Too much to say, the picture speaks for itself. A treat for the eyes.

so beautiful

love the top pic…a fab splash of colour in a very chic look!

Im in love with the second outfit, but the shoes ruin it.

ah! thankfully, spring is here; and it’s about time.
these two are perfect sartorial examples of why this is my favorite season.

I love the 2nd one, amazing!! and the shot is wonderful

I guess Easter is upon us. The last outfit is cute.. reminds me of an Easter egg!

jane looks amazing as always…but i am completely smitten by girl #2. I want that skirt! She looks awesome.

The girl in the lower picture looks fabulous! it looks like she woke up on a beautiful sunny day and grabbed her favourite things and put them on. For me her outfit has a very spontaneous, carefree feel and looks so pretty and joyful – what spring should be all about and those have to be the best spring shoes ever!

i love the first it!
amaizing combination
un beso

I love the trench on the girl in the first picture. And those shoes with bare legs looks fabulous!!

The second picture is just adorable. Love it! Wish I could see more of her bag.

Puts me in mind of the story (Cheever? Updike?) The Girls in their Summer Dresses–nice. I find the glasses in the 2nd photo unflattering to her face despite their modishness.

I’m glad that you put these two together; I think they say so much more together than apart.

The first one is such an inspiration to me in terms of fit of the jacket; various neutrals plus a bright color located in a beautiful skirt; and the idea that I might try bare legs with my black booties as a transitional look (something I had been intimidated to try, but I have a frame like hers so I should at least give it a go.)

The second one reminds me to be more daring, to take more risks, and to care less what others might think.

I disagree with the poster who said that the 2nd person would have a richer imagination. I wouldn’t be able to wear that outfit in my daily life even if I wanted to, but I could wear the first one to work. People that work in environments where they are expected to be conservative have, in my opinion, a much more difficult job being creative and imaginative and still towing the line.

love the second girl’s skirt

I love these two very very much.
The second girl, I’m smitten with, the first I solely admire.
Anyone know who makes the trench?
Or any of it for that matter?

the first photo is so fabulous, love the glasses in the second photo!

I also wanted to add: that your blog has helped me overhaul my wardrobe and has changed my attitude to many items of clothing and various combinations. So when I look at the fit of the trench in the first photo, I think to myself that I want a similar cut and double breasted buttons; and I won’t buy until that comes along.

I was browsing through your archives, remembering very well the first time I had seen the older images and where I was when I did, and was amazed to realize that I have acquired so many of the looks/items that I first discovered on here. This is likely why I am so happy with my wardrobe at the moment! Thank you for that.

I love both of these! spring is def. in the air!

The second photo is incredible – almost like two different girls photoshopped together! The calm and cool glasses, black tights, jacket and bag break free into some crazy spring flower of pink and purple ruffled flowery love – spring emerging from winter. The lime green and brown chairs add to the garden-y feel of it all. Grand, Sart!

Please tell me these were just girls on the street and not a fashion shoot — I’d love to think people actually wear such fun outfits as the second picture!! I often see things like this in magazines, but would love if this were acceptable to wear in “the real world.” Maybe I’ve just been in DC too long — too much gray, navy, and black!

I’m enjoying comparing these two and asking myself why I think the first photo is so chic and the second is not. It’s mostly about streamlining: the trench fits her perfectly, the skirt is flared but not poufy, and the boots are sleek. The second photo is just one hot mess. Ruffles upon ruffles, and the shoes are too childish (they must be Marc Jacobs?). The bag is utilitarian doesn’t complement the outfit.

love love love both skirts :) The second photo makes me wish I was by the Tuileries Gardens!

Also, in the first photo, note the angles, of her bangs,of the unbuttoned trench-jacket, of her skirt, and her right arm/hand. Very artistic. Still can’t warm up to the barelegged look with short boots.

I love the first girl, she looks so chic :)

These looks are working for me with the exception of the tights on the second woman. I wish she had chosen a tonal color which matched the colors in her skirt and shoes. Still, I like the idea of her look, right up to the ‘nerdy glasses.

I love the photos, aw and the outfits are so cute ^^
love the skirt in that second photo :D

oh my god, the second one is too much. and by too much, I mean FANTASTIC!

If my four-year-old daughter were a fashion designer, these are the kinds of looks she would create. Especially the second one, with its flounces and those shoes that look like big pink lips on her toes.
I totally approve. We would all smile much more if pink were the dominant color, rather than black.

Who cares if it’s Luella? I’d be way more impressed if she had thrifted the outfit together.

I think it’s a bit over the top, as if she wanted someone to take her photo. Well she suceeded.

Also not a fan of bare legs and short dark boots.

The second girls outfit has SO MUCH personality! I really love it. In fact, it made my day. FASHION.

I bought the same coat today:)

i love the first outfit. it’s perfect from head to toe. gorgeous.

Can someone PLEASE tell me where that shrunken trench is from in the first photo? I have a fantastic green dress that is just begging to be worn with something like that for spring.

The top photo!!

It’s so rare you see a sophisticated skirt that doesn’t shirk on the sexy or the swoosh!

The second one is absolutely GORGEOUS. wish I could pull that off!

I love the skirt in the second photo, red and pink stripe? Nice flare.

I like to imagine that the top picture is of the little girl in “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” – all grown up (or, more likely, HER daughter).
Beautiful.

I love everything about the first picture. She just looks so chic and not over the top. Every piece compliments the next.

LOVE the Luella in the second pic. But don’t like the whole look for some reason.

Wow, love both! Good finds.

I absolutely love the color in this outfit! I completely agree with most of the comments–the outfit is so fun, colorful, and whimsical. I used to not like mixing “weird” colors, but it definitely works for her! I like blogging about fashion shows, and this is Ungaro Fall 2009 inspired. I can completely imagine this girl wearing this outfit (http://content.coutorture.com/2900973?page=0,0,10) come fall!

This is adorable!Love the nerd sufragette look she pulled off and the brave mix of colors. I don’t know how it works but it does!My idea of the key to personal style!

Each element is OK but the all outfit just doesn't work… Nice try ! (Looove the shoes <3)

Great skirt in first picture and fantastic heels in the second.

oh wow, i loove the first one so much… feeling so inspired now!
the second annoys me. anyone who has the money can buy almost a whole look off the runway. however not anyone could manage to make such a fantastic Luella outfit NOT work. i am very disappointed; i absolutely adore the collection it is from.

The first one is a cool fashionable shot that I’ve come to expect from the sartorialist, but second picture is so unexpected and intriguing that I’m completely discombobulated by it.

Its pictures like these that makes you rethink fashion and personal style. Bravo!

I love love love the colors in the third photo. Wonderfully observed.

Love the way she used her black boots in her spring wardrobe. she’s got great legs to pull that skirt off as well.

Help! Who makes a great pair of “nerdy” glasses? LOVE them!

I absolutely love the girl with the striped skirt! She looks amazing. Love her outfit…

Oh girlfriend is workin’ it!
Twirl baby girl, for spring has arrived!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OUTFIT! Especially the contrast with the frills and her hair pulled back with the black frames.

The first girl looks like Jane Keltner, fashion news director
from Teen Vogue. The uncanny resemblance!

Nice outfit, stripes and trench

A children’s book character brought to life, once again.

There are two other guys, both in Le Marais, that would match her as a photo collection.

Funny and daring.

so cute! and i love the skirt on the second picture!

Yes, most definitely Luella– the print is the same.

It’s amazing how you can be not only one of the most talented photographers in the fashion industry with an indestructible way with creativity but also be ridiculously in tune with fashion. Your blog fascinates me, I know I have bothered you in the past with my humble 14 year old musings but as always, Bravo!
