The Sartorialist

This picture is quite creepy.The woman is so fragile and it is impossible to guess her age. So many questions arise,questions left without answers…

i bet she has a flickr account. scott, can you ask her where she uploads her photos?

She’s become quite a star on the fashion blogs. Has anyone found out who she is? I want her to be my best friend.

I dig it…adore the boots. Anyone who tries and succeeds at pulling off two-toned shoes have my vote. She’s definitely got her fashion mojo workin’.

That handbag is extra nice (croc Birkin?) and I don’t even go for these huge bags that are popular now, esp. on someone as small as she is, but she’s managed to pull that one off too.

Beautiful!
The tights and shoes are so unexpected.

Is that a medium-format Mamiya she’s holding? LOVE!

I love the lack of jewelry – she has a dramatic haircut, dramatic bag, dramatic clothes – but it all works together. I think the lack of jewelry or anything too “shiny” really adds to her look. She’s someone who has the confidence and know-how to pull off something that would overwhelm most others.

Love her hair and those shoes!! Who makes the shoes?

knew i had seen her before!

and here

the camera’s the same across two pictures as well as the shoes… she’s so interesting to look at. is she present online somewhere with a blog/photo account?

Wow, those tights and those shoes, gorgeous.

I love this outfit! The leggings are great! Well done!

LOVE the style of this. Those boots. I want them!

Yet another question about the girl’s clothing, but does anyone know who makes/made the boots she wearing?

i really love the way she dresses from photograph to photograph. she has such distinct style, but without being flamboyantly over-the-top.

she is sooo fun!
This woman is one stylish individual.
Again and again she looks unique and so charming.

She has a sort of waifish quality, but she is most definitely not a girl. That’s a fully grown woman, without a doubt.
Interesting shoes.

She’s wearing heels and looking sad. Does she have a collection of photos of you somewhere? She has clearly such personality. I want to see her work too.

I was about to write something defending her look against the inevitable critics, but why bother? This girl just rocks.

Sart, you MUST tell us who she is.

those shoes are amazing. where where WHERE can i find them?

ahh- the suspense!! Who is she? Oh please tell us!

I love that the camera looks so big in her tiny hands, and her haircut. It is so simple and dramatic at the same time!

She’s so stylish and lovely I don’t mind seeing her everywhere, hurrah!

i love this girl! really burning to know who she is ^^

Love the dress, but would rather put black stockins, they would highlight better the drama of the shoes.

I seem to remember someone calling her Audrey.

too cool for school! love this girl’s look!

Tried Google…got as far as Fruits Magazine(Japan). No sign of this mysterious Rei…please help,Sart!

her boots are amazing!!

if anyone ever finds out where her boots are from, i would love to know!

woman #1 = stunning

i need those giant pants

those shoes are so nice…

I was wondering if maybe she was your wife, since you take photos of her around the world, and because her fashion sense is so distinctive. Oh, wait, you did publish photos of your family some time ago, didn’t you?

funky tights!

I’ll second the comment that she is holding a Fuji Ga645. Looks really close to the one I have, but hard to tell for sure from that angle. -h

Well, Sartorialist, most of the time, I’m torn in two between irritation and excitement. I guess your charm lies on that ambiguity = conformism vs obsession, reactionary tastes vs individual fantasy… I look at your blog every day and adore it.
Today, I find that girl creepy. So conform her own sophisticated way. The deadpan face, the perfectly right camera (who does really shoot in 120 nowadays and has the films processed? Not even to mention the necessary skills)… Hmm, no, fashion isn’t that nice today.
No doubt that tomorow, I will adore your next actors/actresses.
Amitiés, though.

Thanks for the infos, Ginjin 3 : I shoot 120 every day.
As an accessory, the Fuji seems to me a bit too posh and predictable.

those shoes and leggings..i want to know who she is! i can’t even guess her age. the outfit is so childish yet sophisticated.

i am asian too, and it’s one of those photos which make me go, ‘i’ll so wear what she’s wearing.’

She is a phototrapher & model.
You can find her by googling “REI SHITO”. She is 30 years old.
She is based in Tokyo working for Fruits Magazaine. Very sweet and smart girl. You can see her work at Japanese bookstore “kinokuniya” and look for FRUITS, STREET magazine.

She is a famous fashion blogger in Japan.
The blog called "style from tokyo".
