The Sartorialist

Incredible combination of color and style. The mismatched socks and the hat do it for me!

I'd love to be joining her!

Too much going on from a sartorial perspective, but the typical Parisian café furniture makes this pic a French classic. The modern Robert Doisneau?

Precious!

love the leather shoes and the bright blazer, wish i was her squeezing myself in at that little wonderful table

Killer outfit

I love this! Whenever I go to Paris I always try to dress like Oscar Wilde. I mean, you're in Paris, right? And the mismatched socks are a great accent.

Wonderful use of clashing patterns. Love the odd socks.

She's so bohemian, love it.

WOW! i'm really in love with an outfit…

Ah the French, they know so much about the art of chic. Love this shot!

She's so bohemian, love it.

I love this too. Everything about it. Especially her scarf and the way her hat is perched on her head so insouciantly.

Odd socks – Amazing! We love – Breath of fresh air!

Only in Paris…can a look like this be appreciated, be accommodated, be understood. That's the beauty, the seduction of Paris.

me encanta la foto

Been a lurker for long, this photo forces me to leave a comment – wow!

The men of paris are not that Sartorial, but this woman is trying to show the men how to dress well.

Cool photo .

This is perfection! I'd love to switch with her. Beautiful.

Hatter!:)
great set.

WOW! Everything is so good on this photo! The scene is luminous and elegant. She's gorgeous and stylish. It's amazing how it all fits together. What a pretty sight! Congratulations on this one. The best ever :D

Such a richly personal look, especially the worn, weathered leather shoes and messenger bag; she's clearly been loving them a while and they've got patina. The navy fedora is a unique topper, and that scarf! Also dig the mismatched-color but coordinating-patterned argyle socks.

It's like she took the classics and tilted them sideways. Neat.

I really adore this outfit, it's one of the best I've seen in a while! I'm going to Paris next week and this picture has made me all excited!

Ah la la! Tout simplement… magnifique.

Everything about this is just so right. She put all the colors together so well and carries them off even better. Love it!

The colors of this picture make me happy! I love her messy hair and all the rest!

The shoes and the bag seems not to fit in really, everything else is bright and newish looking, really funky and stylish. The shoes and bag just too much of a mess for me. BYT the salad is very well dressed!

I love her.

She is a master! I <3

she rocks! I don't know how she could manage to mix all those patterns and colours and still look stylish!

bohemian chic. love it!

I love everything from hat to shoes :)

Viva La Vie Boheme…. Very cute.

I don't think she is trying too hard…like the guy a couple weeks ago who had everything but the kitchen sink in his jacket pocket. This is just boho enough! Love it!

This is the coolest picture ever… it makes me want to be a Parisian. Thank you for all the great photos.

The Mad Hatter.

i need that hat!!! love the socks, shoies, scarf, bag…everything

http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/

oh, I wish I could wear these…

Every detail is perfect! Adorable!

I also think she's trying too hard.
I like the top part of the outfit and the bottom part of the outfit on their own, but together it's too much. And I don't like her scarf. It's too bulky.

It's such a cute and quirky outfit – it makes me happy :-)

Reminds me of someone you might encounter in the Hudson Valley region of NY, Woodstock, Newburgh, Purchase, too…that little sparkler in one's day, the artist out and about in town.

breathtaking.
so eclectic.
full of inner harmonny though.

I wish i looked as beautiful as this…elegant but cool, beautiful but interesting. Instead i am clumsy and messsy and the opposite of elegant!

I LOVE this. Instant favorite. Thank you!

She is NOT trying too hard.She is asserting her individuality and weltanshaaung against the creatures of the commonplace. Oscar Wilde would be delighted. And I am.

This blog is like 90% women now. Bring back the men's fashion shots.

She's so cool!

I love the colors, the patterns, the hat, the shoes, the socks, the scarf….
Also some observations, as an American living in France:
She is sitting outside, when it is devilishly cold in Paris, the only reason to do so being that one is an inveterate smoker who cannot finish a salad without a cigarette.
She has a coffee at the same time as her salad, which means she is not French (one does not drink coffee with food, but after).
If she is indeed the artist Tracy Emin, then she looks incredibly good for her age. Kudos for that.

Love the shoes and the two different socks…aaah she looks so cool, the mixture of style and pattern <3

I just LOVE her unpretentious elegance …So original and unique! Hard things to find these days..

I want to say she looks like a disheveled mess, but it's so french, and so chic, and somehow works!

Love the hair and the hat! =D

honestly this picture/outfit could not get any more perfect!

The contrast between navy blue and vibrant red is very effective. And the messy hair… everything works!

Looks like a mime. Id like to be sitting Paris eating lunch tho.

Oh my. This is perfect.

awesome photo!

Great taste! Seems a very nice and interesting woman :) I have those rose-thights somewhere in my cupboard and will wear them tomorrow!

how cool is she! love the dishevelled hair

she's trying way too hard.. struggling with her hat about to fall..and the magazine…but her mise en scene is nice..

Sart, I have to say this is a fantastic shot. I don't frequent your blog to see technical photography. Instead, I view to see creative people pushing boundaries without looking foolish. This woman's style stands out and is definitely avant-fashion to me. The socks don't match, the shoes are missing laces. It's all over the place, yet it works. That is, the outfit is something being worn by a regular person on street that gives one insight about the person's personality – not some fashion insider wearing something outrageous.

great great photo.

every girl should aspire to have this moment in her sartorial life, and life in general. i feel this. love it. love it! i want to have lunch with her. or maybe hope my daughter someday has a moment like this. so perfectly gamine. i condone it. love it.

so beautifully captured =)

Love how everything is so perfectly imperfect. The tossed aside bag, the magazine insert below. Diving in. It's divine.

What about the fact that she's wearing a red blazer? I haven't seen a red blazer in years.

i love how this outfit is a little scattered. just as the magazine and the pamphlet that has fallen out.
to her handbag on the ground.
very cute and fun.

so cute!

This chic is awesome. I'm very inspired by her look.

beautiful!! love it!

What fun!!

love. love. love this pict!

great picture!

the colors, the outfit…it's quintessential Paris. Wish I was there…

http://www.stylaholic.com/Stylaholic/Blog/Blog.html

I would agree. Trying to hard.

The combination is quirky! Adorable! Love the red jacket, it kinda made the other accessories pop. Mad Hatter-ish???

Crazy yet wonderful!

reminds me of tim burton's mad hatter

This is not Tracy Emin, Tracy is 46-47 years old, this woman max 35.
Yeah she looks lovely, even if I don't like worn out shoes.

Just a solid picture. That girl is truly unique. I like how she mixes indigenous culture pattern with such a modern look. Very nice. The bag on the ground is a perfect book bag. Vintage?

absolutely in love with the socks and the shoes. she makes me feel a bit more stylish for resorting to wearing mismatched socks from lack of doing laundry.

this has to be one of my favorites! so much going on but so well put together.

and yes, i agree she reminds me of mad-hatter.

GENIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, me encanta el sombrero..

Wow, I like everything…J'adoooore !

She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool. Love this picture.

Brillaint shot – style and food…what more do you need?!

But isn't it Julia Roberts, really?
So cute and cheerful. Lovely photo.

the colors are great , love everythg in this pic specially the hat ,

http://darkbohemiia.blogspot.com/

just beautiful! great colours – great picture in general!

I am in love with this!
I just want to go to Paris right now and have lunch in a beautiful café. Her hat is PERFECT!

http://lhabitue.blogspot.com/

Wow! I wanna be she just for a minute… Fantastic pic!

Figured it out, this must be young Julia Roberts!
Or a contemporary Julia Roberts for that matter.
This could be mrs Roberts even at her age today, if she would get away with not being recognised.
Maybe this is her camouflage – an expression of her spirit.

I love this mix of clothes so much. Joie-de-vivre through and through.

This kind of person ( so nice, colored and naif ) couldn't being found in Italy! she is a hymn to the joy of living. Great shot, great Paris.

This is a really inventive look! but I am sure you know that "artist" is going too far – real creators do not need to advertise that much.

Great find, Sart. However, this young woman is obviously English–NOT French. No Frenchwoman would be caught dead in this kind of outfit.

Amazing. And love how arty she eats and sit.

ooo My she looks great! I also love the photo!

looks like the perfect way to spend an afternoon…
how many different patterns is she wearing? I love it. especially the tights.

I don't care whether she is French, British or American, she is happy!

She looks just like the mad hatter! Oh, this is love! I adore the quirky mis-matching of socks, the colorful decoration of the scarf, the persimmon red blazer, and of course the hat! It adds so much.

"The Artist Lunch"??? Excuse me sir, but the true artist lunch is ramen noodles and discounted produce. Let's not romanticize things TOO much.

Sweet and exuberant. But the hat does not fit; it's too small for her, and thus makes her look like she does not really know hats but figures a hat equals fashion so, OK, she'll wear a hat. Maybe this means she "tries too hard," but I applaud the risk of trying too hard, which is more honest than pretending you haven't tried at all.

Looks like she dressed in the dark, but I WANT her hat.

love the colors

love love the scarf pattern.

after i got ur book, i started to look at yout work differently, your gentle comments, and beautifull little stories about people you shoot melted my heart.
I am really happy for u , even i dont know u, cause it seems u love what u do, keep on going!
and let people express what they are! great mish mash style, and i miss women in hats. Too litle of them in Poland!

The shoes, mis-matched socks, overdone knot on scarf…trying WAY to hard!

So Parisian ! I love it. And I like her shoes… But where do people find such nice shoes ? I wish I new… Me I can find any thing of this kind, even in vintage clothes shops or ebay (for reasonable prices).

so cute!

mon dieu…i miss paris…

i think this girl is english, for sure not french…. there is too much color in her outfit, plus an english eccentricity in the way she mixes patterns and colours… in paris only the foreigners know how to do that, french people are scare of colors, yes…. they are so into black…..

i cant stop staring!!! amazing :))))

Jolies couleurs !
Elle me rappelle Pauline L. que j'ai connu pendant mes études et qui fait maintenant le beau temps sur Canal…

No fashion, no style, but a statement on the joy of life and warm clothing!

She's perfect.

I love the mismatched socks with the loafers. Actually, I love all of the masculine elements made feminine. The red jacket, the hat. It's all perfect. I wonder what her entire wardrobe looks like.

http://lesadventuresdulorax.blogspot.com

This is the kind of shot that makes me realize why I come here everyday: you've got the best eye ever ! :)

Lovely, lovely photo.

this girl and extraordinary

jealous! love the style…!

Just perfect!

pretty inspiring

me encanta! es hermosa

I love her jacket, scarf, & hat. shes a woman of good taste. Plus her salad looks good!

http://letyourstylespeak.com/

from the hat to the mismatched socks i love this!

Who can identify these shoes for me??

http://thefemaledandy.wordpress.com

This is really beautiful. What a great outfit and setting!

Not quite sure why people are gushing over this outfit. Its kinda homeless to me. Especially that scarf, looks like a used rug, and her shoes look like my grandpa's shoes.

Everything about this shot is incredible. The outfit, the setting, the colour. Perfect.

Fantastic. Mad-Hatter chic.

She is awesome! Very funny look)

I like her style, but seriously when I first saw the picture I thought it was Johnny Depp in his Alice in Wonderland garb…sorry.

oh my god! I'm fan! so fashion, so artist.
I like how the magazine is on the chait and the bag at the floor!

http://leblogdemasha.blogspot.com/

She looks so playful in the shot. Also, the combination of the scarve and the pants create a mood that is only perpetuated by that fabulous jacket. It all works brilliantly. Ahh…I wish I was able to sit at an outside table at my favorite bistro on Rue De Castiglione everyday and enjoy that meal!

That woman is Pauline Lefèvre.

She presents daily weather forecasts during a trendy-popular show named "Le Grand Journal" on french network "Canal+".

De rien,
Bises Parisiennes

What a gorgeous girl! Love her tights

Almost cute, but trying toooooo hard…

I dunno. judging by the number of "typically Paris" comments, the look's not "bohemian" but rather "I guess them bohemians look that way" ))

also, I think it's too nice and Amelie and "the french art of chic", whatever.

soo parisian! Brasserie lunch!
this remember me how much i love my city!

This outfit excites me as does the whole photo. Her beautiful face adds that element of clean structure.

I want that bag and those shoes though!

I want to be this girl! Love it all!

i'm obsessed with this photo too…it's perfect! she looks like liv tyler. who is it???

ugh, amazing!! Love the mismatched socks.

Fantastic photo! It causes that I immedietly want to seat at the table somewhere in Paris and look at people passing by

Amazing! I love her!

catching up on blogs, love her look, reminds me a little of what I have on today! Love It!

What a beautiful woman. I love her unabashed use of color. Her Fedora is her crowing glory. Her very worn shoes are some how regal, she can pull anything off!
And look at her messenger bag lying there in the background, fantastic!

oh to be…!

She looks like Julia Roberts :)

would love some more pics of her. im sure you got some.

Wow, this is incredible. It really makes me want to update my wardrobe. Who is she?
