Yes, I love this Prada coat! It is so cool!
I have never seen anything like it. This woman also looks so great in this picture. http://untrucoudeux.wordpress.com/
When I grow older, I want to look as stylish as this special lady! Really…
Molto bravo once again Sart!
P.s I bought your first book not long ago and I realized what a great storyteller you are- through your lense of course! Each picture, a unique character, a fantastical journey into the tales of fashion. Thank you for this!
I also applaud her, though I think the shoes look clownish, and purposely so. That said, I don’t think women of lesser means, whose every article of clothing is not designer, who do not have careers as stylists or reputations as fashion stars, would get much adulation for emulating her look.
what a woman of style! i love it. i will have to google image some shots of her to see what else she wears. i’m inspired to keep dressing uniquely as i get older when i look at women such as this. thanks.
She is fabulous! As a woman of certain age myself, I’m always delighted to see an older person with great style on your blog. The fact that you don’t just shoot 20 year olds is something I’ve always appreciated! Great work!
OMG! I could not believe my eyes! Only Manuela can pull off such style. But have to admit it took me by total surprise reading her name. Time do pass by for every one!
Those are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen in my life. Yes, I know they are Prada, but come on! There is so much about Prada recently that I would describe as frumpy. If it works, it only works because you know it’s Prada.
I love her reflection in the window, the beaded embellishments on the front of her tunic that look like jewelry, her earrings, and her graceful pose. Her shoes look cool and comfortable to walk in.
Wow! What a fantastic photo! Great to see you taking an older woman! Love her style! Even though the shoes make her feet look huge They still look amazing! Love the green bag in the window too!
Brave lady! What’s style without taking some risks? Would have loved it if she went a brighter coloured headband and smarter looking shoes. Find they almost orthopedic, Prada or not! It’s a fine line between fashionista and cleaning lady…I’m just sayin’!
The lady knows best:to keep things in proportion ,the rich texture and elaborate embroidery on the sleeveless coat need to be matched with a sturdy, hefty shoe; in this case, a chic sensible shoe.
What a stylish woman. I love the mix of the sweater with the rain boots. No one else is walking around Milan in that exact outfit. And that’s the best part.
Oh great Lord! Even grandmas are on fashion this time round. Bravo to such a beautiful outfit. I just love the shoes and the dress; looks pretty on her indeed!
I don’t understand why everybody refuses to see the reality of this style just because it’s Prada. It’s a cleaning lady look and you can buy this outfit for 15 Euro in any hardware store around Europe. Moreover you will find tons of women looking like this in Milan, you just don’t look at them because they are working in the cleaning business.
She is beautiful but this is a horrible and wrong fashion victim look.
