Her skin tone and bone structure are amazing! I love how she is dressed so simply too, really shows off her beauty and doesn't take attention away from her face!
This photograph screams money and elegance to me (not that the two things go always well together). I remember a jeweller in Milan a few years ago complaining about this trend of women wearing big sport watches. "A woman's wrist is too small for the typical men's diving watch" he said. I like it on this lady tough.
It's a beautiful photo, beautiful subject. If only she weren't wearing that clunky man-style watch. When did women stop wearing those little dainty watches?
Fashion industry, the trend set and the people in it seem very fine, but Scott, the reason I started to follow your blog was that you posted shots of personal styles of commoners as well. The blog feels like any fashion magazine nowadays, especially during the fashion months. Saying things like this have gotten me in trouble in other blogs, but I hope you don't forget what made your blog unique.
Marvellous photo! And the subject herself is so simply elegant — I love the subtle play of the deep blue against the black and the understated strength of the jewelry.
So beautiful – with a face like that, I almost don't care about the clothes – that said, she is dressed very elegantly. And I love the rich blue of her trousers. Gorgeous woman.
I don't understand why one great picture of a generically great looking woman is posted and people have a fit over it. Yea, her outfit isn't over the top unique or great, but come on, this is an awesome shot of a cool looking gal. I also dig men's sport watches on the right type of girl.
The contrast of light and dark reminds me of Rembrandt's work–that's not hyperbolic. If Rembrandt had had access to a camera, this is what his portraits would havelooked like!
Love every single thing about this. She is just a woman with timeless elegance. I love the look on her face, sensuous. I love her clothing. I love her jewelry, even that big watch on her dainty wrist.
Not every photo on a fashion blog has to be of outrageous, unattainable outfits.
As for Specialward's comment…I'd much rather see a beautifully lit portrait of an attractive person than a shot of someone plain dressed like a clown :)
today, after a despicable morning, i wandered into a bookstore/coffee shopi and there next to the new valentino was your collection of art. it was the only copy on the shelf and looked as if it had been admired a few times over. honestly, the sight of your book and its worn binding made me truly smile. i ended up buying that very copy for knowing that very book uplifted others delights me. all inspired, p.
ps this woman reminds me of your cover lady, ms. julie ragolia. :)
former model or just child of the rich and famous? she is beautiful thanks to good genes, the picture is wonderful thanks to your skills. As a inspiration of style, not so much.
It really is amazing how the shadows have created the perfect necklace. Look at her collarbone, and her broad shoulders, and long arms with elegant hands. With simple make-up, big hoops and what looks like a ponytail. A mens Omega watch and nothing else on her wrists. A wedding band and ring with nothing else on her fingers. And there in nobody around her, behind her, etc? At a fashion show? She's like a dream!
Amazing pic. Simple and so sophisticated. Love her watch on beautiful arms agains deep blue color. Want a similar watch? Please advise which brands to look at. Thanks in advance.
All that femininity is giving me heart palpitations. Even the shadows are paying their respects with a gorgeous triumvirate of moody apparitions caressing her neck.
Omega mid sized mens watch, brilliant! Something as simple as that, along with a few other clearly made decisions evidenced in this portrait, shows her style is on another level. To be this beautiful and possess an understated style, that's how it should be done.
I take it to mean, see not every beauty uses PR and is dressed by the designer and plopped down in row one. This is a girl that clearly could have that happen for her and yet she sits in row two looking elegant and timeless.
who cares about fashion so much when she is hot like this? fashion is but clothes thrown on, a disguise. this woman can throw on a mcdonald's outfit and she would probably shine and people would look at her and say "damn!!!"
It's a perfect magazine cover. I can see her head peaking over the title, w/plenty of space for content information on the side. It would JUMP off the shelves.
The dark background brings the focus to the subject with such an impact! Her brown skin looks so luminous and her black hair and black singlet blend into the darkness bringing her forward more. This looks like a high fashion shoot.

To the person who accused this lady here of not having beautiful style. I wonder where you get your definition of style?
Personally, over the top Balenciaga shoes and bags, poofy skirts and shoulder pads are as obscene as powdered wigs and crinoline skirts.
If you agree that fashion is art, this photo is definitely art, and by implication- very fashionable.
