The Sartorialist

The best thing about this look is her dazzling smile. It’s great to see an older lady who hasn’t dissolved into invisibility and is so obviously loving her life. I’m sure the shoes are very comfortable but I don’t really like them though.

Something I really appreciate about this woman is that, unlike sooooo many US/French fashion editors and fashionistas, Ms. Sozzani always looks chic, put together and fashionable, but also natural, comfortable and breezy. Fashion does not seem to be an armour, or a uniform, or a slick package for her, but a way to have fun and feel attractive. I find her a compelling muse as well as a fabulous role model for the over-thought, over-wrought, over-dressed set.

geee,woow…I wish MY grandma had legs like that. Btw, the outfit looks fab.

i want the top and the flats!

i would pay cash to see her hop on that vespa and speed off, cartoon style.

I saw a picture of her for the first time several years ago and saved it in my “inspiration for when I’m older” folder. I love the way she looks, and I love that she radiates interestingness (I also love that she admitted in an interview that she can’t walk in high heels).

beladona!

Yay for being older and daring to be different! Great dress! Love that length of sleeve, and the eyelet detail down the front is really pretty.

I adore the Sozannis.
They always look graceful, beautiful, timeless, “now”, perfect.
And there are always echoes of past generations in everything they wear and in the way they carry themselves.
I love them. Well, not like I love my dog, say, but if I have a celebrity crush, well they are it.

Great until you get down to those – yikes! – black socks.

She has such a great style! I allways love her look!

chrissakes can ppl stop going on about her age?

absolutely gorgeous, in this instance socks and sandals are an inspiration. perfect street cool, happi, your thoughts are spot on.

she has a dazzling smile.

OH i remember seeing her when I was at 10 Corso Como during the winter!
that store is so unique and their cafe is exceptional!

I really enjoy how her personality breathes life into the dress. Not very many people smile the way she does :D

Her great smile makes the intricate and beautifully constructed dress even more beautiful!

God- I just can’t stop staring at the pleats and details of the dress!

you know what? I like the handbag. And the smile.

Very beautiful, tres cool!

I almost thought: I love her style, but I don’t like the dress. Then I looked again–I really love that dress. And her. She is cute!

I love this Alaia dress on her, aproachable and sophisticated at the same time..a bit tired of those Barbie looking, plastic surgery obssesed Alaia fans featured on magazines, this is elegance!

Dear Sart,

I noticed that this is the same dress miss Mirochka is wearing. I find it fascinating how two people are able to wear one dress so differently, but with the same sense of style!
I always appreciate your work!

Keep up that good work during your tour!

Thank you Sart

sarà anche la Sozzani, avrà classe……….ma non dite bella, perchè le belle la prendono a male!!
Poi, che il carattere valga più della bellezza esteriore priva di contenuto, è altra cosa ancora, e la Sozzani ha carattere da vendere.
