The Sartorialist

WOW! Tolle Frisur tolle Augen und tolle Frau! ;)

I wish I could pull off a hair like that! xx

She is gorgeous – for all the reasons you stated. Perfect combination of tough/soft, rough/smooth, masculine/feminine and punk/elegant. Either look without the other would be a yawn.

I love it

sorry but i don´t like her style at all…
come to munich again, we can do better than that in germany :)

how daring of her to actually shave in the middle.

This picture made me think of the Middle Age fashion of shaving off women's eyebrows and hair above the forehead.

yes, bien joué.

I adore how she mixes feminine and masculine. She looks interesting and fun!

Definitely a brave look, I prefer the clipped hair underneath the long hair on top… but I lean to that old school punk look. Unique though!

She's also got those cat like eyes that make her hair cut more appealing and well pulled off. Plus I love her big cheekbones.

I love your observations, Scott. I know this forum is a lot about what we think, but when you write I learn so much from you.

i disagree. she should have stopped at the eyebrows

Wow it sure takes a lot of guts to do that to your hair. Well played indeed. (:

Kuznetsky, I believe, is the name if the shop – not her.

And there are women like that in the States.

She is entrancing.

I actually think a really bold eyebrow would look fabulous with this. I love her hair.

Not exactly a look I'm crazy about, but I really admire that you feature looks on your blog that are not necessarily "pretty." You have a very open-mind, and it's wonderful :-).

I love the risks women take with their hair these days. Whether it be shaving just part of their heads or going white/gray.

By the way, Snejana (I believe it's her name; I'm from Russia) doesn't mean Snowflake :) It means cold, white as snow :)

Yes, i believe her name is Snejana. I am not sure I like her look but definitely she is brave and a character girl with lots of self confidence.

Beautiful photo. Beautiful girl.

She is very striking. I think she would be with or without the shaved bit on her head.

Isn't it interesting how much of a statement shaving your hair is for a woman. Fascinating.

the victorians believed big foreheads were sexy and showed that a woman was smart.
they plucked their eyebrows ultra thin, and shaved part of their forehead similarly, to emphasize their foreheads.
also, the men wore heels, not the women.

i love it. if i could rock a look like that, i totally would. i'm not gutsy enough. not self assured [yet] enough.

"Well played young lady."
Awe. Such a nice compliment!
Such attention to detail. There
is something cool about noticing
eyebrows, the people who notice
eyebrows. Snowflake? I think the
only other suitable name for her
would be Wolf.

This is my favorite photo in a long time. Stricking, different, captivating and beautiful. She stands out.

love it, very unique!!

I love it, and admire Scott's attention to detail. Only I find that the bangs on the right side of her head are a distraction…I'd like to see it with just the long hair.

i love how you noticed such details on her!! her hair is really unique.

stoll over at my blog too!

her hair is distrubing…in a good way?

It's an interesting idea but I don't think it works for her because her face looks rather washed out. I'd use some makeup if I were her and/or brighten up her hair color.
I like a "punk twist" on some girls, but I've noticed that it works only if a girl is naturally gorgeous or if she's weird, for lack of a better word (i.e. not conventionally beautiful but has interesting, eye-catching looks). This girl, I think, is just bland even with this haircut.

Just the right amount of edge! LOVE it.

Fantastic. Her picture makes me wonder what she sounds like. I imagine a russian Deitrich.

Scott, that's just a brilliant observation about the haircut and the eyebrows and their dependence on each other for the look to be just right. I completely agree and I don't think I would have noticed had you not said anything! But I definitely see it now and it just makes the photo all the more beautiful

I like the girls hair, but I would never have ventured on this!
she is beautiful

delicate deconstruction
to porcelain punk perfection

I like it that you're into details.

Ehhh… I don't know how to feel about this.

La Stylin Girraffe!

i think punk is definitely more dominant in the mainstream fashion in russia than it is in other countries… what I find interesting is that Kuznetskiy most is the uber-rich, "if-you-have-to-ask-you-cant-afford" it shopping area.. and also happens to be full of cookie-cutter haute couture fashionistas. So you found this young lady there..does that mean that the Moscow meangirls are finally becoming more accepting of style (style beyond fashionTV that is :)??

This picture made me jump when I first saw it. I had brain surgery two and a half years ago, and that is pretty much what my hair looked like afterwards, only with more gone and a huge scar. I appreciate you showing this photo…after my surgery, a lot of people commented on how terrible it was to have lost all that hair–but as you noticed, unconventional does not mean ugly.

Snegurochka would be the name then, Kuznetzky most 20 is the address btw.
furthermore a being with that name accompanies the russian santa claus – daddy frost!

i like those stories a lot, reminds me of when i was a kid

She's Black & she's beautiful. Thus the tongue & cheek snowflake ref. This from one who is so- called 'racially ambiguous' while Black.

Wonderful! She could be The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

She look romantic and sensitive.
Lilou

Dang, that's cool. And you're right–the combination of hairline and brows make her features absolutely arresting.

she's fierce, but captivatingly gentle…. I normally think it's corny to describe people with oxymorons but she demonstrates such a breathtaking juxtaposition of spiky and soft.

I think many of you are over-analyzing this. About the style: it's not nice. It looks a bit asymmetric.

true individual hair style. don't have many of those nowadays.

It's young women like this that make older men think young again. Sometimes for the better and sometimes… Either way, she's beautiful. Thank you for seeing beyond the expected. SIncerely, Mr. Black
