I am very curious to see Diane Pernet as well....I never know what to think of her, although I always appreciate her coverage of new designers. [:^)]</P>
...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.
please dont tempt me, it might be the first panel discussion throw down in met history. god, that guy makes my blood boil. from today, and i might have to start a Sart comments thread.</p>
I love the fact that I have been able to use some of the "real people"
I have met while doing this blog for recent advertising jobs I have
shot lately.
This is Julie, you might recognize her from the Absolut ad to your left.
Julie
doesn't have a huge or expensive wardrobe. Most of her items would be
in the price range of the average reader of this blog and I bet a very
large percentage of her wardrobe is vintage or second-hand pieces.
What Julie does very well is find the right, dramatic pieces that really pull the whole look together.
The
look above is not about any designer items but all about her great use
of color(the beret is perfect) and the silhouette that she creates with
those wide-legged jeans. Julie is actually very tiny, maybe 5'1" but
she creates a very long line with those jeans, doesn't she?
These are the kind of images and inspiration that I am most proud of posting on The Sartorialist
</p>
One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.
Clothes, fashion, whatever aside (which still look great), this
is an amazing picture. It reminds me of fairytale animations, '50s
musicals and a tender aria from a grand opera, all rolled into one.
Truly beautiful.</p>

The 1001 nights! She looks like I always imagined princess Sherezade would look. This picture pours romance!
She?s
the beautiful girl in black in the March 13th post, isn?t she? What a
coincidence that you came across her during the night in a big city
like Delhi or were you taking her out for dinner? :-)</p>

OH.MY.GOD.
Scott, you just keep getting better and better. This picture makes me ache!
The
colours, the outfit, the lighting. It's pictures like these that show
you're not just sartorialist, you're a deeply talented photographer.</p>

This looks really artificial. The background colour, the light shades, her clothes and her posture...awesome!!</p>

harmonious whole?</p>

Oh my god!
What a beautiful picture! It's completely magical, the lighting is just magnificent, it's perfect, almost like in a play.
The
subject is great as well! The way her face is tilted, and the hands,
oh, I just can't stop swooning over this picture. She's a beautiful
lady, I love both pictures you've posted of her.</p>

This is operatic. I'm utterly convinced she's waiting for her cue for the beginning of the aria.
The
dark cobalt sky, the sepia light that matches her wrap, and the vivid
purple of the foregrounded flowers, which should by all rights be
reading brown in light this dim--quite amazing.</p>
<p class="comment-timestamp">9:56 AM</p>
get outta here! this picture is staged is it?! it looks just
like a show set. why are you always so lucky (and talented) to capture
these amazing outfits in teh perfect scenes? look at those flowers,
that sky, that building and of course the lighting illuminating that
girl's lovely face!! WHYY!!</p>

As someone said earlier, "Oh My God"! The lighting, her face,

Gorgeous. It's just as beautiful as her other picture, but in an entirely different way. This shot is genius!</p>
<p class="comment-timestamp">11:40 AM</p>
The photo looks almost like something out of a movie set. The
building in the background matches her shawl while the flowers in front
parallel the violet in her dress. The pattern on patter with the
geometric diamonds give it all a very unifying theme. Her neck looks
very regal. Well done!</p>

This photograph carries the graceful colours and sculptural
qualities that you would have found during Renaissance! This photograph
is absolutely outstanding.</p>
<p class="comment-timestamp">12:02 PM</p>
You've captured my favorite moment, that dark blue of the
evening sky. The contrast between the sharp focus on her and the soft
focus of her surroundings does look like set lighting, but it also
reminds me of some portrait paintings I've just seen, in which the
effect is to lead the eye to the face. It also makes me think some 18th
century Japanese paintings I just saw, where the details of the fabrics
and the graceful curve of the pose are as important as the whole.
Such an arresting, magical image!</p>

first, she looks amazing (the same girl from before, right?)...her shoes are incredible and I love the mixing of patterns.
the
best part about this picture though is the lighting. it almost looks
like a painting because it's so perfect. the dark background against
her bright dress....and the splash of color with the flowers...just
unbelievable. what an incedible shot! how did you do it???</p>

she looks serene and beautiful.
I would like to congratulate
you Sart on your wonderful site and these fantastic photos of New
Dehli. India is so vivid in colour and it goes to show that even in
poverty, one does not need to be covered in designer clothing to look
fantastic.
I'm really enjoying your Delhi pics. The Indian culture is so
full of life and color and the people bring such a vibrancy to the
photos through their clothes. I'm enjoying them more than the chic-ness
of Paris, Milan, and NYC because of the lack of color- Western cultures
are so conservative! Kudos, my friend and keep them coming!</p>

Re: possible Sart comments only thread? yeh or neh? can update daily, mucho entertainment
yeah, that was possibly the most sycophantic set of comments ever, and it's predictable that they erupted after a very "pretty" picture. </P>
On the other hand, did you notice the comments under his first New Delhi shot--"World Class Style from New Delhi, India"-- which resulted in an equally predictable outcry of political correctness? He didn't edit out the "negative" stuff there....</P>
The last thing I want to do on this trip to India is water-down my eye and take a lot of touristy "exotic" pictures.
I'm sure I will take some pictures of "great color" blah, blah but I am really happy that so far I have found looks that I would shoot whether I was in NYC or Milan or anywhere.
This young lady , for example, is as cool as any young lady I have ever met in Manhattan.
The real genius behind this look is that she is very petite, (maybe) 5' 2" and yet her long dress actually real lengthens her entire frame. The sleevelessness is a huge factor in pulling this off. </P>
