post a commentThe woman in the second pic takes my breath away! Fabulous topped off ny the tilt of the hat!
Out-of-the-trunk (and the closet, too) fashion. Interesting that "dressing up" in this case means evoking styles past; were people also parading their newest duds, or has the show become a set-piece entirely?
Oh, fantastic! Now these folks know how to play dress up.
Great photos!
The lady is the second photo is just something else. I loved everything about her, especially the white tie and the fur detail on her coat.
oh my GOD!!
These pics are just the perfect examples for the 20's party of my work in may!!!
Thanks.
Great pictures.
the woman in the second pic looks fabulous. but today that look can only be "costume"... maybe without the hat it has more of a chance of not looking costume-y.
I don't think it's a set piece, per se. Rather, I think both of these pictures highlight the fact that these classic, iconic examples of style are light years from what men - and a lot of women - wear these days.
I'd like to see these folks walking down the street any day of the week. In a word - snazzy.
the woman in the second pic- gorgeous outfit. TOTALLY GORGEOUS.
oh how cool, wish we could do something like that in norway
LOVE LOVE LOVE the gal in the white pants, hat, tie combo. THIS is getting dressed up.
amazing photographs of these guys are becoming an easter tradition on the sartorialist! take a look at last year:
**michael aranella wore a seer-sucker suit & straw boater hat
(this year with pipe & taupe coat)
**roddy caravella wore a victorian tux (this year in an incredible grey bowler hat)
**roddy's girlfriend was breathtaking in ivory/ layered/ lace ensemble (this year even better in marlene deitrich-style ivory & black)
glad you caught them again this year! (i was cozy inside out of the...easter snow?!)
I believe in Gent on the right in the first photo in a leader of a swing band. We get our haircut by the same person at B&B.
They all look so retro and chic! They remind me of Katherine Hepburn in most of her movies.
I was at the same parade but all I saw (on my blog) were the bonnets with flowers and bunnies.
Great job! I love your eye for details.
this is the coolest thing ever...
Love these photos. The whole idea of an Easter parade is pretty retro, so why not play dress-up? They look like they're having fun.
I love their Great Gatsby look. The woman with the wide brimmed hat looks very Marc Jacobs from the most recent Fall collection.
I cannot help but to think of Fred Astaire and Julie Andrews in 'Easter Parade'!!
bravo, c'est pas facile a porter un pantalon blanc et qui plus est aussi large, mais elle le porte super bien !
oh my god! i'm in love! it's a wonderful set of pitures. the second one is inspiring! i just love white tousers, and that hat... very, very cool.
Beautiful clothes, beautiful people. Now kind of wish I could've gotten out there and caught sight of them. But cold is not my thing.
here, in my city, we celebrate a fair, the first weekend of May , and everybody here dress like in the 1900's...like in the modernism ....and as I see in this picture, there happen something similar! cool!
Really good photos! Have you ever visited Madrid? There they dress very traditional and with great taste.
Sart,
These hats have reminded me to ask if you have ever thought of going to the Kentucky Derby. You would have a field day there.
I would to thank you for your blog, it changed my vision of the fashion and the world. I showed it to some friends and they love your blog too.
Thanks for making me smile everyday :D
Costume-y, to be sure. But also seriously fun (and isn't that what fashion is all about - having a good time with your "look"?). When better than the NYC Easter Parade? I love these shots, Scott.

awesome
OMG! the second couple is so chic/awesome it doesnt seem real. Its like something you would see in a dream or movie. SO GOOD!
so fantastic
class knows no era
I've heard the song but didn't know that this was still a real-world event! Thanks!
Très charmant.
I am reading The Custom of the Country right now and these pics feel so much like a great Wharton novel!
Love the jaunty hats but the guy with the pipe takes the cake.
Wonderful pics.
the gloves, the GLOVES!
Oh god... Gorgeous.. Looking like those fabulous people in the old-time movies..
uh...
not to be snooty...but it's fred astaire and judy garland in easter parade.
(know! know! know! your 40's movie trivia!)
These are some classy costumes. How do you find these people?
Jen
I love the style and attitude dripping off them :D
Fabulous! I know a lot of people dislike intentionally anachronistic dress, but I'm a big fan. Everyone in these photos looks lovely.
they even posed like celebrity- Great shots!
NYC Easter Parade pics - the tradition of this blog that I wait the most! Please add more pics about this post - just like last year!
-VD-
This brought a smile to my face!
Its great to see New yorkers at easter celebrating with such style and what characters they are
Sart, is that you and your wife in the second photo?
This question of 'costume' comes up a lot, however, my take on it is that everything is 'costume'. We're all 'dressing up' or in a 'costume' every time we decide not to prance round naked!
Think that the clothes are amazing and at least a couple of the outfits offer me as much inspiration as anything I've seen here for a while. Love to see people making an effort.
It is very rare that an outfit forces me to take a sharp intake of breath at its sheer loveliness, but the lady in the second picture has acheived just that! Wow-ee! All the elements are just perfect, the bracelets, the collar, the tilt to her hat... I am quite speechless!
For Anon 7:46 am
no that is not me or my wife in the second photo
I would add more photos but because it was quite chilly not as many people were there as last year. It even snowed a little while I was shooting.
I did get contact info for this wonderful group of characters so I might shoot them again soon.
regarding "costume"
I get the sense that these particular people dress very close to this the majority of the time. For them it is not costume but a style chioce. I did see a lot of people playing "dress up" that day which I choose not to shoot.
S
The second photo is amazing - great stuff Scott!
I don't understand why people hate costumey fashion. Its so fun and impressive. Sort of like time travel without the time machine.
I want to meet these people! Absolutely perfect. I don't think this is costumey at all. A costume connotes taking on the identity or persona of another person. The beauty of these people (and Sart's skilled photography) is that you can tell that this is just THEM. As depressing yet INSPIRING as it may be (haha) there are actually people who look this amazing practically everyday. Bravo.
LOVE the hat! It makes me want to go to the Ascots...
Thanks to all of you for your nice words about our "duds" in the two beautiful Easter Parade photos that Scott shot and posted (I'm the guy in the white trenchcoat in the first pic). It's really great to find like-minded folks, fashion-wise, and the six of us in the photos are all fine friends who wouldn't miss this parade for the world. Presumptuously speaking for the six of us, reading all the positive comments here has been a real boost. It's so nice when you "follow your heart," fashion-wise, and others appreciate/"get" it, you know? Scott was correct when he said that most of the six of us choose to dress "of vintage" all the time...Easter Sunday is simply the day we "pull out all the stops".
To those of you who've never been to the parade, start planning now for the '08! It's really a singularly wonderful conflagration. There's a refreshingly relaxed feeling of "bonhomie". I think the biggest misconception is that this is a parade that includes floats and marching bands, or heaven forbid, clowns/mimes. Truth to tell, I'm from the Midwest, and floats and marching bands make me very, very nervous for some reason (not to even mention the clown/mime thing), and this is the only "parade" I ever go to. Fortunately, this parade is just a few thousand festive folk who gather to mill about and observe the [sometimes shocking] fashions of others. It seems in the past few years, there are fewer and fewer people who actually dress for the occasion...and in this era of "cellphone cameras," more "would-be-Scavullos". That's cool, too. I've lived in NYC a long time, and I love it when I'm incongruously over-dressed (especially on my bicycle, which is my main form of transportation in Manhattan, rain or shine) and have a shocked tourist take my photo, muttering in their native patois, "Honey, that man is biking in a tuxedo!" That's why I live here: A town where you can bike in a tuxedo...and the locals think not much of it...and maybe the non-locals will go back home and show their photos of NYC and say, "NYC knows how to dress!"
Again, thanks to all who made the kindly comments, and to Scott for this teriffic, informative site. I'm hopelessly addicted to The Sartorialist!
Best wishes,
Gregory

The lady in the second photo is just immaculate. Imagine how wonderful it would be to see this tailored look on the streets every day.
Enough exposed butt cheeks already - BOYS, PULL UP YOUR JEANS OR BUY A PAIR THAT FIT! The crotch really shouldn't be anywhere near the pavement.
Who started that anyway? Underwear designers right?
Old New York... :)
This is going to seem cheesy, but I wish I could grow up to be just like the couple in the second picture.
I met Roddy at the Vintage Fashion Expo here in SF last month. He mentioned the Easter Parade, now I see why! He looked great then, and now, and was very generous with his time.
I don't know if it's possible to convey the amount of time and effort required to put together such immaculate ensembles; finding vintage clothing in perfect condition is terribly difficult, then finding enough of it to make a few outfits takes YEARS of searching and lucky finds. My hats off to them all.
I limit my truly vintage clothes to motorcycle gear, and know how long it's taken me to get a decent selection in that very specific genre. The prospect of assembling a whole wardrobe inspires awe.
i feel like they could go to the Kentucky Derby years ago... love it!
I love it! class, style, and perfection! LOVE her pants his green trench. SO inviting!
Beautiful Pictures!
Its art like this that I love.
beautiful. there is something to be said for being this creative. and that thing is "bravo!"
the woman in the second photo is wearing that outfit like Cecilia Dean, which is saying something!
Spats!!!! Two-tone shoes.
Too cool. ; )
The man in the second picture is my uncle! And i'm damn proud that he is. He comes over for dinner in outfits such as this. It's a thrill to have them over and examine his and her outfits. They're classic and amazing.
For the record, this couple is the fabulously fashionable Gretchen Fenston and Roddy Caravella! Sophisticated and simply dazzling, Gretchen and her beau are a treasure to the vintage fashion world and all New Yorkers.
Classy as shit. I want to be the woman on the far right in the top photo.
Simply fine to the max! I want both of the women's hats, and several of the men. I want them to be my walkers!
Roddy always dresses on the mark with attention to detail. It didn't matter which car he decided to take out that day, it would have matched their outfits perfectly!
ooo too cool
FASCINATING!!!
BRAVO!!!
