post a commentLike if Aitor Throup replaced his facination in grey hoolgianism with vibrant femininity. Love it.
loving those violet legs and shoes (and hint of blouse too)
I think everything about this look is perfect! I really love the jolts of color.
Wow. I kinda love her!
whoa!
fabulous tights!
the handbag is a little too much, though...
she already has a stunning ensemble with this jacket.
I really had to blink my eyes twice before I believed them. Hmmm...interesting...don't know what else to say. (But actually love the colour of her thights).
I had to blink my eyes twice before I believed them! ...Interesting...don't know what else to say. I love the colour of her thights though.
I like her bag and her tights. She looks so happy, too.
i'm just shocked that someone actually purchased this item! i admired the look on the runway, but it takes guts to take it to the street! i don't love it, but i salute her.
This is just too much.Don´t like her outfit at all.Bad taste.Where on earth did you find her? Does she really like the outfit herself? She looks so sensible that it´s hard to believe she´d actually chosen something like this to wear deliberately.
k, i am ALL FOR creativity and double-take fashion, but extra body parts, particularly hands creeping up toward her neck.. well i just don't know. i appreciate the whimsy, and she clearly has taste. her skirt is really fab, and her color choices are stellar. she really is cute as a button. but does she stick her hands in when they get cold?? how odd would it be to notice someone next to you with an odd stance, only to see her remove her hands and her gloves stay put? call it a bad case of static cling. mr. sart, you truly are blessed that all your hard work pays off so readily.
wow this jacket! love it
Very interesting!
hahaha, that's stylish AND scary....
the hands are interesting, but what impresses me most is the brilliant matching of purple tights to purple shoes.
awesome picture! She's rocking the purple tights and the hands are confusing but funny
very unique. i would've missed it if i hadn't clicked on the photo for an enlargement.
Great! Love the hem of the skirt and the haircut. Apart from the jacket, and the great shoes.
Her humorous, whimsical expression reminds me of Audrey Tatou in Amelie.
It took me awhile to notice the hands; they're great, but they are trumped by the purple leg/footwear and neckline thingy, and the yellow bag.
I love that Sassoon-y 'do.
that is THE most amazing thing i have ever seen. this woman is my style icon. i am floored.
Creepy. I don't like it. I'm also not sure about the purple tights.
this must be the new alternative for straight-jackets hahahah.
amusing!
I forgot whose design that jacket was, but I don't think this looks flattering, it is somewhat unsettling, maybe she is going for that effect, and if that is the case she succeeded.
Those hands creep me out. Also, in addition to being 'weird' and disembodied-like, they detract from what would otherwise be a flattering jacket. Too 'gizmo'-y, for me, i guess.
The rest of the outfit is great - love the shoes and tights with the charcoal!
Give the girl a hand for this totally original outfit!
I think this was 'look of the day' on Style.com and it's obviously why....such a gorgeous coat combined in the best way
I love it! I think Galliano did hands on dresses recently but it reminds me of the movie "The Women." In the fashion show segment there is a coat with a "hand" closure and when the coat is taken off it reveals a dress covered in hand prints. Adrian was a genius!
it's a Comme Des Garcons!
I also think the hands are creepy BUT I applaud her for taking such a risk. It takes a lot of guts, and she obviously has them (note the bold bowl haircut.)
Its interesting that she is on the one hand elegant and well tailored, and on the other hand throwing in elements that are, in my opinion, hugely unflattering. She must have her own vision. I'd be curious to hear if she thinks its flattering or if she just doesn't care.
I LOVE the colors she chose to go w/navy. I think the purple is the perfect compliment, but I also like that she threw in an extra color w/the yellow bag.
Ooh funky! I love it and her bemused expression.
You haters are so boring! When fashion is a little unnerving, it becomes fascinating and the wearer becomes an artist.
It must be comme de garcons, right?
the coat is very theatrical but it all works!
at first her top freaked me out. I was confused. I thought she had 4 hands. But after looking at it more in-depth, it looked preety cool.
Fashion is not always about wearing things for that sole reason that they are "flattering". Sometimes, one would rather look interesting and provocative rather than simply chic. I applaud her for pulling off something so daring while still looking sharp at the same time. I mean, those colors, that tailoring! It's an amazing outfit.
I love seeing people wearing comme on the street...!
and, I didn't realize when I saw the runway photos on style.com, but the hands act as fastenings, don't they? rei k ftw!
AH! Happy Halloween! Hands indeed.
very creepy jacket... perhaps she wore this for Halloween?
Yes - Comme de garcons... she looks FAB.
That hands thing is a nice throwback to David Bowie's performance of Space Oddity on Midnight Special. I adore the grey straps/purple legs. She looks amazing and is styled perfectly for her looks.
the splashes of color with her purple shoes and tights, and bright yellow bag really make the outfit go BAM.
Here's something I puzzled over about this look (aside from where on earth would an adult woman find violet tights and matching mary-janes?) and I'm curious how women feel about the socio-political import: those applique's on the jacket are not women's hands (or even women's gloves)!
I suppose I'm just an obsolete deconstructionist looking for 'meaning' in everything, but the choice to represent men's hands on the woman's body rather than women's had to be made at some point by someone in the atelier. On what basis was that decision made? What does the choice say about the designer and about the wearer?
The jacket harkens, of course, the whimsical surrealism of Schiaparelli, but I have no doubt that such the conceptual applique's executed by Schiaparelli would have used women's hands, perhaps even with a gaudy paste ring or bangle to emphasize the femininity, and definitely would have been pattern matched with the stripe applied vertically to the hands.
Commes indeed! Wow... I seen this at L'ecleur (sp?) and couldn't get enough of it. Never in a million years did I think someone would wear it in the street. And to do so in a way where the hands are NOT the most attention grabbing element of the look! More vision than I had staring at the piece through a window in the Marais...kudos! Really well put together...great balance. And in my opinion that skirt is the real star!
her all-over purple legs look amazing!
But this is an olf photo, I have already seen it in another blog!
nice colors
I love how her skirt flows.
i really like those pink shoes, but something about this picture is creepy. perhaps the pair of gloves oddly embracing this jacket? yeah, i'm gonna say that's what it is.
LOL! She's having fun with fashion!
Somebody call Dali -- Fantastically skookum ensemble. I think I'm going to try and re-create this with fuschia elbow length leather gloves and perhaps have them meet or cross at the back. Is that crazy?

nice colour combination, and the gloves?! original :)
she obviously put a lot of thought into matching the dinosaur purple
accessories.
i like her dorothy hamill-esque haircut. not the most flaterring but she pulls it off somehow.
i'm not crazy about the mustard purse with the rest of her look. The short straps look awkward and uncomfortable while the dangly, hanging bits are distracting and detract from the attention-grabbing effect of the retro purple.
over all she kept things pretty simple, otherwise this would have been over the top. ( i think camille bidault waddignton wore this Comme jacket best).
this woman looks as though she's having fun with her fashion choices, which in the end really is the most important thing.
I dont like the jacket... sculptural objects on your day wear is a bit tacky. Everything else is beautiful.
Her look is bold but ultimately tiresome.
By the end of the day I'm sure you'd want to say to her: Joke's over...now please go home & change.
oh jeeeez :: fall 2007 comme des garcons ready-to-wear
on the streets of paris :: somehow i think "ready-to-wear" was taken a bit literally with the appliqued padded hands
gotta love it :: to each his/her own
I am not too crazy about the hands, but they show off a sense of fun and dearing that I admire anyway. Her hair cut, her bold colour combo and great charm really draws me to the picture. It is great to see real people who look this fascinating and stylish. Too me, this is much more exciting than the all star type looks above.
Definitely deserving of a double-take (oh la la, alliteration). I must say, this outfit cannot but garner attention--the striking fluorescent lavender complementing the equally bright yellow bag; the full, asymmetrical, skirt that crescendos from her waist; and not to mention those eye-catching hands embracing her. Not for the weak of heart, for sure.
