On the Street.... Headbands, West Village
Headbands...what a tough accessory.
When they are right, they are really right and when they are wrong you're Loverboy.
To me, the headband makes this whole look, makes it more slinky.

post a commentI dont have a comment on the outfit, but what a great location! Jorge from West Palm Beach
she's so hot!
I love everything she's wearing and especially that expression. she's too cool.
i'm in love...but that's impossible!!!...because i play for the other team ; )
Loving it... what a natural pose striker~!
As an aside, how quickly the species became camera conscious! And in what, a span of _maybe_ 180 years?!
With Neptune currently transiting humane Aquarius, expect the many as opposed to the few seeking and bringing to bear a very cinematic sense of self, destiny, and style.... expect lots of trends harkening back to that queen of the self-reflexive, the stock Hollywood image. And from all periods. Bottom line? Glamour, glamour, glamour! Illusion, delusion, confusion!
The herd animal that be we is ready for its closeup....
With that face, I think this woman could pull off any look! She's fabulous!
she's strikingly beautiful. i wonder how old she is, she looks very young, maybe 18, 19, but still has a fierce attitude. She's just plain gorgeous.
Again, I love the dress and the beat up Converse... Awesome!
This girl rules.
Stunner. Who cares about the outfit? (though I do think it's very cool). She's got to be a model... and if she's not, she should be. Way more interesting than so many of the other boring girls you see on the runways and in magazines.
Hey that's Bertine a model from Selct Models in London!!!! Used to work with her years ago on a campaign shoot!!
K
reminds me of lisa bonet...i'm such a sucker for all stars...
I love her whole look - the mix of textures and proportions. The headband serves to highlight her beautiful face. And Hey! - she's not carrying a bag the size of Brazil... Great photo!
Scott Schuman takes beautiful photos.
But does beautiful person make beautiful photo or beautiful photo makes beautiful person?
I agree. The headband really does make the look.
Love that expression too. Wow. :)
I love this cute, confortable, easygoing look, but precisely not sure about the headband here, it looks kind of strange...
FACE!
She has style!
i love your photos! and your eye for fashion.
what lens do you use?
You absolutely, positively must love the Chuck Taylors. To me, the Chucks take this whole ensemble to another level as much as the headband does.
"...and when they are wrong you're Loverboy."
that's possibly the funniest thing i've read on here yet scott. and, of course, spot on.
She pulls off the look so well. Gorgeous face, too!
Love the girl.
Love the shot.
But writing in because I love the word SLINKY!
xo
Dang! This youngster knows what she's doing. Ultra cool and cozy in her clothes. Love the Converse sneakers, and you're right--the headband does the trick.
While she's definitely beautiful - no denying that...the outfit is common-there isn't anything special about the shoes, purse, sweater or shoes.
I can appreciate the whole urban look of the shot though...
Background is marvelous!
just great.
when the headband comes with the beautiful head, it should be awesome.
also i love the patterns on the dress and the texture of the knit.
She's FAB, and so is Scott Schuman for recognizing true FAB.
She should date me. She's really, really pretty.
I wonder what are the streets in NY Scott considers to be the most stylish?
I see her alot in central london...
K
yes she's a model from select
Lovely, symmetrical face. Is that a lace shawl draped scarfwise? The dark clothing and accessories frame and spotlight that beautiful, intelligent face. Yes, no enormous bag to distract from or hide this dignified woman.
She's one long anonymous popsicle until you get to the face. Band, brows and mouth make for a very happy surprise. Glad you caught the shot. It made my morning.
The background brought out the whole attitude from her look. /when i first look at this shot, i just love it. but, then when i did zoom in, i thought she looks sleepy and the headband just don't fit in.
she's such a badass!!!
her face doesn't hurt things.
Oh man, headbands are my thing so I'm glad this photo showcases one! I also love her super relaxed pose and the city buildings in the background...it almost looks like the street is deserted, which really adds to the moment that was captured.
Her expression is awesome. I love everything about the shot. But her expression inspired confidence in me today. Thanks.
She is gorgeous I think she could wear a burlap sack and still look stunning.
She reminds me of Mimi's character from Rent; rebellious, rugged, yet girlishly vulnerable in a way that makes her quite stylish. :)
I like it very much. I've been donning various headbands in odd ways since last year and everyone in my suburbian surroundings seems to look at me strangely, until one day a lovely Brazilian woman said to me, "The way you wear your headbands are very en vogue." That meant a lot.
If you ever want to check out my fashion blog, that'd be wonderful.

Like the background of this shot.Does she think she's posing for vogue?. She's wearing too much makeup and looks so unnatural.
love the attitude in the photo, and she definitely rocks the headband...beautiful!
Black on black. It works,but I don´t like the impression on her face. Not friendly at all.
She looks great. I love the look. It makes me think again about stuffing my headband in the closet and forgetting about it ;)
She looks like one of the kids my daughter goes to school with: comfortable AND stylish!
Love her. From her headband to her Chucks.
That's Bettine! She's at Muse Models. Homegirl is flyyyy.
Great as always!!!
Completely in agreement with Jorge, the first poster: that background is surreal-- the composition of the three buildings look like a montage from a painting. Love your eye sir!
--PLO
Beautiful girl - and I love the style too. Beautiful image overall Scott.
I love this picture, but I still think this outfit would be better without the chucks. They're so done. Everyone needs to put them in the closet for a few years and wear them when they're fresh looking again.
omg.
she is gorgeous.
I'm glad someone else thought she looks like Lisa Bonet. (Of course, I was going to say "Denise from 'The Cosby Show'!")
I love her headband. Inspiring.
Am I the only one who didn't get it? I think the headband makes her forehead look a bit wide and short and creates a strange first impression. The rest is fine.
THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY COOL
her facial expression steals the show.
i want to be her best friend!
glorious face! Bettine - Muse NYC girl
http://www.musenyc.com/
she's a tim burton character come to life!
STUNNING!!!
JUST STUNNING!
And she's rocking that look because of her tough attitude. Look at that expression!

This picture is sublime. I mean that.
It's almost like a movie set...where are the hustling and bustling people?! She's fabulous--the power of youth, baby(it's hard to pull off the tights and tennis shoes when you're out of your 20s)
You go, girl.
this girl looks like a gazelle
...
i like the fact that it looks like she didn't put too much effort into her outfit- a kind of a 'damn, i slept in late and now i missed my morning lecture' look
This photo looks like it was taken from a page of Sassy magazine back in the day. Love it.
I like her look a lot- she looks pulled together but comfortable and relaxed. And she's got a STANCE!
love her 'tude
hey, this is on gay street!! the best street in nyc!
Beautiful picture. Bring it on!
This makes me wish I'd had a daughter (as well as my marvellous, gorgeous son).
She's a little intimidating in the face, but chuck taylors can make anyone whimsical. If she chose some sort of lace up patent booties instead of converse, she'd be completely unapproachable. Pretty.
I love her expression!!! She exudes confidence...
This is one of my favorites. A nod to 90's coffee shop chic with the attitude of Keyshia Cole. WTF?!
Not much to say about the outfit...she makes it look good with that expression on her face.
And amazing background shot.
love her effortlessly cool look and expression!
Honestly, is she a model for whom you hired a stylist or someone you ran into on the street? NYC has a lot of gorgeous women with amazing individual style but this woman is STYLE from her head wrap to her Chucks.
Urban youth again?
She is gorgeous but looks like she can't really afford good shoes.
I love your website because you usually photograph really well dressed people so I can get good ideas on how to be better dressed.
This doesn't help.
Love the outfit. Love the Chucks! Chucks always make the outfit---so hip and cool, just like she is!
Oh my, this is so, so halal. She looks fantastic - I am now convinced that sheer tights are the secret to looking great in everything.
great pic, great look. long live chucks w/ all types of clothing. i'm with ya on the headband comments. it makes this one. loverboy, ha! get lucky!
Jourdan Dunn?
the main thing for me is not "what" she is wearing, but "as" she is wearing it..cool!
andre
she is beautiful, very celestial and otherworldly...
