Comments on "On the Street....Lucia, Florence"
Adorable outfit, love the headwrap!!
I love this! Lux shades contrasted with a casual silhouette.
The outfit without the blouse would be better. She looks like an actress in an old film.
Lovely picture - I see different eras in this outfit. The head wear is so 40s/50s. Women in this age certainly knew how to dress
oh she's lovely! the hint of gold... like a pretty klimt portrait
Wait, is it humanly possible for someone to wear turbans supremely better than Andre Leon Talley? ; )
But, seriously though, this is the way to do turbans. Great shot.
I love the combination of the purple and it's desaturated version in the skirt. The bright purple around the shoulders nicely points the face out.
Charming! I love how femenin those colours and silky textures are. I also like what she has on her head, really nice!
Oh she is adorable.
She draws together a mixture of the 40/50s (the headwrap) the 80s (the bubble skirt) and the 70s (the shoes). Then for good measure she throws in a touch of the oriental (the tied blouson).
Overall the outfit should be a mess, yet due to her restraint in selection of toning colours and her attitude it looks delightful.
The composition of the shot is also wonderful.
this is so lush! the outfit, the colours, the background! well done, i love it!
I really like this outfit! Nice colors
;)
I'm curious, when you're photographing people in another country, do you have a different approach? Concerns about mis-communications or what have you? (or do you speak several languages?)
I'm just wondering. She seems so pleased to have her photo taken - very different from those typically photographed in New York.
Have a good one.
She looks like Joséphine Baker !
She looks like a reincarnation of Poiret's wife, Denise. Love the colour combination - especially love the turban.
the mauve shades are very appealing..the headwrap does pull the look together...
She looks like someone who creates her own looks and is fearless about it. Great picture! Jorge from W Palm Beach
I love the combination of colors in this outfit. The pose is just silly!
beautiful subtle gold and bronze tones go so well with the purple.. and especially in front of that old brick wall(?) - amazing. not so sure about the head wrap though!
She's a butterfly! She makes me want to dance.
nice pose as well
A refined and delicious sense of color and texture....comfortable, pretty, fun, PERFECT!
I love her fun attitude and the outfit too. The colours and proportions are spot on. The different types of gathering on the various pieces--skirt, top, and scarf-- all come together.
And once again, you've beautifully matched your subject to the setting.
love the shoes!
Who wouldn't want to look like this during the summer?? The muted lilac colors and deco print wrap are beautiful!
That's Rosie the Riveter on her night out with the gals :) Nice retro look, jumping from jazz to WWII
She looks like a shy and intelectual Carmen Miranda. But Carmen Miranda was much more modern. She seems to be one of these not very atractive people who because they believe and act as if they were beautiful, the rest of the world starts believing it too.
I love the feather detail on the top. the silver on the purple is so dramatic. I wish I could pull off the head scarf like my mom used to wear. I like her shoes too.
There is something shakespearean in the photo. The lady could be (a very modern) character of The Merchant of Venice.
The background is (again) a great choice.
The soft drapery and the rough walls make a great contrast. Like the slightly playful pose too!
like a Modigliani- lovely
i am compelled to comment. LOVE this outfit. the floaty blouse, the wonderful lilac colors, the high-waisted bubble skirt, the great vintage-looking shoes...
LOVE it.
the shoes are lovely, anyone know who they're by?
Gorgeous, and great shoes! Love the colours and drapey shapes.
wow. The colors, the textures, the whole look is stunning.
i think perhaps a bit overdone. it would have looked more cohesive and pulled together without the purple top.
i love her little purple bolero, the whole colour ensemble is great.
I am officially IN LOVE! I need to meet this woman.
So charmimg!
great wall, adorable expression- just a few too many ties and gathers.
I'm a Lucia myself, and to have such a stylish woman reppin' the name is awesome! Beautiful color tones!
yes yes yall, you got it!
vamped and vivid...the gold leaf does bring to mind gustav klimit's 'golden period'...this lady is saucy!
this is amazing
I love the complexities of color. A far cry from black & white. She has an inner shine and confidence, what it takes to put this together. Subtle, yet screaming taste. Lovely ankles & wrists. What a pleasure to view, thank you. Ciao Firenze !
I love that outfit - the textures, proportions, colors; she has it all.
really beautiful. love the colors and textures. adorable shoes.
love it. especially those shoes!
I am partial to brown clothing so, what can I say!!! It is a great shot and the background reminds me a lot of an old warehouse my great granfather and my granfather used to owned in the souther part of Puerto Rico... It was a 19th century building and I used to play there in the afternoons while my grandpa slept his siesta.
Gypsy chic!
Time Warp! Though she looks more Italian village than city chic, which is actually a cool look.
I wish I could desribe how much I adore this outfit. It's perfect, perfect! She looks so Harlem Jazz.

For me, this is a lesson in layering, draping and tying. She has no accessories or other accoutrements, and the colors are not particularly vibrant, but the outfit is so interesting because of the variation of pleats, ties, draping and layering. I quite like this one, good call.
Wonderful as usual.
I'm completely fan !
Soo sassy --- so lovely! The head wrap is just divine!
she looks like she stepped to of a 40's/50's vintage magazine, with a modern twist of course...love it!
lovely! she oozes the charm of a 1940s club singer
Great picture! I love the skirt, shoes and headwrap. The colors are lovely.
fun! very 70s/40s! The overblouse and headwrap make it
What's so bad with looking like an actress in an old film?
old italy inspired..non male.
So very original and romantic.
i find this young lady's outfit really inspiring. It's such an eclectic mix of elements yet really works. I think the Fortuny-esque bolero pulls it all together. Oh to be in Italy! Lucky you, Sart...
I don´t like the way she is posing at all. The shoes though are cute.
Beautiful head wrap.

i love her shoes
Beautiful portrait and color palette. Huzah for individual style.
I LOVE this! This to me is the epitome of summer. It's easy-going, but it's still feminine and just glamorous enough without over-doing it.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really inspired by her outfit.
European women always look better than American women. Don't know why. It's just the way it is.
I'm thinking of Cinema Paradiso right now!
oh, and i love the contrast of the rough brick behind her with the silk and jersey of her outfit. very nice!
i know it's been said...but what a beautiful color combination.
This is just simply a great outfit. Something that could have just been thrown together at the last minute but makes perfect sense and really works. Something I strive for everyday. :)
Love it!
i don't know where you're coming from, anon. 9:38am - she is beautiful to begin with.
this is such a good outfit.

wow, fabulous and lovely! What a great look.
Wow! I love everything about her and her ensemble. What a beauty. So casual and confident and alluring. Mama mia!
Many of the shots in the Sartorialist are examples against the statement: European women always look better than American women.
If her personality matches, and apparently it does, the outfit works for her so thumbs up for individual style. But there is one too many places to 'tie the knot' - either head wrap or purple blouse but both...not convinced.
Gypsy-esque
She's it!
Adorable, well done girl :-)
Love from Sweden..
For every stylish woman in Italy there are easily 50 who are wearing something that's too tight, too bright, too revealing, too rhinestoned, or includes way too much polyester and lycra. I do wish Americans would stop saying silly things like "all" European women are better looking than "all" American women -- in hopes of looking sophisticated, one supposes. Stylish European women are gorgeous, but classic American style has nothing to apologize for either. As always it depends on the individual: both Heidi Montag and Donatella Versace are eyesores but Jackie O. and Carla Bruni are not. You get the idea.
I love the shoes she has chosen for the outfit - I can't imagine any other style or color working with it so well. This really is an inspiring shot - just gorgeous!
this is wonderful. i love the color combination--and it goes perfectly with the background colors. hmm, but then i wonder how it would look in a more "modern" urban environment with grey hues. . . . about her pose, is she a model, or did you, Sart, ask her to pose that way? either way it's delicately and playfully sexy. her head wrap: gives it all a sort of gypsy-chic effect. well done, love it!
I love what's going on on top, but the skirt and the cami just kill it for me. v_v
The outfit is great and inspired/inspiring. But I don't think those are her best colors.
It looks like the "cache misère" is making a glorious comeback. Could this be stimulated by a combination of the pictures of a beautiful young Simone de Beauvoir, which appeared in the neswpapers this year and of the fact that some moslim women wear their headscarves very creatively as a fashion statement? I do like it. Anje.
BRAVO anon 4:44!!
(also have to add: love the pose. it's confident and saucy which just adds to her outfit- no pigeon toes here!)
The shoes are an amazing pair of python sandals from Emma Hope - London.
"But there is one too many places to 'tie the knot' - either head wrap or purple blouse but both.."
Well, I thought about it when I left the room that morning, but somebody told me that imperfection is a way to beauty. and I must tell you a secret: that skirt has a knot on the back too! ahahah! So at the end the extra makes me laugh!
I'm really loving this - the shapes, the play of colour. The butterfly top reminds me of a beautifully-embroidered silk shawl from the 1920s that my mom used to wear. Something about the luxe of the colours and fabrics (though with a hint of casual) actually remind me of early 20th century informal wear.
she does not appear to have a bag. i wonder what type of bag she would go for with this outfit.
Love the color combination!!! Sweet.
Love! The gold and violet against the grey and puce just sings!
I think this look shows a look of spunk and originality. Cute, not too fussy, but chic.
Spanish beauty!
Zia Maria is back!
love the entire outfit and the setting for the pic is amazing!!!
A little bit Evita... Such a big personality!
love the pleating in the skirt (what a fabulous color too!) and those gorgeous shoes. she looks like shes ready to hit the dancefloor
Wow, this is PERFECT!
