Comments on "On the Street....Little Star, Paris"
aww!!
i work with kids so this makes sense to me hahaha
but i love her stripes and her glasses! and bold move on the leg warmers!!!
cheer up sweetie! you look fierce!
This kind of picture / look I question because it's more mommy's style than it is the kids. Sure she's a cutie patootie (and there will be a hundred comments proclaiming so) but I personally don't get the point unless this girl dressed herself, which I don't think she did. Will you please post this Sart? (you rarely post critical comments, thanks)
haha kids are so funny. she has quite a funky style.
Do we think she is self-styled? Or was it the mother's doing?
Either way, she's a cutie.
Just Love It! :-)
ADORABLE
She's so cute! I just love her moue.
Such a little Diva! Adorable.
Oh cute! What's the story here?
this child is a love, I nice her glasses and her silver dress with hearts.
kisses from seville, spain
Awww...how cute! Love the haircut, cute glasses, stripes & leg warmers, too precious!
Cute, cute, cute...
I like that she is dress like a child, not like a woman. Children should be children.
Adorable. I love her little purple glasses.
Sidenote: those must be the tiniest legwarmers I've ever seen.
this pic has so much soul... I can feel how the little miss sunshine;) is feeling!!!
LOVE IT!!!
Oh, dear me. This is the best thing you have ever posted on your site. She is wonderful. The boobly lip is the best part.
wow! shes beautiful! Love, LOVE her. Elle est merveilleuse! This outfit works on her
who is the asian woman in the back who's also photographing her? you've photographed her several times, & she always looks amazing.
I love this shot. Nothing like a cute, pouting child to make you laugh. Aside from the little cutie, the girl shooting the photo in the BG is great too. I think you've shown her to us before.
Nice shot, Sart.
Suri who?????????
This girl is a true diva!!!!
Love her!!!!
for 5:13pm
sometimes it is just about the photographic moment. If she was dressed totally normal I still would have taken the shot. This is all about not doing what everyone wants you to do.
I have just found your blog. My husband spotted it and sent me the link. Fantastic photos. I love taking photos, but of course don't come within a mile! I bet this little lady chose her own clothes. I know 3 year olds who insist on it. What a face.
BT
If the drab woman next to her is Mamma, then perhaps Mamma is expressing her vibrancy through the little one? Maybe the child wants to go home and change into something grey, like her mother? etc etc...
aww shes adorable, lover her leg warmers and silver dress~ her hair is really cute too!
SO CUTE!!!
Is that a glow stick I see around her neck? Looks like a party has come to an end. I know the feeling :(
Awww.
Kids are like nature, never afraid of being flamboyant and rarely getting it wrong. Its the raw personality behind it that makes the difference, I think.
You could psychoanalyze all the relationships in this photo or you could appreciate it for what it is: a great moment.
I laughed out loud when I saw this! Hahaha, the reluctant starlet. Cheer up sweetie!
i love her! she surely is rocking those pink leg warmers and i love her attitude even more...
hahahaha!!!
sooo nice!!!
I love her face!
even if she didn't dress herself, having a mum who can obviously put a great outfit together points her in the right direction for a stylish future. no?
love everyone in this picture.
the fashionable mom. totally rad kid. and the asian photographer with a quirky sense of style who invokes curiosity more than the main subject.
hey... you know kids start early!!
have a niece that tells her mom what to dress her in!!
Solar powered dress, and attitude.
I sell kids clothing, and kids 4 and up always have an opinion about what mom buys-- especially the girls.
Looks like a lot of photographers were trying to get the shot you got, Scott.
It's not hard to believe that's a child-chosen outfit. My daughter's been dressing herself (stylishly, with lots of layers) since she was 2.
i want to know the backstory here. why are there so many photogs around her?
looks a lot like a pouty mini-celebrity surrounded by paparazzi!
It's nice to see that children across the world are all the same-really irritated because her mom made her wear this outfit. The beauty of this photo is her expression. Great job capturing the expression!
F'n Priceless!!
love it.
made my day
2 little girls i babysit would love this. maybe i'll let them post a comment the next time i have to watch them.
perfect little glasses. and that glo stick necklace!
I totally believe that she dressed herself... this looks like an outfit that my kid would put together on any day of the week!
(Just this week she went out in a black and white striped shirt under a polka-dot dress with bright purple tights.)
If she didn't style herself, I will bet money she had a lot of influence on what she's wearing. Little girls always do. My guess is that the leg warmers were her idea. I also don't find anything wrong with parents reflecting their style on their kids - that's how they learn!
Little Susy doesn't think her tin foil dress will keep the aliens from seeing her belly button.
I never comment because I would always say the same thing- love, brilliant, beautiful, etc. But I had to comment on this one- hilarious! That you captured her little pouty face is priceless!
This isn't about the cute kiddo clothes at all, you guys! Look at that FACE. The eyes and eyebrows especially just kill me.
to the anonymous that said that s/he questions the mother's style, seriously, i know TONS of little girls who dress like this and they pick out their outfits on their own. lots of different colors and styles all mashed together. there are just not that many moms who will let them go out like that :) i bet this little girl LOVES that dress and wears it to bed!
it's rare that little girls get it so right. she definitely knew what to put on. probably from watched her mother.
so cute! what is she pouting about?
Best photo I have seen on sartorialist so far! Love it!
Anon 5:13 - this is totally how all little girls this age would dress if given the opportunity. I guarantee it.
A rare example of wicked fantastical style that has genuinely has nothing to do with courting attention.
she is rockin those leg warmers! so what if it is her mom's style..she will come into her own and in the meantime we get to enjoy her:)
super adorable!
What the fuck is wrong with someone else choosing her outfit? She's a got damn kid. It is possible to admire someone else's ability to dress children, you know.
So many people are photographing her though, poor girl.
I love children with glasses, probably because I had to wear glasses when I was very small!
Pink, glitter, and hearts - any girly-girl's favorite combo. My three-year-old approves.
Ha! Perfect! I also work with kids and see this face so often. Amazing.
Emily
awesome...... i laughed out loud.....too cute!!!
I'm glad to see a kid wearing clothes with a sense of fun and colour that don't rely on glitter AND frills AND pink AND fairy motifs to say 'girl'. With sensible shoes no less. And I'm with 'iheartfashion' - my 2 year old daughter could also have dressed herself in this. (She chose spotty shorts worn over jeans this morning.) Was the pout over the lens attention or the occasion?
Precious!. Gollum in the back trying to get the ring.
She reminds me of Shy Violet from Rainbow Brite!
oh god look at all the photographers surrounding her...no wonder she is one grumpy (but ever so cute) kid!
I love that the mom is smiling - not getting into it with the girl - and that she seems to be allowed to be herself. Bravo!
Purple glasses and atitude? This is a girl after my own heart. Looking at mom, I'd say she dressed herself and knows how to work it!
the new paparazzi.
catch-em while they are young.
Mamaaaa... make that paparazzi go awaaaay!
Such a cute little outfit. Very fashionable.
so so sweetie! If only she is my pretty daughter. Firece firce firce! Great attitude!
Aaaaw, so qute..
A baby Bjork! I like her 90's raver dress. :)
But I like the striped blazer on our favorite Parisian photog in the BG (with new shorn hairstyle!) even better.
she has style.
I've got to add that I love the mom's boots.
Sooooooo cute!!!
I dig the velcro sneakers the little girl is rocking. Def the way to go when you're that age. Cool looking and practical!!
very edna mode from the incredibles. :)
As a have I childrens-clothes shop myself, I'm sure this must be a French or Italian brand that the little one is wearing...Something like Simonetta or I pinco pallino...
Adore her leg-warmers...<3
So cute !!
Aahhh, I spot "controversially thin Asian girl leaning against car", a post from, must be a year or so ago now Sart? Caused a big stir on this blog at the time. The reason why I'm certain its her is because of the shoes; she's got the same pair of shoes! Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Energie
She's adorable. And even if her mother dressed her (of which I'm not convinced), she's rocking the 'tude to go with the clothes. I'm sure she was smiling 5 minutes after this photo was taken.
p.s. Love her hair!
If I may, she carries the Balenciaga look quite beautifully.
i really like this post.
very cute pics.
Yeah, her mom dressed her, but a kid with an attitude won't wear anything he doesn't like. Her style is being made, and we'll see how she'll dress in 10-15 years :)
L.
Who really cares about the clothes? and who dressed who? It's the emotion that makes me laugh and the so obviously firey spirit of protest. As a parent I know that look so well!
sooo adorable! love her disco dress and how she's still staying true to her inner princess with the pink and purple.
awww.
i agree with those that say that the little girl had a lot of input on her style choices. children don't have the need to dress for others or fit in that adults often do. it's really a pretty fantastic ensemble.
Aw, such a sweetheart, and she can pout if she wants to...
My friend has two adorable little ones who dress themselves all the time. This photo reminds me of the many ways children put the F-U-N in funky!
I am loving the photographer in the background, by the way.
Great shot!
I saw this little girl in le Palais de Tokyo with her mother after Gareth Pugh's show. She was so cute, but having a bit of a diva tantrum then!
I would love to think she chose the outfit herself.
And in agreement with an earlier comment - who is the Asian photographer in the background? I saw her a lot too during Paris fashion week.
Oh god, isn't that just the cutest thing?
So cute fashionable children. A fashionista in the making.
Aw god... that's my cousin >__<'
Anyone who is a mother KNOWS that this is mom's style. Could be dad's too as we often forget the role they play ie... The Sartorialist! Nonetheless, she is adorable. The facial expression is priceless!
she looks like a rather reluctant star at that. her outfit is gorgeous - i almost wish i could be a kid again to get away with wearing something like this. i'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt that she could've picked this outfit for herself - maybe i'm just envious i'm nowhere near as stylish as she is yet at my age.
She's so adorable! I added the picture as inspiration on my blog(:
poor little girl!
polly
Oh lord! She looks so upset, but still pretty...Love her attitude wearing such a complicated version of herself...Lovely!
X
Cute as can be! Love it!
I thought she might be part of a photo shoot, a toddler's fashion shoot or something, hence the other photographer, and Sart just ran into them, took the snapshot. Am I close, Scott?
1. unless we're saying "Asian photographer" to distinguish the person in the background from Sart (and even if we are), i think the "Asian" part is a little unnecessary and quite revealing about people.
2. to people who think the style is all the mother's doing: clearly you have never dealt with children. the vast majority i come in contact with on a regular basis are very self-determined and do not allow mommy to pick out all their clothes. this little girl is obviously more of the independent type.
I love it!
Many times my my youngest turn like that while while my eldest hammed it up!
Nice pic.
so hard to be famous! :)
Obviously not very happy about being the center of attention.... LOL...
Very nice.
I think she could have dressed herself, I remember trying to wear all purple or all polka dots at once! I probably would have loved that silver dress!
wow. so cute
So cute !!! :D
what about the style of the women on the background she looks sartorialist too don't you think?
yep, you create your little princess doll - and there you can see the diva attitude already. nice.
(but still very cute!)
Ahhh I love it, Sart! Kids really do have their own sense of style, even though their mothers buy their clothing. I think this is evidenced in particular by her glow-stick necklace, which, whether or not it was a conscious choice, really ties her whole, adorable outfit together.
I think she dressed herself. Most little girls I know love pink and sparkles. What a cutie!!
princess looks great, well done mom! by the way, mom's boots are awesome.
She is adorable! and probably picked that outift out herself, look out work this girl is gonna knock some socks off..
http://nycmagnet.wordpress.com/
oh what a picture! the mom, the girl and the woman on the back! everyone's unique, everyone with a sense of style (especially the photographer).
Of course she dressed herself! Kids this age are fabulous at putting together outfits that no adult would ever envision--they make their own rules!
I have to say I agree with 5:13. yes this is a great moment that you captured but I thought this blog was more about peoples style than photography- photography makes the shots come alive, gives them personality but the subject is the piece of art that the photography aids.
she does exude quite a strong personality in this photo which is great- I just dont know if it belongs on this blog.
aww talk about being followed by the fashion paparazzi!!
lovely! a very modern princess!!
Sart, you say this shot is about not doing what everyone else wants you to do, and that is certainly what I feel when I look at the "little star." It's her face and demeanor, not her clothing, that communicate to me. In light of the many other photographers around her, I also wonder what is going on--and is it all right to take a person's photo when she does not want it, even--or especially--a child? After all, Sart's adult subjects pose for him.
That's one funky little chickadee. A fashionista in training. Love it!
Best photo ever, she is the mostr adorable little thing I have ever seen in my life
Balenciaga gone cute :)
Anyone who thinks that child did not dress herself probably doesn't have children. It's all over once they can speak! The parent may indeed be purchasing the clothing for the child, but trust me, the kids have their own take on what to wear.
Aside from all that, it does an old knitter's heart good to see all the knitted items. I'm so glad I'm not the only one with leg warmers! I might need some pink ones ...
french kids and their glasses
trop mignone!
it's all about her very high bangs, glasses, eyes, smootchy lips, defiant crossed arms and the lean of her leg.
rad. she's Harriet the Spy!!!
Elle en a marre des photographes!
I think this is your most original picture.
You can tell by the look on this kid's face that there is no way that her mom gets to dress her. "No mommy! I want to wear my glitter dress and my hot pink leg warmers!" When I was that age, this is absolutely how I would have dressed myself. Her mom may have had to convince her to wear a long sleeve shirt and tights though, so she doesn't freeze to death.
O this is adorable !
Regardless of who dressed her, the outfit is fun, imaginative, and cute.
Both she & mom look fab !
She totally reminds me of Ramona the Brave from those Beverly Cleary books.
She is UNREAL! That's incredible. There is no way this kid is going to be a bore in life. She's ready to make waves. Maybe a critic of some kind?
suuper cuuute! =)
this looks like an outfit i'd have constructed for myself at that age. i love it.
We love her heart pokets! so nice little girl!
for Anon 9:49 am
i shoot what moves me, most of the time it is based on what people are wearing but sometimes it is just the moment.
Sometimes I see someone that i wouldn't take their photo when they are standing still but once they are moving the whole look comes alive - basically i react to the moment and think about the "why" later.
this ,to me, is a great moment wrapped in great style.
At 25, single and living in NYC, there's not a whole lot that makes me yearn to marry a beautiful woman, settle down and have children.
This precious little girl does.
I love her purple glasses! So cute.
oh my gosh that kills me - she is so cute!
so cute!! her hair is perfect!
well no wonder she's pouty there are 3 photographers snappin away. love her facial expression and her stance it makes the outfit.
Haha, great.
I'd love to know the story behind this. I like how there are other people taking pictures of her as well.
The mystery woman in the back is Rei, always love to see her pictures!
Words can't describe how much I love this photo. Thank you.
she is the most sweet and cute girl I ever saw. she makes me wanna adopt her!!
The next Anna Wintour...
diva in training! love, love, love.
disco ball dress with heart-shaped pockets is to die for. wish it came in my size.
kids looks cute in anything! love her pouty expression!
too cute!
Awwww. What a perfect moment! That pouty lower lip is a killer!
Your kid shots are so wonderful. One of my favorites is a photo you snapped of a mother and her young daughter, watching a runway show. It was magic, pure magic.
sucha cute pout! i wonder if her mummy dressed her... this picture made me smile :D
so cute! she looks so much like me when i was a kiddo.
that's so cute!
i just loved the little girl's face!
Has to be the BEST picture ever... "Oh little Madeline (as in the cartoon character) isn't too happy today!" LOL
I commentd on this pic at sytle and I will say it again. That little girl is out of this world style wish.
PERFECT. That's all I can say--just perfect! The entire photo.
I don't care who dressed her (though I think she dressed herself) -- she is absolutely adorable! I love the pout and the way her outfit is so put together yet also appropriate for a little girl. Bright, creative and fun! Cheer up kiddo, I've made you my wallpaper :) You are such a star, you made my day!
My guess is that she lovingly picked out her clothing, but is now mortified that it has drawn too much attention. I hope she isn't traumatized into dressing blandly in the future.
This is the 5th time I've looked at this photo and after the 5th it still brings out the same chuckle upon discovering it the first time. I don't think I even really noticed the outfit - I can't pinpoint exactly what it is but the pout on her face just keeps making me laugh!!!
She is so cute! Adore her coat and socks!
x Rebecca
Gosh, where's my head? Instead of coat I mean dress en sorry for posting this url into the box from my reaction at the post: On the Street....Jeans & Jacket (part 2), NYC
x Rebecca
I became her fan number 1, she's sooo cute and adorable!!!! A God's angel!!!!
She must have dressed herself. Every kid I've ever known has been through a stage when they're really into that, and I don't blame them, as there's so little in your life you control as a kid. A boy I used to nanny for went through a stage where he insisted on wearing his green rainboots all the time, even to bed, and often while otherwise clad only in a diaper. It was a pretty winning look, I must admit; when you're little you can get away with anything. Charming.
A little Parisienne already, and definitely one with an attitude! I like it.
Dame Blanche
aww, what's the matter cute little stylish boo-boo bear? ...i mean, it doesn't get any better than heart pockets!!
and i actually don't quite agree that this is necessarily "mommy's style". i think this is exactly how a little girl might dress when dressing herself on fall morning...
Little girls can be the most demanding fashionistas.I can see this one refusing to leave the house until she had her matching tights and turtleneck. I have been yelled at by friends/mothers because I have purchased these sets for thier princesses and it only ignited thier inner diva.
Aww, what a little cutie. But I guess she didn't really feel like posing that day...
she looks just like rainbow brite. i love it. and that face, well speaks for itself. what a diva!!
Is that Rei in the background getting a shot??
what a lil nugget.
lucky little girl. she is growing up with style. it's a good beginning of life. love the bold outfit with the leg warmers and the shiny dress. so sweet!
Edith Piaf prima donna meets Jennifer Beals dance aspirant!
all of the little girls i know dress like this..
if mom did dress her though, i applaud her. it's nice to see a child at fashion week who isn't dressed like a mini-me in designer clothes.
the facial expression is priceless... people have commented saying 'great photo, but it doesn't belong here'. why not? i think it's beautiful and hilarious.
aww, i love it!
so cute!
on a trop la classe à paris!
Aw she looks like rainbow brite!
i'm loving the fringe!
how cute!
scooby doo inspired fringe and glasses
i believe the photographer behind her is the japanese fruits girl <3
her clothes are really cute !
It has to be said: this outfit would be nothing without the pout. This girl knows how to wear a face.
Wonderful photo, but I do wonder how 'cute' people would find this child were she pitching the same fit in a supermarket...
