post a commentshe looks like a quirky doll with awesome layers on her, and those peter pan like shoes are adorable.
I like that she has a look
but I do not think it makes her attractive at ALL
It looks like she created a habit of wearing layers.
Style seems secondary here.
This is a time when you see someone who has thier "uniform"
I just don't like her habits in layering.
Is this style or habit?
Habit
this is not actually considered 'nice' in a conservative sense. these two photos got a similar silhouettes, as if there is actually someone out there that was made to look like a cartoon character. she emphasized this fact by wearing out-of-this-world wardrobes [not each piece is, mind you, but the overall effect... excluding the shoes... they're just hands-down mindboggling.]
i don't know if i supposed to write this or not, but if i met her in the real world, i might smile + fall in love with her. on the spot.
I love her looks! So whimsical, but you can see very practical. She can wear a flirty dress and not worry about any exposure issues while she's moving around. Very nice. She looks to be comfortable in her own skin. I hope she smiles now and then.
she is tiny tiny tiny
love her, love her, love her!
she looks always so amazing, i never get tired of looking at her and i'm always looking forward to new photos.
i would also love to see the pictures that she takes!
she looks like she was designed by Jamie Hewlett.
The boots in the first one... amazing. I've been looking at thrift stores around here for some sort of boot like that. So pauper-looking, but so perfect.
I absolutely love the shoes. Does anyone know where I may find them?
Isn't this the same photographer we see in the background photographing the pouting princess in a previous post? I get the feeling of obsession here. Obsession with making photos, with presenting herself to the world - throught the use of proportion and delicate fabrics- as a little bitty miserable person who must me successful and noticed.
she's cute. I wonder what kind of camera that is she's holding? any ideas?
I love this interest in capturing other photographers. Fascinating stuff.
This woman here is really playing the (broken?) doll card. I admire her dressing-up sensibility, even though she looks bizarre (especially due to the shoes).
the japan lovely style..i appreciate...

Nope, not the same woman. The photographer in the background of the princess shot can be seen here:

I love, love, love her style. :)
I just fell of my chair....wow !
I simply adore her dress/skirt/tunique in the second picture...the material looks fragile just like she does...love the shoes on her too ...Anyone else would look ridiculous but some people can wear anything...
As for the picture on top : she IS a woman on top ...I love embroidered patterns, her top makes me think about the fabrics the Oilily collections used to have in the 80'ies....
So cute! Why don't my bangs look like that? Darned wavy hair!!
that's one hell of a camera. i'm dying to know what that little leopard cuff is - it's fascinating.
Her shoes are amazing. She looks like an out of work fairy.

the camera is a Fuji GA645 Professional medium format rangefinder camera. The negative is 6 x 4.5 cm big. I have the 6 x 9 cm version. EXCELLENT image quality but they have been discontinued.
skinnyGlasses, her camera looks like a Fuji 645 medium-format rangefinder.
i find her style glorious.
especially her boots, her black necklace, and her gaze.
and the print on her shirt.
She looks so precious, love her chutzpah and creativity!
i love her look. love it! talk about style. no, the shoes aren't flattering, but isn't she great for wearing them. i'd love to know her shoe story.
She reminds me of Bjork - consistently crazy, in a good way. I love her mad shoes and A line silhouette.
danielle, I don't think it's a leopard print cuff - I think it's a scrunchie. You can sort of see it in her hair in the first photo.
this is a fascinating silhouette!
LOVE the boots in the first picture
it is interesting to see how she is wearing the same skirt I have as a top in the first pic.
it is quite malvelous to see how clothes get new life according to who is wearing it!!
that is why I love fashion!!!
I love the skirt she is wearing like a necklace almost in the top photo. It looks like it is an old piece of Hmong embroidery, or by another ethnic group in the mountainous areas of Southeast Asia or southern China.
She's very ethereal and funky at the same time. That's hard to do.

"Style seems secondary here

Habit"
Ah, but a quirky, out-there habit can be quite revealing in a way that simple mastery of style may not. You can have great style that says nothing about the wearer; the fashionistas you see who work in the business can put together the perfect edgy, androgynous, punky look one day and the next, show up in some flirty, feminine dress and sky-high heels and pull off each outfit perfectly in the process because they know how to work proportion, color, &c. But they don't make a forceful individualist statement in the process. Now, that's just fine, because people are complex and dynamic and multifaceted and self-contradictory, and it's all a completely honest reflection of themselves.
However, I find the odd and uncommon, perhaps even "extreme," quirks to be the most engaging. If you work the same unusual silhouette or layering pattern or color pallet or what-have-you all the time, it says something about what makes you unique... and it's nice to see people being different.
It's entirely possible that this is just the result of a childhood full of cartoons conditioning me to love uniform-like, unusual styles that reveal something about the nature of the characer 8D
When I look at her, I want to ask if she's okay. She looks so sad and fragile :(
I want those boots.
I want to take her home.
incredible shoes!
I love her! She is so adorable and original:)
it's not neat and chic but still lovely all the same.
it's probably not "thrown together" either, but i love the fabrics and the shoes and the proportion. she looks like a little doll.
the expression though, it's not sad per se but something else...
If the asymmetrical pant length is intentional, kudos to her. That would be interesting and impressive. The fact that I'm not sure about the intentionality, however, is not so good.
I just adore her silhouette and especially of course her shoes which make her look like a nice hobbit.
I have not posted any of the comments about this young ladies weight because it is simply something we cannot really know about for sure.
I do think it is a valid discussion but not one that i am comfortable having on this blog.
all I know is that I saw her around all week during the shows and she was very animated and physical in doing her job. In the photos I took of her, she took on those poses as an expression of her persona. It was the way she wanted to present herself in photos, she was always very smiley when i was around her - I don't pretend to understand why she takes on this persona but that is not up to me.
Trying to figure out how to deal with these issues is , by far, the most difficult part in running this blog. I hope you understand
hi scott she has always been my favorite on your blog. I would love to the the photos she takes. Do you know where I could look at them?
thanks so much
anoushka
As someone who sent a comment about the young woman's weight, I really appreciate your explanation--and the tricky position you are in. So thank you.
She's beautiful
I would never consider either of these outfits but there is something so right about her.
BUT... what's up with those shoes?
In both pic!! Crazy Ugly!
Has anyone seen Fern Gully - She reminds me of Magi - crazy talk! like the shoes.
love the shoes! love the dresses! love the girl!
anonymous 2:16 said it best
thanks
i love her individualistic way of dressing ..she not completely out of sync to be labeled a total disaster but she completely individualizes it ..n the BOOTS ..they add so much to her ..
shes like a funky caricature i would draw to show case an out fit and then the boots would completely complete the whole "look"
shes her ..and not a fashionista..shes an individualist..
the layers are well put together
i so wish i could be like that unchanging with seasons..and have a style which people recognise to be "me" yet not be a way out non-fashion follower!
shes the cutest!!
I miss New York so much
There's a beauty to her..and I find it to be captivating.
she looks like noodle from "The gorillaz". OO"
thtas sooooo cool! XD
the way she dresses leaves me unsettled but in a good way. i love her shoes.
I get what she's trying to do, but I loathe the shoes in both pics. Cute getup otherwise.
She has very unusual shoes
Is she "REI KATO"??
ı love her style but ı don't like her shoes.so her style very cool without shoes.
my favorite part is the wee backpack. she looks like a sweet fairy !
OOOOO! in the first picture she's wearing a traditional Hmong skirt from the Hmong costume as a top! (I'm Hmong, so I can confirm that)
I love it, never seen it worn like that before.
